Drug Manufacturing

Seattle-Tacoma Lawyer: Drug Manufacturing

Growing marijuana or manufacturing drugs like methamphetamine are usually prosecuted as federal crimes. Current laws on the books also allow investigators to charge someone in cases where so-called "starter" chemicals are found that are used in the manufacturing of certain drugs. Given the criminal forfeiture laws that prosecutors often use in drug cases, you could have your home and other assets seized if prosecutors find drug manufacturing materials and marijuana plants on your property.

Our lawyers, based in the Seattle-Tacoma area, have extensive experience with judges and prosecutors throughout Washington State. That experience, combined with the attorneys' knowledge of laws regarding the manufacture, cultivation, and distribution of drugs and their determination to protect the rights of our clients, gets results.

What is Involved in Meth Manufacture?

If you go through many homes and garages you will find most of the materials necessary to manufacture methamphetamine-anhydrous ammonia (found in fertilizer), ephedrine, pseudoephedrine (a common decongestant), coffee filters-Washington State law makes it possible for prosecutors to charge innocent persons with manufacture of controlled substances as a result of possession of the materials listed. Our lawyers will examine the evidence and work with prosecutors to get a drug crime charged at the proper level or dismissed altogether.
