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.
Drug crimes can involve:
The severity of charges often depends on the type of drug, the quantity, and whether prosecutors allege intent to sell.
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.
Reid DeChant has represented clients facing drug charges ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. He draws on experience as both a public defender and private attorney to challenge weak evidence, negotiate reduced charges, and, when necessary, fight aggressively in court. Clients value his communication and commitment to making sure they stay informed and involved every step of the way.
Drug charges move quickly, and prosecutors begin building their case immediately. The sooner you involve a skilled defense attorney, the more options you have to protect your rights and your future.

I can’t say enough good things about Reid. From the very beginning he was the first and only person to truly care and fight for what I was going through. We went through a lot of ups and downs together and in the end my case was dismissed. He truly fought for me to the end and did everything he could to ensure a smooth process. He kept me calm and even brought in John to help. They both are extremely kind souls and are good at what they do. Highly recommend.
I’m beyond thankful for the service that DeChant law provided. Each step throughout my legal battle was dealt with great communication and in-depth information to help me better understand what I was facing. The end result was something that I had hoped for going in, but with each day and encounter/conversation that we had made it more of a possibility. And DeChant law represented me and I know I wouldn’t have gotten the results that I did without them. I felt important from beginning to end, that I mattered. That this was as important to them as it was for me. Thank you so much!!!
