Drug Manufacturing Charges

Miami Drug Manufacturing Defense Attorney

You can be charged with drug manufacturing if you make or process methamphetamines or cocaine, or if you grow or cultivate marijuana. If you have been charged with drug manufacturing, you need a lawyer's advice as soon as possible. Drug manufacturing involves a higher penalty than possessing or selling drugs.

For more than 30 years, Bruce Alter has specialized in representing people accused of Drug Manufacturing or Cultivation in South Florida and throughout the United States. He is experienced in developing creative defense strategies in Drug Manufacturing cases.

In cases involving the manufacturing of methamphetamines, hallucinogens or other drugs the government must prove that a person actually produced the drugs. Merely being in possession of the drugs in your home is not enough. Also there are often innocent explanations for possession of ordinary household goods which the police might claim were used for illegal drug manufacturing.

In cases involving the cultivation of marijuana, the penalties are determined by the weight of the plants. While the police are allowed to weigh the entire plant including roots, they often don't shake off the dirt or dry out the plants. This can result in an exaggerated weight and higher penalties. A thorough attorney must make certain that the plants are reweighed by an independent expert.

Many drug manufacturing cases can be won on search and seizure issues. If the police did not have a proper warrant to search your house or property, the drug evidence and any items taken from your home can be suppressed, which often results in the dismissal of charges against you.
