Denver Drug Defense Attorney

DENVER DRUG DEFENSE ATTORNEY

If you have been charged with a drug-related crime in Denver or the surrounding area, often the first question you may ask yourself is whether or not it is worth it to hire an attorney. The short answer is yes. You should always speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Decline to answer any questions from police or investigators until you speak with an attorney! Even when I was a Deputy District Attorney I would advise people to speak with an attorney before making decisions. Speaking with an attorney is a right provided under the United States Constitution and is a right that anyone accused of a drug-related crime should take advantage of. If you are charged and convicted of a drug crime such as possession or intent to distribute, it can have lasting impacts on all aspects of your life. It can affect your job, your housing, your ability to leave the state, and ultimately your freedom.

Drug cases have numerous nuances that are made even more complicated by the newest set of laws. An experienced Denver Drug Defense Lawyer can work through those nuances with you and help you make an informed decision regarding your future. A mistake by the police during any aspect of your arrest or during the collection of evidence can have a big impact on how a case proceeds. Retaining a Denver Drug Defense Attorney will ensure you have someone in your corner who knows what to look for in a case and will be able to determine the best way for you to proceed.

If you have been charged with a drug-related crime and if you have limited knowledge of Colorado drug laws, it’s always smart to speak to an experienced drug defense attorney about your options before you decide to make a plea or even talk to prosecutors. Speaking with a Drug Defense Attorney as soon as possible will always help to increase the chances of a favorable outcome of your case. When you hire an attorney it becomes their duty to advocate on your behalf and fight for your rights in court to give you the best possible outcome for your particular situation.

The answer to that question often depends on the details of your particular charges and if you have any previous drug charges. Some factors that will have an impact on how much a drug defense attorney will charge include whether the charge is a misdemeanor or felony, and how severe the particular charges and potential penalties are. Of course, each case is unique and you may or may not have factors involved in your case that would allow it to be dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge.
