Defending Clients Against Simple Possession Charges in Colorado
In Colorado, even simple possession of a relatively small amount of illegal drugs can carry serious consequences. While simple marijuana possession has been largely decriminalized, possession of other drugs such as cocaine, LSD and heroin still carries harsh penalties.
I am Thomas J. Hammond, a Denver drug possession attorney with more than 27 years of Colorado legal experience. I am committed to protecting the interests of clients who have been accused of drug offenses by helping them avoid or reduce serious criminal penalties.
Fighting to Avoid Jail Time, Fines and a Criminal Record
In Colorado, illegal possession of any drug listed in Schedule I or II of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act is punishable as a felony offense. Schedule I includes drugs such as heroin and LSD, while Schedule II includes powder and crack cocaine, as well as some prescription drugs.
If you are convicted of felony drug possession, you could face a jail sentence, fines, and a criminal record that will limit your education, employment and right to bear arms.
If you have been accused of possession with intent to distribute, a repeat drug offense or another aggravating factor, you could be facing even harsher criminal penalties.
It is important to discuss your options with an experienced lawyer. Depending on the facts of your case, it may be possible to arrange a plea bargain, avoid conviction through a treatment program, exclude unlawfully obtained evidence or offer a defense against the charges.
