Drug Trafficking Attorney in Denver

Have you Been Accused of Illegally Transporting Drugs?

Drug trafficking is the crime of moving large quantities of drugs with the intent to distribute them. This is a very serious charge this is often classified as a felony. Since the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, rates of drug trafficking have increased as people attempt to transport the drug to other states where it is not readily available. Although these offenses are rarely prosecuted within Colorado as opposed to the state it was transferred to, law enforcement has been even more vigilant for telltale signs of trafficking. Likewise, prosecutors are eager to land convictions for this rapidly growing crime.

In their eagerness to reach a conviction, law enforcement can go overboard with their charges or even make faulty arrests. At the Law Office of Jill M. Jackson, we can investigate the circumstances of your arrest and the charges against you and plan a solid defense strategy. Our experienced drug trafficking lawyer in Denver fights tirelessly on behalf of her clients to secure the best possible outcome.
