Drug Charges

Drug Charges

Colorado Springs Defense on Drug Possession, Manufacturing, Sale, Trafficking

Drug crimes are among the most serious criminal charges a typical person will face. Many otherwise law-abiding people use some drug recreationally. Many young people become involved with drugs at some point in their young life and later on stop using altogether.

Unfortunately, if you are picked up on a drug charge, whether that charge is distribution or simple drug possession, you could be facing serious consequences. A drug crime conviction can affect your life for years to come. You can have great difficulty finding a job, getting housing, even getting financial aid to go to college!

The criminal defense attorneys at the Liberty Law Center have been defending people on felony, misdemeanor, and, even, petty offense drug charges for more than 25 years. We defend against any charge or any type of drug: meth, cocaine, crack, ecstasy, marijuana, even prescription drugs.

If you are charged with a drug offense….

Drug cases are complicated and Colorado has special drug offender laws that can lead to mandatory sentences and prison time in some cases. If convicted on certain drug offenses you may lose your driver's license for a specified period of time.

Also, drug cases can involve the seizure of private property. YES, the police may take your car, money they found on you, things in your home, whatever they think was involved in the crime or bought with drug money.

Alternatives to Sentencing

Some jurisdictions, such as Colorado Springs, have a drug court. In other locations, drug cases go to the main criminal court. People charged with simple drug possession of small amounts of drugs may be sentenced to a Drug Court or diversion program, which will require a drug evaluation, drug treatment and random drug testing, and frequent court appearances. These programs stress rehabilitation and if you can participate in diversion you can avoid having a drug conviction on your record.
