Possession of less than 1 ounce:

• Possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana is classified as a Class 2 petty offense. As such it does not carry the possible penalty of jail time. However, it is still a serious offense that can have unintended and hidden consequences. A conviction for possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana can be grounds for termination from your employment, can prevent you from obtaining school or other government loans, and can disqualify you from obtaining government employment. Before pleading guilty to any offense speak to an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced. Call us today for an appointment.

Possession of 1-8 ounces:

• A first offense for possession of 1-8 ounces of marijuana is classified as a class 1 misdemeanor in Colorado. The penalties for this offense include a possible jail term of 6 – 18 months as well as a maximum fine of $5000. A second or subsequent offense for possession of 1-8 ounces commits a class 5 felony and carries the possibility of 1 – 3 years in prison and a possible fine of $1000 - $100,000. Convictions for this offense have far-reaching consequences in almost all aspects of a defendant’s personal and professional life. No individual charged with this offense should attempt to settle their case without an experienced, competent attorney to guide them through the process. At Hebets & McCallin, we have handles these cases as prosecutors and as defense attorneys, at the misdemeanor as well as the felony level, and we have helped our clients obtain fantastic pre-trial results as well as trial wins. Contact us today to speak to one of our attorneys at no obligation.

Felony MJ possession:

• Felony marijuana possession may be charged as either a class 5 or class 4 felony depending on the amount as well as upon the defendant’s prior criminal history. The consequences for this offense include a very real possibility of a prison sentence in the possible range of 1 – 6 years. Although many in the community view marijuana possession as a victimless crime, this view is not shared by Colorado district attorneys. If you are charged with felony possession you should immediately consult with an experienced attorney who has handled these and similar cases. Call us today to set up a free initial consultation with one of our seasoned attorneys.

Marijuana cultivation or distribution:

• Colorado Statutes classify offenses involving marijuana cultivation or distribution as class 4 or 3 felonies depending on the defendant’s criminal history. These crimes carry the possibility of 2 – 12 years in prison, a very large fine, possible restrictions of a defendant’s freedom of movement, as well as a multitude of other repercussions. These types of cases are some of the highest priority cases that come across a district attorney’s desk, and hours of time and manpower are devoted to building cases against these defendants. A thorough, experienced defense attorney is essential to mount a successful defense in these types of cases. At Hebets & McCallin our lawyers have years of experience handling these cases and have a proven track record of success. We will fight for your rights and get the best possible result from your charges. Call us today to schedule an initial consultation.
