Colorado drugs laws are the most aggressively investigated and zealously prosecuted in the state. Hiring an experienced attorney is vital to protecting your freedom and your rights.

The Denver defense attorneys at The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal have helped countless clients deal with drug charges throughout the area, including Aurora, Englewood, Lakewood and Boulder. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to win the best outcome possible in your case, which could include treatment instead of jail or prison time, alternative sentencing such as drug court, or investigating your case and preparing to fight for your rights at trial.

Colorado drug laws are complex. Without the assistance of an attorney capable of mounting a rigorous defense, the threat of jail time is very real.

The 17,851 state arrests for drug abuse in 2008 were the most of any criminal category, except larceny and property crimes. And many of those crimes were committed to pay for a drug habit. In fact, the number of drug arrests outpaced the combined total for murder, rape, robbery, burglary, auto theft, aggravated assault, weapons violations and arson.

The federal government reports that 1 in 5 of the state’s 23,000 inmates are in prison for drug offenses. In reality, that number is much higher. Some estimate that 75 percent of the nation’s prison population is incarcerated for a drug-related offense, including burglary and property crimes committed to fuel a drug habit.
