Attorney Representing Individuals Charged with Drug Offenses
Illegal drug activity is a favorite target for law enforcement agents and "tough on crime" legislators. Mandatory sentencing laws have raised the stakes, and drug offenders now account for an alarmingly large percentage of our prison population. The type and quantity of drug, the purpose of the activity (manufacture, sale or use), and the criminal history of the offender generally determine the classification or seriousness of the offense, and the range of punishment.
In Colorado, some convictions for the possession or distribution of controlled substances require the imposition of a prison sentence. Even "minor" marijuana cases can result in the offender having a felony record. A conviction for any drug offense will likely have far-reaching consequences. These cases can seriously impact your driver's license, professional license, immigration status, student status, credit, insurability, employment, ability to obtain student loans, and freedom to travel.
Drug prosecutions are often fertile ground for 4 th, 5 th and 6 th Amendment constitutional challenges to police conduct and procedures. Attorney Mark Langston has extensive experience litigating these issues in the context of the following types of drug offenses:
- Possession
- Unlawful Use
- Possession with Intent to Sell or Distribute
- Sale or Distribution
- Marijuana Cultivation
- Prescription Fraud
- Manufacturing, or Possession of Chemicals for Drug Manufacturing
- Special Drug Offender/Habitual Criminal
Mark Langston also assists his clients who have substance-abuse problems to obtain professional help to overcome the underlying issues that often lead to legal trouble.
