Your Go-To Drug Crime Attorney in Colorado

While Colorado is known for its progressive stance on drugs, specifically marijuana, charges for drug-related crimes can still be quite severe. The state of Colorado has legalized the use of cannabis for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Drugs that remain illegal include: cocaine, heroin, LSD, methamphetamine (meth), steroids, opium, and unauthorized prescription drugs.

These drugs are divided up into five groups, called schedules. Schedule I drugs are penalized most severely, since these substances have the highest risk of abuse; Schedule V drugs, on the other hand, are the least likely to provoke continued dependence and are thus penalized more leniently.

The severity of the penalties in drug-related cases depend on several factors. The following are some of the most common considerations:

• The type of drug involved
• The amount of drugs involved
• Whether you were using, selling, or producing the drug in question
• Any previous record of drug-related charges
• Any previous drug treatments you have received
• Whether you were arrested with a gun or other weapon in your possession
• Whether you were actually in possession of the drugs (i.e. they were found in a shared space)

If you are facing drug charges, an experienced drug defense lawyer can help analyze the above factors to create an effective strategy tailored to your case. Contact Suro Law today to get started.

The specific defense we use always depends on the unique details of the case at hand. However, some of our most common approaches include the following:

• The search and seizure was unlawful and violated your Fourth Amendment rights. This is a solid approach if the search occurred without a warrant, consent, or probable cause.
• The drugs did not actually belong to you. For example, you were in a shared space with the drugs, such as a car or home, but not in possession of them.
• The drugs are missing. In some cases, the prosecution may not have the physical drugs in question, and as such there may be a lack of evidence necessary to convict.

Of course, every defense looks different and depends on the circumstances surrounding your case. If you are in need of a drug possession lawyer in Denver, reach out to Suro Law today. We will deep dive into the specifics of your situation and create an impactful defense strategy.
