Because drug laws and ordinances in Colorado are frequently updated, we stay on top of every shift in policy or enforcement, including how recent changes might expand or restrict your available options. When you work with Johnson Law Group, you receive both experienced legal representation and the local insight vital for navigating Denver’s legal system effectively.

Drug Crime Defense Services & Local Insight

As a seasoned drug attorney in Denver, our team handles a broad range of drug-related allegations, such as:

  • Possession of controlled substances
  • Possession with intent to distribute
  • Distribution, sale, or manufacture of illegal drugs
  • Prescription drug fraud or unlawful possession
  • Marijuana crimes—including violating state limits or unlawful distribution
  • Federal drug charges prosecuted in Denver or surrounding jurisdictions
  • Drug paraphernalia offenses

We adjust our representation to suit both misdemeanor and felony accusations, always exploring opportunities for reduced penalties, pretrial diversion, dismissal, or alternative sentencing under Colorado and Denver court policies. Our lawyers thoroughly weigh each client’s personal and legal situation before recommending next steps.

Our Process: Defending Drug Charges in Denver

  • Personalized review: We begin with a private, one-on-one consultation where your concerns are heard and your goals drive our next steps.
  • Thorough investigation: Our defense process involves a detailed review of evidence, law enforcement procedures, search and seizure, and the specific application of Colorado Revised Statues (such as C.R.S. 18-18-403.5 regarding drug possession).
  • Custom defense strategies: Every case calls for a different solution, whether it’s challenging prosecution evidence, seeking pretrial diversion, or pushing for reduced charges within the unique context of Denver’s legal system.
  • Step-by-step support: Whether you’re in pretrial hearings, negotiating plea agreements, or preparing for trial, we make sure you’re prepared and informed at each turn.
  • Supporting your long-term future: Beyond the current charge, we advise on record sealing, expungement, or minimizing collateral consequences under Colorado law whenever possible.

Throughout every stage, our focus is on reducing your stress and increasing your understanding. Drug charges can be daunting, but when you have a proven legal advocate in your corner, you’ll never navigate the process alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Most Common Drug Charges in Denver?

The most frequent charges in Denver involve possession of controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute, and distribution or manufacturing offenses. Severity depends on the type and amount of the substance involved under Colorado law.

Can I Get Drug Charges Dismissed or Reduced in Denver?

Some cases may qualify for diversion, reduced charges, or dismissal, especially for first-time offenders or situations involving procedural errors. Options depend on the details of your case and Denver County’s local programs.

Does Colorado Treat Marijuana Offenses Differently?

While marijuana is legal in Colorado for adults within certain limits, violations such as illegal distribution, possession over the limit, or underage possession can still result in criminal charges. State law diverges from federal regulations here.

What Should I Do If I’m Charged With a Drug Offense?

Speak with an attorney promptly. You have the right to remain silent and to request counsel before making statements. Early legal guidance helps protect your rights and strengthen your defense.

How Long Does a Drug Case Usually Take in Denver Courts?

Timelines vary by the charges, court schedules, and complexity of the case. Cases may resolve quickly through diversion or plea agreements, while others that proceed to trial take longer to resolve.
