Chicago Drug Charges Defense Attorney
In cases involving drug charges, prosecutors often hold a strong position. They have the power and resources of the government behind them, and they will use them. The consequences are often severe and permanent. If you, or someone you know, has been arrested, or is being investigated, for drug charges, you need an immediate and aggressive defense.
My name is Robert Kerr, and my office handles cases involving cocaine, heroin, marijuana/cannabis, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and others. I am an experienced criminal defense attorney who fights for the rights and freedom of people accused of all types of drug charges in State and Federal Courts, including:
- Possession, manufacture and delivery of drugs
- Possession with intent to deliver
- Narcotics trafficking and conspiracy to traffic
- Probation violations
- Prescription forgery and fraud
- Weapons-related charges
- And others
Whether the charges involve a gram or kilo, a small container or a truckload, the Law Office of Robert Kerr is prepared to fight your case. I have successfully represented clients in Cook, Lake, Kane, and DeKalb counties who were facing possession, manufacture, delivery, conspiracy and/or trafficking charges related to large amounts of drugs. I know how to work with, and against, Illinois prosecutors in different counties to obtain the results most appropriate for your case.
I will also seek the return of your property and assets subject to permanent forfeiture.
Call 312-955-4400 to arrange for a free consultation. I can evaluate your situation and discuss the defense strategies I could use to defend your rights and freedom.
Act Immediately and Make the Prosecutor Prove Everything
Some defense lawyers are only too willing to negotiate a plea for their clients. I believe in aggressively defending my clients at every stage of the process. From the government's investigation (pre-arrest) to the preliminary hearing (post-arrest), and from a motion to suppress evidence to a jury trial, my defense philosophy is to put the government in a position where they have to prove everything.
I examine every detail of the arrest and the events leading up to it. I will challenge the arrest and evidence on Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment grounds. I will attack the arrest warrant or determination of probable cause, the search warrant, the chain of custody of the evidence, the testimony of arresting officers, and even the lab reports regarding the nature of the alleged illegal substance.
I will aggressively defend you and give you the individual attention you deserve
Drug Court and Alternatives to Conviction
In many cases, it makes sense to seek an outcome that allows the defendant to avoid conviction and/or incarceration. I understand the various programs available in Illinois, including drug court, special felony probation, supervision in lieu of conviction, TASC probation, and others. Misdemeanor drug charges and even some felony charges may be eligible for expungement, and I will work to achieve such an outcome for you, when it is appropriate.
