Why Do You Need a Lawyer?

Drug charges can carry significant prison time, fines, and other penalties, as well as having a stigmatizing effect on those convicted. Chances are if you’re charged with a drug offense, the government has already invested substantial resources in investigating the charge, enlisting other agencies and drug enforcement specialists, and consulting with experts to build a case against you. In order to defend against these charges, you need a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney to even the playing field. Founding Partner Eric Faddis has handled thousands of criminal cases, including high-level drug trafficking cases. The attorneys at Varner Faddis Elite Legal, LLC are here to help Denver citizens fight their drug case.

Types of Drug Charges in Colorado

While Colorado has legalized recreational use of marijuana, possessing other controlled substances remains a felony. Possession of even a small amount of heroin can lead to a prison term of up to 12 months, assuming no aggravating circumstances exist.

The consequences of a drug charge will depend on the type of drug and the amount found on the defendant’s person. In general:

• A Class 4 Drug Felony, such as possession of a small amount of cocaine, is punishable by up to 12 months in prison and $100,000 in fines.
• A Class 3 Drug Felony, which includes possession with intent to distribute, is punishable by up to 4 years in prison and $500,000 in fines.
• A Class 2 Drug Felony, which includes possession with the intent to distribute more than 7 but less than 112 grams of methamphetamine, is punishable by up to 8 years in prison and $750,000 in fines.
• A Class 1 Drug Felony, which includes possession with the intent to distribute more than 125 grams of a controlled substance, is punishable by up to 32 years in prison and up to $1,000,000 in fines.
• Possession of a substance with any amount of a Schedule III, IV, or V drug is a Class 1 drug misdemeanor, punishable by up to 18 months in jail and up to $5,000 in fines.

Even possession of a small amount of illegal substances can lead to serious and life-altering consequences. Even misdemeanor offenses can lead to jail time and significant fines. It’s important for those standing accused of drug-related offenses to understand the implications and obtain a skilled and experienced criminal lawyer to represent them.
