When Associations Become Accusations: Defending Against Conspiracy Charges In Chicago And Beyond
Conspiracy charges can turn seemingly innocent associations into serious legal accusations. Even without committing a crime, you could face conspiracy charges for simply knowing the wrong people, having certain conversations or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
At Pissetzky Law LLC, our experienced conspiracy defense attorneys know these cases inside and out. We understand the devastating impact they can have on your life. Whether you’re up against drug conspiracy allegations or federal conspiracy charges anywhere in Illinois, our aggressive tactics and deep knowledge of conspiracy laws can be your defense.
What Are Federal Conspiracy Laws?
Federal conspiracy laws cast a wide net, often ensnaring individuals in complex legal situations. At its core, a conspiracy occurs when two or more people agree to commit a crime and take steps toward that goal. However, in practice, conspiracy cases are often more complicated:
- You can face charges even if the alleged crime never occurred.
- Prosecutors use conspiracy charges to implicate even those barely connected to the supposed crime.
- Even minimal involvement can result in charges as severe as those faced by the main participants.
- Federal conspiracy charges often come bundled with other serious allegations (such as drug trafficking, various types of fraud or racketeering).
Our Chicago-based conspiracy defense lawyers are well-versed in Illinois’ criminal laws. We will scrutinize every aspect of the prosecution’s case bit by bit, from the alleged agreement to any steps they claim you took to further the plan. With us on your side, you’ll get a defense strategy built specifically for your case.
What Is The Punishment For Conspiracy?
A conspiracy conviction can have severe consequences. Punishments vary based on the underlying crime and can include:
- Years of imprisonment, often matching the sentence of the planned crime
- Substantial fines and seizure of assets
- A permanent criminal record that can affect your future opportunities
The consequences can be even more brutal for drug conspiracy or federal conspiracy charges. Our dedicated conspiracy defense attorneys know exactly what’s at stake. We’ve fought against all types of conspiracy allegations, from white collar crimes to violent federal offenses such as bank robbery and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) cases.
