A drug conviction in Illinois can have consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom. Depending on the charge and the circumstances of your case, it can affect your freedom, finances, career, and future opportunities.

A conviction may result in:

✓ Jail or Prison Time: Penalties can range from probation to significant incarceration depending on the type of drug, the amount involved, prior convictions, and other aggravating factors.
✓ Fines, Court Costs, and Other Financial Penalties: A conviction can lead to substantial fines, court costs, mandatory program fees, and other expenses that quickly add up.
✓ A Permanent Criminal Record: A drug conviction can make it more difficult to find employment, secure housing, obtain professional licenses, or pursue educational opportunities.
✓ Loss of Driving Privileges: Certain drug convictions may result in the suspension of your driver's license under Illinois law, making it harder to work, attend school, and meet everyday responsibilities.
