Colorado Drug-Related Misdemeanor and Felony Charges

The State of Colorado has relaxed its stance on marijuana, however many other misdemeanor or felony drug offenses are still in effect. Crimes under Colorado State Law include possession, distribution, manufacturing, cultivation, and carrying drug paraphernalia. If convicted of any of these crimes, there are some stiff penalties to pay, which can include incarceration, parole, and fines.

Ramifications of Drug-Related Convictions

A Personalized Approach

The Brown Law Firm works hard to examine the facts and evidence related to your case to make sure none of your rights were violated. For example, sometimes unlawful searches or illegally obtained confessions take place. If this potentially occurred in your situation, we’ll get to the bottom of the issue and make sure you are protected against unlawful search and seizure.

Addiction & Drug-Related Convictions

Many drug offenses may be the result of addiction, which can happen even with prescription medicine. Going to jail will never solve this health-related problem, but treatment and therapy can. The Brown Law Firm believes the legal system should explore alternatives before sending people directly to jail where they can’t get the help they need. If addiction applies to your situation, The Brown Law Firm will be proactive with the prosecution and judge to demonstrate why treatment would be a better alternative to incarceration with a more positive outcome.
