Practice Areas Description

The Law Office of Steven Fine handles a wide range of criminal law cases including:

- Drug Crimes

If you have been arrested for a drug offense, you want an experienced Chicago drug crimes defense attorney on your side. At the Law Office of Steven Fine, we protect the rights of people facing a wide range of drug charges throughout the Illinois state and federal courts. Whether you have been charged with simple possession or a more serious intent to sell charge, we can help you build the best possible defense. With more than 16 years of criminal law experience, attorney Steven Fine is prepared to handle a wide range of drug crimes, including:

* Drug Possession

It is unlawful for any person to knowingly possess illegal drugs, such as pot, cocaine and meth. It is also illegal to possess many prescription drugs without the proper prescription. You could even face criminal charges for simply owning drug paraphernalia, if it contains any kind of residue of an illegal substance. The potential consequences depend on a number of factors, including the type of drug, but we have the resources to protect you rights for a wide range of possession charges, including: Marijuana possession; Cocaine possession; Heroin possession. If you are caught with enough of a certain type of drug, you could end up facing more serious charges such as possession with intent to distribute. We will work to protect your rights.

* Illegal Search and Seizure

Almost all drug charges are based off evidence gathered in a search and seizure procedure by the police. However, there are strict laws regulating how search and seizure must be conducted, and law enforcement officials do not always follow the law. The biggest challenge facing many people arrested on drug charges usually comes down to how the evidence against them was collected. There are limited ways that police can gather evidence, and they often take liberties in order to make arrests. In all cases, police must be able to demonstrate probable cause before they can conduct their searches.

- DUI Defense

Anyone can be given a DUI, and while you may not be a criminal, you may soon have a criminal record if you do not fight back. While the exact charges depend on a number of factors, there are serious consequences for both misdemeanor and felony DUIs. There are a number of ways to defend against a DUI or drunk driving charge. We will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your case to determine whether the police followed proper procedure when administering field sobriety tests and if they had a good reason to stop you in the first place.

- Sex Crimes

A sex crime conviction will change the rest of your life. Prison time is a very real threat, but even when you get out of jail, you will have to register as a sex offender for years to come or even the rest of your life. Sex crimes carry arguably the most severe potential consequences. Whether you have been falsely accused or the allegations against you have been exaggerated, we will conduct a thorough investigation into your case, so you get the chance to tell your side of the story. We handle the following sex crime cases in state and federal courts: Child pornography; Sexual assault/sexual abuse; Rape; Molestation; Internet crimes.

* Internet Sex Crimes

Sex crimes involving the Internet can be especially dangerous. As a new area of law, prosecutors do everything they can to punish alleged offenders to the full extent of the law. Many people facing Internet sex crimes do not take the charges as seriously as physical sex crimes because they believe it is hard to get evidence. In fact, the opposite is true. If you have been charged with child pornography possession or distribution, the potential consequences are especially high because you will be tried in federal courts. With mandatory sentencing guidelines and less strict rules regarding what evidence can be used in court, the stakes and the level of difficulty are both higher. Having handled hundreds of federal cases, defense lawyer Steve Fine knows how to protect your rights.

- Property Crimes

Our firm handles all types of theft crimes, from simple shoplifting to armed robbery, robbery and burglary. When conducting a thorough investigation, we will work to build the best possible defense.

- Weapons Offenses

Whether you have been arrested for the unlawful possession of a firearm or you face weapons charges as an aggravating factor in another case, the consequences are serious. You need to hire an aggressive, experienced and trusted criminal defense attorney.
