Denver, Colorado, Marijuana Possession Defense Attorney
Though it may be referred to by many names, such as pot, grass and weed, possession of marijuana is a crime that carries a range of punishments and consequences. If you have been charged with marijuana possession, it is important that you get in touch with an experienced criminal defense attorney to fully understand your rights and ensure that they are protected.
I am attorney Christopher T. Braddock and I have been representing the interests of individuals facing criminal charges for over 15 years. My experience working in the public defender's office allows me to anticipate how the prosecution may proceed with the case against you if you are charged with marijuana possession. I can then explain your options and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the entirety of the case.
Depending on the amount of the drug that you are allegedly in possession of, the presence of paraphernalia and the intended use of the drug (whether for sale or recreational use), marijuana possession may be considered a felony or misdemeanor. However, it is critical that individuals understand the seriousness of a marijuana possession charge.
- If convicted for marijuana possession, the outcome may stay on your criminal record forever.
- A conviction may affect your ability to get a job, obtain a mortgage and hinder any family law issues (such as custody) that may be pending. Essentially, it can cause you to lose many opportunities throughout your life and have a drastic effect on your future.
- Some convictions may lead to a fine and probation; others may lead to extended jail or prison sentences.
Search and Seizure Issues
I am thorough in my investigation of the circumstances surrounding your marijuana possession arrest. Through careful scrutiny of the situation, I can determine if there have been any violations of the search and seizure laws that govern the ways in which law enforcement searches you and your vehicle for possible drug possession. If a violation is discovered, this fact is used as one basis to argue for the dismissal of the charges pending against you.
