As the first state to legalize marijuana, Colorado understandably has a reputation for being drug-friendly. But its laws with respect to "hard" drugs tell a different story. For example, if you have a firearm plus any felony amount of a controlled substance you can be charged with a Level 1 Drug Felony that includes a 12-year mandatory minimum prison sentence.

However, drug crimes can be successfully defended. A skilled lawyer can potentially raise reasonable doubt as to whether the Defendant knowingly possessed the drug, or possibly get the evidence suppressed by showing that the police acted unlawfully. And in circumstances where the case against the Defendant is strong, a good lawyer will go a long way in negotiating a favorable resolution.
