Federal drug manufacturing charges can be filed against anyone participating in the drug production process. Drug manufacturing laws are designed to penalize the production, manufacture, or cultivation of controlled substances. Investigators must prove intent to manufacture, which may include the stockpiling of precursor chemicals and lab equipment. The DEA is responsible for investigating drug manufacturing cases and will be your initial point of content when a case is filed against you. Federal investigators have near unlimited resources at their disposal. Your drug manufacturing defense lawyer should have specific experience representing clients in drug manufacturing cases, and addressing all chemical evidence from both a legal and technical perspective.

Potential evidence federal prosecutors may use include the loading of controlled substances onto an aircraft or boat or holding a large amount of controlled substances in a warehouse. Federal convictions for importation and exportation can lead to long jail sentences, heavy fines, and the loss of professional licenses.

Using a “communications facility” such as a telephone, radio, or computer in the process of committing a crime is a separate drug offense charge. For each call, text, or email, you can be charged with a separate offense. Layering drug offenses this way allows prosecutors to seek far longer sentences. A person may also face federal charges without having committed a controlled substance violation based on their intent. Maximum federal penalties include up to four years in prison, which rises to eight years if the defendant has a previous conviction. Federal drug defense lawyers can help you fight unlawful use of a communications facility charges by bringing into question technological evidence and pinpointing mistakes in the prosecutorial process. Don’t delay your call to an experienced lawyer for a free consultation.

Medical providers filling a large number of Schedule II prescriptions face scrutiny from the federal government and must immediately contact a federal defense attorney when their business falls under federal investigation.
