Denver Marijuana Charges Attorney

Marijuana Possession Defense

The state of Colorado takes marijuana possession, distribution, and trafficking charges very seriously. If you are facing marijuana charges, do not wait to contact an attorney who can explain your legal options and help you seek the best possible outcome.

I am Denver, Colorado, criminal defense lawyer Andres Guevara, and I have more than 15 years of experience in criminal law. I am a former prosecutor who understands both sides of a drug crime case. I will thoroughly investigate your case and determine a course of action based on your goals. Contact me to set up a free initial consultation.

Details About Marijuana Charges

Do not be lulled into a false sense of security with the movement to increase marijuana dispensaries in Colorado. Police officers are still arresting people for marijuana possession and sale cases and people are facing serious felony and misdemeanor charges. The classification of marijuana charges depends on the amount of drug involved and intent of the possessor. After a certain amount, drug possession charges could be increased to drug trafficking charges. Penalties for marijuana charges range anywhere from probation to a lengthy prison sentence.

If you were stopped by police in your car, my investigation can determine whether the police had a valid legal reason to stop you or probable cause to search your vehicle. If not, the drug evidence can be suppressed. Without this evidence, your drug charges may be dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence.

I will investigate the specific circumstances of your charges. Perhaps you were in possession of marijuana for medical reasons. Maybe illegal search and seizure is an issue. Whatever the specific circumstances of your case, I will apply my experience and knowledge to seeking the best possible results.
