Possession With Intent To Distribute

Possession with the Intent to Distribute is charged when the District Attorney thinks there is evidence of distribution, or sales, of drugs. A simple possession case can quickly turn into a Possession with the Intent to Distribute when the police find things like baggies, scales, or large quantities of drugs or cash. The problem is, under Colorado law, this charge also ratchets up the level of the charge and can turn what was a lower level felony into a serious crime with a real potential for prison time.

It can be a difficult crime for the government to prove, but it all depends on the strength of their evidence. The case may be one of simple possession that is being overcharged because there was some evidence of distribution, or it could be a case where the police intervened before the distribution occurred. Either way, a careful analysis of the facts and evidence is necessary to determine what the next step should be.

This includes an in depth look at the methods used by the police to obtain the evidence, including reviewing search warrants and arrest affidavits.

Finally we will work closely with you to help you decide if the case is worth going to trial or if the prosecution is making a good enough plea bargain offer to give up your trial right.
