The defense attorneys at the Law Offices of Davis & LaScola commonly represent clients charged with Delivery of Cannabis or other Controlled Substances throughout the Chicagoland area (including Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, and McHenry counties).

In Illinois, if one has been charged with delivery of cannabis, it can be a misdemeanor offense only if the amount of the cannabis allegedly delivered is 10 grams or less. If the amount of cannabis exceeds 10 grams, then a Class 4 Felony can be charged. Similar to the Possession charge noted above, the larger the amount of cannabis allegedly delivered, the greater the class of felony charged.

Delivery of the other controlled substances listed above is always charged as a felony offense. An allegation that the accused engaged in an actual sale or hand-to-hand delivery is not the only way a charge of delivery can be brought. Possession with intent to deliver is a subsection of this charge. This means that possessing significant amounts of a controlled substance can be charged under this section. In addition to significant amounts of a substance that go beyond personal consumption, the presence of individual baggies, a scale, or other contraband normally associated with the sale and distribution of controlled substances can help the prosecution develop this charge. Just as noted above with straight possession charges, these are very serious offenses and require the assistance of an experienced criminal attorney.
