More details to this question:
I am engaged to a man that is an illegal immigrant. He has been living in the US for the past 10 years. He has no criminal record. I am a US citizen myself. I wanted to know what my chances are of adjusting his status once we are married and if I should even attempt to adjust his status. I have an acquaintance that tried to apply for her husband and he got a 10-year. penalty.

IF he entered the US unlawfully, under the current immigration laws, he is not eligible to adjust status within the US.

If you get married (and you are a USC) then you may be able to ue the new Provisional Waiver rules to get him the green card. The new Provisional Waiver rules took effect on March 4th, 2013. The process for his green card is complex but a competent immigration lawyer or attorney should be able to assist you/him with the process.
