Successful criminal defense requires a strong strategy. In drug charge cases, that strategy starts by reviewing the steps taken by law enforcement prior to the arrest, related to search and seizure.

Our attorneys are experienced in handling cases involving all controlled substances, including those involving medical marijuana. We have handled cases involving the use of medical marijuana while not in possession of a medical marijuana card issued by the state of Colorado or while otherwise not strictly adhering to the letter of the law.

The Impact Of A Drug Charge Conviction

Drug charges need to be taken seriously because they can have serious consequences. Even charges that may be perceived as minor, such as drug possession, will have an impact. A conviction on this charge and the resulting criminal record could impact future employment prospects. That is not even taking into account the immediate fines and the potential of mandatory incarceration in the more severe drug cases. Our lawyers have the experience and strength to fight for you.
