An Attorney Who Will Fight Your Drug Charges
The government has infinite resources to investigate and prosecute drug crimes. But the court also has many choices in how it deals with offenders. If you or a family member has been arrested on drug charges, you need a qualified and experienced attorney to confront the prosecution's case and guide you toward less serious consequences.
The Law Office of Philip R. Nathe protects your Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure, and strives to achieve the best possible outcome. Based in Naperville, Illinois, we represent clients throughout DuPage, Cook, Kane, Will, and Kendall counties in all drug-related charges:
- Drug possession charges (marijuana, cocaine, meth, heroin, ecstasy, or other controlled substances)
- Sale or intent to distribute
- Importing / trafficking
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Manufacture (making crack cocaine, operating a meth lab)
Whatever It Takes
Many lawyers are unwilling to go to trial for their clients. Although a plea negotiation may turn out to be the best strategy, prosecutors are less likely to make a favorable deal if they believe your lawyer is reluctant to try the case in a courtroom.
Philip Nathe is a veteran criminal defense attorney with 16 years of experience defending clients against all types of crimes. His 28 years of experience in the DuPage County justice system includes service as a courtroom clerk, probation officer, and assistant criminal prosecutor for the county. Clients have the triple advantage of his trial experience, his insider perspective, and his solid reputation. When Philip Nathe presents a defense, the judges and prosecutors know it's no smokescreen, but backed by facts and thorough preparation.
Protecting Your Rights
Courts are under pressure to deal harshly with drug offenders. The Law Office of Philip R. Nathe believes firmly in every citizen's constitutional rights. We investigate the facts of your case to make sure law enforcement and the prosecutors have not infringed on your rights -- including your right to remain silent, to have an attorney present during questioning, and your right against unreasonable search and seizure.
Whether you facing a drug arrest for misdemeanor marijuana or federal felony charges for drug trafficking, Philip Nathe seeks the most favorable outcome. The courts have considerable latitude and options. For possession of small amounts, he can argue for several options that avoid a drug conviction:
- Drug court
- Drug school
- Section 10 probation
- TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities)
In more serious or multiple drug charges, a conviction with probation, jail or prison time may be unavoidable. If the case cannot be dismissed on constitutional or procedural grounds, Mr. Nathe is a skilled negotiator who will fight for a reduced or alternative sentence to gain the best outcome possible under the circumstances.
