    Colorado Criminal Drug Crimes Criminal Defense – Drug Conspiracy Charges and Understanding Colorado Prescription Drug Crimes Laws

    by Colorado Criminal Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer – H. Michael Steinberg

    The use of the charge of “conspiracy” in Colorado Drug Crime cases is so common – if the crime is not charged – it would appear to be an omission.  In addition Colorado Prescription Fraud charges – in the wake of tens of thousands of people losing their jobs and or their health insurance – has resulted in a consequent rise in the alleged commission of prescription drug crimes.  This web page addresses both kinds of crimes.

    Drug arrests usually take place in an atmosphere of confusion, and it’s difficult for the police to pinpoint exactly who has possession of illegal substances. Law enforcement uses charges of conspiracy when they cannot clearly demonstrate who controlled or possessed illegal substances. First time, non-violent offenders charged with conspiracy can find themselves in prison for extended sentences– even when their only crime was to be in the same location as a person using or selling drugs.

    If you have been arrested for conspiracy, depending on the circumstances surrounding the arrest, you could be facing serious charges. Your first step must be contacting an experienced Colorado Criminal Drug Defense Attorney to discuss your case.

    Law enforcement agencies recognize the sweeping nature of conspiracy charges, and it is understood that conspiracy is used when they don’t have the time or resources for a thorough investigation that would more properly determine who had possession of a controlled substance at the time of an arrest. It’s a sad truth that law enforcement uses the charge of conspiracy as a short cut to achieve a goal – but with the right attorney – this is a charge that can be vigorously fought.

    Sentencing for conspiracy charges is harsh. If the person has had other offenses, especially any felony arrests, the sentences will be longer. Conspiracy is a serous criminal charge that demands the skills of an experienced Colorado  Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer –  Call 303-627-77.

    Prosecutors regularly allege the existence of drug-dealing or drug-manufacturing organizations when they encounter groups of illicit drug users and dealers in the same geographical area, such as in the same house or on the same street corner.

    If you have been named as a co-conspirator in a drug bust in Colorado contact the our law firm.

    Your case may involve illegal drugs such as heroin, methamphetamines (“meth”), cocaine or marijuana, or it may involve illegal dealing in prescription drugs such as OxyContin or oxycodone.

    The Dangers In Plea Bargaining “Co-Conspirator” Cases

    A major problem with trumped-up drug conspiracy charges is that each member of an alleged group of drug dealers can be held responsible for actions of their supposed co-conspirators. This can force some individuals into the position of entering plea bargains, whereby they give information on other “members” for the sake of saving their own skin, and often times they exaggerate other’s roles in the conspiracy or outright lie to help themselves.

    Regardless of what your position is in an alleged drug conspiracy case, it is critical for you to have experienced legal counsel on your side before you make any statements or agreements. Talk to a career criminal defense lawyer who represents clients in federal felony cases to explore your best options.

    Exposing the Facts In A Colorado Prescription Drug Case

    Did a doctor suddenly stop writing prescriptions?

    Did a pharmacy refuse to fill the medication?

    Did the accused lose his or her medical insurance?
