Miami Drug Manufacturing Attorney

Understanding Drug Manufacturing Laws in Florida

In Florida, manufacturing controlled substances is typically a felony offense, depending on the type and amount of drug involved. The primary concerns taken into account when prosecuting this drug crime are the classification of the controlled substance, the amount, and where the offense occurred.

If a drug crime occurs within 1,000 feet of a school or church, the penalties will be enhanced, with the possibility of a minimum prison term of three years.

Effective Defense Strategies for Drug Manufacturing Charges

Challenging the Legality of Search and Seizure:
Law enforcement must adhere to strict protocols when conducting searches. If these procedures are violated and evidence is gathered unlawfully, your attorney may be able to argue for that evidence to be excluded, potentially weakening the prosecution's case significantly.

Proving Lack of Intent:
To secure a conviction, the prosecution must establish that there was intent to manufacture the controlled substance. If it can be demonstrated that the defendant did not intend to produce the drug, this defense could be used effectively.

Addressing Constructive Possession:
If the substances or equipment were discovered in a shared location, it might be argued that the defendant did not have control over the area and therefore cannot be held accountable for the manufacturing activities.

Defense of Entrapment:
In situations where law enforcement may have induced or pressured someone into committing an act they otherwise wouldn’t have, entrapment could serve as a strong defense.

Long-Term Consequences of Drug Manufacturing Convictions

Impact on Career Opportunities:
A conviction for drug manufacturing can severely impact one’s ability to secure employment, especially in industries that require a clean criminal record. It’s crucial to recognize how a felony conviction might hinder future job prospects.

Repercussions for Professional Licenses:
Professionals like doctors, nurses, and lawyers may face the suspension or revocation of their licenses following a drug manufacturing conviction. It is essential to defend against these charges to protect one’s professional standing.

Civil Rights Implications:
Felony convictions often lead to the loss of certain civil rights, including the right to vote, possess firearms, or run for public office. A robust defense can help in safeguarding these rights.
