A Denver Drug Lawyer can Help
|
Hiring an experienced attorney is critical to protecting your rights when facing a Colorado drug charge. A drug conviction often leads to jail time, probation, mandatory treatment, job loss and a permanent criminal record.
The Denver defense lawyers at The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal believe that anyone facing drug charges deserves immediate access to aggressive, high-quality legal representation. Our firm offers a free and confidential consultation to anyone facing drug charges in the Denver area, including Aurora, Englewood, Lakewood and Boulder.
Colorado law takes into account the fact that many people charged with drug crimes have simply made a mistake, or need treatment, and won’t benefit from spending time behind bars. However, the law does makes no special consideration for those who think representing themselves is a good idea.
A Denver attorney experienced in handling drug charges has years of knowledge and experience at his or her disposal. Offenders may qualify for drug court, treatment or other alternative sentences instead of spending time in jail. Evidence gathered during the search of your home or car may have been improper or you may have been overcharged based on the weight or type of drugs seized. In still other cases, a drug arrest may have involved an improper controlled buy, or confidential informant who acted improperly.
Any of these issues can result in a reduction or dismissal of charges when handled by an experienced attorney.
An attorney can also help guide you through the system and explain your options at each stage of the legal process. Even at sentencing, unreasonable conditions of probation or other orders of the court can leave an unwitting defendant open to charges for future violations and can significantly reduce the chances of making a clean break and claiming a fresh start after putting a drug charge behind you.
And Colorado law often carries increased penalties for repeat violators. So a seemingly minor violation could result in serious problems in the event you are arrested in the future.
More than 17,000 people face Colorado drug charges each year and the vast majority of those occur in the Denver area – that’s nearly 50 cases a day. The simple act of hiring an attorney may be enough to get the state’s attorney to offer a deal just to get your case moved through the system. While any deal is usually better than no deal, our Denver defense attorneys are not in court with you to take whatever the state feels like offering. We know your rights. We understand the system. And we can help you understand the best options available to you to fight for your rights, your freedom and your future well-being.
We strongly believe in building each case for trial from the moment we accept the responsibility of representing a client. By doing so, we are negotiating from a position of strength when we meet with the state to discuss your options. At the same time, we understand paying for an attorney can be difficult, and we will discuss that with you to make sure you understand what to expect.
Above all, we encourage you to at least take advantage of our free consultation and give us a call to discuss your rights. Contact The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal today and let us fight for you.
