Drug CrimesMinimum Sentence on Reduced Charges Class X Drug Charges
Client accused of trafficking large amounts of cannabis. Charges reduced from Class X to Class 1.
Our client was at a local hospital for heart-related issues. When the anesthesiologist administered the medication for the procedure, she did so in the wrong order and dosage. This caused a serious injury to our client. The client received an outstanding settlement after being turned away by several firms, including a firm in the Chicago area.
Our client suffered emotional distress when the anesthesiologist administered medication in the wrong order, resulting in the client being temporarily awake during a procedure. Via confidential settlement, the client was substantially compensated for his injuries.
Our client had a medical cannabis card in another state. He was stopped for speeding, and the officer noticed the cannabis. Charged with possessing illegal drugs.

This Peoria County case involved a city bus driver who took too wide of a turn and hit our client. We drafted a lawsuit but were ultimately able to settle the case. We went to the client’s home, which had no means of transportation. We are willing to go the extra mile to help a client. If that means making house calls, we do it. This client had been told “No” before on this claim. We got her to a settlement, and her bills were paid!
Our client was a resident of California and was investigated for mailing large amounts of drugs to Illinois. A contact in Bloomington allegedly received several packages. The United States Postmaster General’s office intercepted the packages. The Bloomington contact provided information to law enforcement, and our client was arrested. The weight of the cannabis mailed to Bloomington elevated the charges to Class X, which is punishable by a term in prison from 6-30 years and is non-probation eligible. We reduced the charges to Class 1, which is in the 4-15-year range. Our client did the MINIMUM TERM as charged.
