Drug Crimes Defense in Illinois

In the Illinois criminal justice system, he handles distribution, sales, and possession cases involving methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin, and crack. His thorough understanding of the law benefits clients regarding:

• warrants and arrests
• probable cause
• wrongful search and seizure

When Attorney Marcus succeeds in suppressing the evidence found from an illegal search or other fourth amendment violations, your cases may be dismissed, as the prosecutor may be left with no evidence to present.

Federal Drug Crime Offenses

More complex issues often arise in the federal system. Federal narcotics cases are more likely to involve multiple defendants, large-scale importation or smuggling operations, conspiracy charges, and extremely severe penalties that raise the criminal liability stakes for everyone involved. To make sure that you're not the last one left when everyone else pleads out in a drug trafficking bust, you need the advantages that a sophisticated drug trafficking defense attorney can provide.

As a former Special Prosecutor, James Marcus was appointed to conduct investigations and prosecutions of major international drug operations in Miami, Denver, and Thailand. As a young lawyer in the Justice Department's Honors Program, he was assigned to monitor and supervise federal narcotics cases all over the United States, and prepare memoranda for presentation to Congress and the Solicitor General. This professional background and his national contacts have remained useful throughout James Marcus' criminal defense career.
