Felony drug offenses are filed for anything from possession of less than a gram of most controlled substances to manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with intent to distribute illegal drugs. Depending on the weight alleged to be involved, many carry a mandatory sentence to the Department of Corrections even for first-time offenders. In addition, many judges in the Denver metropolitan area will not consider probation for distribution or manufacturing offenses, even if the defendant has a clean criminal record.
Regardless of whether you are charged with a distribution of a controlled substance offense, manufacturing/cultivation of a controlled substance offense, or a simple possession offense, judges have become harsher on all drug offenses. One charged with a drug offense needs an experienced attorney knowledgeable in attacking illegal searches and warrants as well as an advocate who can passionately and aggressively negotiate with the prosecutor and show the judge your positive qualities despite the potential involvement in criminal activity.
