Drug Crime Attorneys in Peoria IL

Defending Clients Against Drug Charges

Here in Illinois, even minor drug offenses can carry serious, long-term penalties. When a conviction for a drug crime has been entered on a person’s record, it not only comes with fines and jail time — it can also affect career and educational opportunities for years to come. If falsely accused of a drug crime you did not commit, you need representation from experienced drug crime attorneys in Peoria IL.

A collection of illegal drugs, the center of a case for Drug Crime Attorneys in Peoria IL

No matter what charges you face, we strive to find the resolution that will have the least disruptive impact on your life.

Seeking Out Alternative Resolutions

Even when it is not possible to see charges dropped, defense attorneys still play an important role in their clients’ futures. At Schierer & Ritchie, LLC, we strive to find resolutions that will not affect our clients’ criminal records.

For example, under Illinois law, first-time nonviolent offenders can enter into a special probationary program that stands in place of a conviction. This program seeks to rehabilitate first-time offenders, rather than punish them. As long as the participant respects the terms of the probation, no conviction will be entered into his or her record.

CLIENT REVIEWS

“I would highly recommend Mr. Schierer for your attorney needs. He was very attentive, listen to what I had to say and spent about a half hour on the phone with me going over options. When I phoned him about my case I was doing it on my own and he was more than glad to help me and pointed out some things that would also help.”
- Rick
“Mother of my child was trying to move child support out of jurisdiction. Tiffany Richie sucessfully argued and won to keep all child support issues in my home state. I was impressed how hard she fought for Fathers rights.
- Scott
