Marijuana Possession

Denver, Colorado, Marijuana Distribution and Possession Defense Lawyers

Of all high-volume criminal charges, there is the biggest gap between the general public's perception of the penalty for marijuana possession and the actual penalty. Widespread use of marijuana can mask the fact that consequences for a conviction for marijuana criminal charges are high, both in the courts and from society.

Punishment from the justice system for marijuana possession and other charges can include:

• Jail time, fines, house arrest, community service and probation
• Suspension of your driver's license (this penalty is increasingly common)
• Seizure of property if a vehicle or home is involved in trafficking 
• Loss of custody and visitation rights

Consequences outside the justice system can include:

• Refusal of employers to hire you, or loss of your job
• Ineligibility for federal student loans, grants and other education aids
• Problems with home mortgages and other forms of credit

At the law firm of Elkus & Sisson, P.C., we are skilled at creatively and aggressively fighting against marijuana possession and other related criminal charges. We can work to prove that the fact that marijuana was found in your vehicle does not mean that you intended to sell or transport drugs. We can work to prove that owning pay-and-owe sheets or more than one cell phone does not mean you intended to sell or transport drugs. Likewise, we can work to prove that having large quantities of cash and marijuana divided into baggies does not automatically prove you intended to sell, distribute or transport drugs.

Our attorney team will fight against your full array of marijuana charges. Marijuana charges can include:

• Possession
• Possession of marijuana paraphernalia
• Cultivation
• Possession by a minor
• Sales, trafficking and distribution
