The state of Georgia defines the crime of manufacturing as processing or manufacturing illegal drugs. Common examples of manufacturing situations are meth labs, but other types of drugs like ecstasy, PCP and crack cocaine can be manufactured as well. Drugs like marijuana are produced through the growing or nurturing of particular plants and other organic materials. The law defines this as cultivation. Cultivation of illegal drugs is a criminal offense under state and federal law. The type of drug and the amount of drugs that you are found to be cultivating will determine whether you are also charged with drug trafficking. Trafficking is typically the most serious offense of all drug crimes and may be charged as a federal crime in some instances. Contact a drug crime defense lawyer right away if you are charged with drug trafficking or any other type of drug offense such as prescription fraud. Your freedom in the future depends on your ability to mount a strong defense against your charges.

Drug crime cases may be particularly difficult because the District Attorney (prosecution) may have physical evidence against you, in the form of the illegal narcotics that were found in your possession or on your property. You may have been told that they have a solid case and that you will have no opportunity of avoiding maximum penalties unless you accept a plea bargain, and in this situation you may feel that it's hopeless to try to fight your charges. It is important that you do not give up hope. With experience in this field and the resources to conduct a complete investigation into your case, an Atlanta drug crime lawyer can step in and begin working aggressively to protect your rights and interests.

Search & Seizure - Drug Crime Defense in Atlanta

Although there are many different defense strategies that your attorney may utilize when building a case for your Atlanta drug charges, an illegal search and seizure is an issue that is frequently prevalent in drug cases. When seeking out and collecting drug evidence, law enforcement must act with regard to your Fourth Amendment rights. Under the U.S. Constitution, you are protected against unreasonable search and seizures, which would be a search and seizure carried out without a valid warrant or probable cause. Atlanta police cannot simply conduct searches on a whim, trying to find people who have committed drug crimes. They must get a warrant or must have cause to perform the search.

If the drug evidence in your case was collected as the result of an unreasonable search and seizure, your lawyer may be able to use this in your favor to fight your charges and help you avoid a conviction.

This is just one example of what an attorney can do to help you in the face of drug charges in the Atlanta area. To find out more about what our law firm can do to help you, feel free to call us today. Your initial consultation is free and confidential.
