Narcotics Investigations
Investigation is the key to any criminal case,
not only by the prosecution but also the Defense. We
at Johnson Law Group have the unique skills and
techniques necessary to prepare every client to
deal effectively with all federal or state narcotics
prosecutions.
Most investigators need specialized knowledge and
skills that relate to the type of work their agency
performs. For example, IRS investigators are specialists
in accounting practices and tax law, while criminal
investigators for the Environmental Protection Agency
specialize in environmental law and practices. Narcotics
Investigators and Defense Investigators are well
versed in investigating federal and state drug offenses
for the defense.
The professionals at Johnson Law Group piece
together the who, what, where, and why of each case
we handle. We collect, examine, and interpret evidence
on cases of every imaginable type and scope.
The government has their investigators, investigating
a range of cases that involve alleged violations
of federal law. These are the criminal investigators
who work as FBI agents, US Marshall deputies,
IRS special agents, DEA agents, and postal inspectors,
among others. They examine financial records to
solve cases of white-collar crime, monitor court-ordered
wiretaps of people suspected of breaking federal
law, interview witnesses in cases of drug trafficking,
and do undercover work.
The government has their investigators, and you need yours. We at Johnson Law Group possess the strong research skills, drive and analytical ability to fit together the pieces of a puzzling case. We use hard hitting teams that have an extensive working knowledge of human behavior and the criminal justice system. The services and skills of the staff of Johnson Law Group include: - Conducting interviews and searches

Johnson
Law Group attorneys have represented hundreds of
clients who have been charged with felony drug offenses.
In these cases our attorneys have obtained outstanding
results which have included dismissals (outright
& delayed) of all charges in exchange for our
client agreeing to undergo drug treatment in lieu
of prosecution. Here are some examples of
amazing results by the Johnson Law Group team!
Cocaine Trafficking
JLG client was caught "red handed" selling an ounce of cocaine to an undercover detective. The charge carries a mandatory 6 yrs in prison. Result: JLG attorneys successfully convinced the prosecutors not to file charges for over 1 ? yrs from the time of the incident. This has allowed our client the opportunity to work and obtain his college degree as an alternative to a lengthy jail sentence. Posses ion w/Intent to Deliver JLG client was charged with Posses ion with Intent to Deliver of a Controlled Substance, a Class 1 Felony. Client was also charged with a Misdemeanor and Speeding Ticket. With our client looking at several years in a state prison, JLG went to work. Our client was a college student with no prior criminal history. After extensive background investigations on our client, receiving an overwhelming amount of support from friends and family, several months of litigations and lengthy negotiations our Attorney, convinced the state of Illinois to drop all charges except one.
Result: Our client was found guilty of Speeding in which he received 90 days court supervision, plus fines and court cost. No Jail time served. No Felony conviction and best of all, no Criminal Record.
Possession of Methamphetamine
Faced with Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine 100-400 grams), which ranks as a felony in the first degree, a conviction would have meant no less than six years in prison for our client. Making matters worse, the defendant was eventually indicted by the federal government for Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine, a class X felony, and Manufacture of Methamphetamine with Intent to Deliver, also a class X felony.If convicted, the defendant was facing a possible sentence of life imprisonment. With their experience and the use of an aggressive defense, Johnson Law Group attorneys successfully turned the tables. Result: All charges were dismissed.
Possession Cannabis & Paraphernalia
Client was traveling from out of state for the purpose of visiting relatives when she was pulled over for a traffic violation. Upon further investigation by the police, the client was found to have drugs and paraphernalia on her person.
Result: 1 court appearance- court supervision with no conviction upon completion of court supervision. Charge: Drug Trafficking Marijuana / Felony in the Fourth Degree
After reviewing overwhelming evidence and realizing if the case were to go to trial the chances of our client winning were very slim. Our Attorney was able to convince the state to allow our client to plead guilty to a lesser offense. Client received a 6 month driver's license suspension with an extremely small fine. Result: No Jail Time Served.
Charge: Drug Trafficking
Client was charged with Drug-Trafficking in marijuana, a felony in the fourth degree. We advised our client not to go for a trial in this case, but to agree to a plea. Our client pled guilty to a crime of lesser degree with a sentence of six months driver's license suspension and a small fine.
Result: No jail time was served!
