Denver Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

Fighting for Clients in Denver, Adams, and Broomfield Counties

Drug charges in Colorado carry serious consequences that can affect your freedom, your career, and your future. From misdemeanor possession to felony distribution or trafficking, these cases can lead to jail or prison time, steep fines, and a permanent criminal record. At DeChant Law, we understand what’s at stake and provide strong defense strategies to protect your rights.

Types of Drug Cases in Colorado

Drug crimes can involve:

• Possession of controlled substances, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription medications, or marijuana in prohibited amounts.
• Distribution or trafficking, which involves allegations of intent to sell or transport drugs.
• Manufacturing or cultivation, including growing marijuana without proper licensing.
• DUI drugs, when police claim a driver was under the influence of controlled substances.

The severity of charges often depends on the type of drug, the quantity, and whether prosecutors allege intent to sell.

Defending Against Drug Charges

Police and prosecutors must follow strict constitutional requirements when investigating drug cases. Unfortunately, searches of homes, cars, or personal property often push the limits of the Fourth Amendment. Attorney Reid DeChant carefully reviews whether law enforcement had probable cause, whether warrants were valid, and whether evidence was collected lawfully. If your rights were violated, key evidence may be excluded.

Defenses may also include lack of possession, improper testing of substances, or mistaken identity. Each case is unique, and we work to build a defense strategy designed around your circumstances.
