Protecting the Accused from Unfair Tactics

Too often, the so-called “war on drugs” becomes a war on individual rights. We regularly see cases where police stretch the limits of the law, conducting questionable car stops, “knock and talk” visits, or searches without proper cause. 

Our firm pushes back by challenging illegal searches, unlawful seizures, and unreliable police testimony. When law enforcement fails to follow constitutional procedure, we expose those violations and work to have the evidence suppressed.

Our approach places the prosecution on the defensive. We scrutinize every step of the investigation, from how the drugs were found to whether the officers truly had probable cause. Whether your case involves a minor possession charge or an allegation of large-scale trafficking, we fight to level the playing field.

Drug Crime Penalties in Colorado

Drug offenses carry serious consequences that vary depending on the type and amount of the substance involved, as well as prior convictions. Possession of a controlled substance can range from a misdemeanor with fines and probation to a felony punishable by years in prison.

 Distribution, trafficking, or manufacturing charges are treated more severely and can result in lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines, and mandatory minimums in some cases. Additionally, convictions can affect your employment, education, and housing opportunities. 

Our attorney helps clients understand these potential penalties and fights to mitigate the consequences wherever possible.
