Defenses for Drug Manufacturing Ready to Work for YOU

DEFENSES FOR DRUG MANUFACTURING CHARGES in Orange County

Being accused of any drug crime can result in serious consequences including jail or prison time, probation and fines. While possession and sale of drugs could land you in a lot of legal hot water, manufacturing drugs is an even more serious crime that is not taken lightly by the authorities. If you have been charged with manufacturing drugs in Orange County, it is important that you have an extremely skilled and experienced drug crime defense attorney who will devise a solid defense strategy to help get the charges reduced or obtain an acquittal in your case.

What the Law States

Under the Health & Safety Code Section 11379.6, manufacturing, producing, processing or compounding any type of controlled substance is illegal. Some common examples of drug manufacturing including processing marijuana or mixing chemicals that are used to make other controlled substances such as methamphetamine. The crime of manufacturing drugs is almost always charged as a felony crime. Penalties for manufacturing drugs include prison time, significant fines and penalties and probation.

If the location where the drugs are being manufactured is close to schools or playgrounds or near children, or if someone was injured or killed during the drug manufacturing process, the defendant could be looking at additional jail time. The penalties for manufacturing drugs and other controlled substances could include up to seven years in county jail and up to $50,000 in fines.

Defendants may also be looking at additional jail or prison time if they have prior drug-related convictions; if they have been convicted of manufacturing a large amount controlled substances containing GHC, PCP or amphetamines; if they have engaged in some activity that results in the commission of other related offenses; or if the drug manufacturing process has resulted in serious injury or death to other individuals.

Potential Legal Defenses

There are a number of legal defenses that an experienced Orange County drug manufacturing lawyer can present in your case. Here are a few of those potential defenses:

The defendant had no knowledge of the drug manufacturing activities. Drug laboratories are often concealed and clandestine activities that may be located in a number of places including garages. Landlords or property owners, for example, may have little or no idea of what is going on in their properties. A skilled drug crime defense lawyer can fight for the charges to be dismissed if you did not know anything about the drug manufacturing process in connection with which you were charged.
When law enforcement officials violate search and seizure laws during your arrest, the court is required to exclude any such evidence, which was illegally secured during the investigation. This means that the charges against you must be dismissed. An example of illegal search includes instances where police enter the property without probable cause or a search warrant.
Other defenses may include cases where defendants are falsely accused. This could happen in a case of mistaken identity or when someone else sets you up out of anger or in an attempted to take revenge. Sometimes, eyewitnesses may identify the wrong person or unreliable informants may provide inaccurate information to the police.

"Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value"
Attorney Randy is such a great person, he responds really fast and honestly boosts your confidence and morale. I just felt 10x better after one phone call. I appreciate your time Attorney Collins.

"Case Dismissed"
Case dismissed! I got my girlfriend an attorney to help clear up a warrant she had as well as an outstanding case. The warrant was three years old and she skipped out on court. Randy got case dismissed and warrant is now gone. Only took him one week to accomplish this! Thanks for your help Randy Collins!

"It Was a Welcome and Uplifting Experience"
I called to inquire about a case I was facing, this was one of the many attorneys I was speaking with during a free consult about my next steps. The future was looking more and more alarming as the implications of what I was facing were becoming clear. Halfway through explaining my situation, he interrupted me and asked some basic information, put me on hold for one second and came back telling me he had called around and found out that my case was not proceeding. Four other attorneys I had spoken to did not do this, and in fact had used scare tactics and worst case scenarios to try and hard sell me into signing a retainer. (unfortunately, the evening before I HAD with another attorney signed a retainer but that's for another review) Although I did not need to retain the services of this office, I believe that single action speaks worlds about the integrity, helpfulness, intelligence and capabilities of this office. In a world that is so difficult for the uninitiated, such as the legal system, it seems people are taking advantage of you at every turn. It was a welcome and uplifting experience to see the opposite of that with this law office and I am so grateful I was able to find them and know I could call them if anything were to ever happen to me later in life and know I could trust this team.

"Thank You Randy Collins"
I utilized Mr. Collins services to fight a drug case, which could have ended my career. Mr. Collins was not only very knowledgeable regarding my rights, but also handled my case with the most professionalism that I have yet to experience. His staff was also very friendly and efficient when having any doubts or concerns. At the end my drug case was dropped, I was able to continue my career.

"Always Helped Me Understand"
My son had gotten into some trouble, so thankfully we found Mr. Collins and his paralegal Chris. Every time I called the office, Chris or Mr. Collins guided me through every step and always helped me understand. The legal system is very complicated! But with their assistance and expertise, I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my son's case.

"We Need More Lawyers Like You"
Randy before I call him a professional honest lawyer, he is a human being person and sample of pure lawful person, he won’t do business through your case, he help you before even be your lawyer, with no contract!!! Wow I have never seen a lawyer as honest as him. He left me speechless about his prediction for my case, without charging me. He tells what you need to know with no charge. He was like an angel when I needed him. I couldn’t afford even his advice, but he gave me free information when nobody did . I won’t forget your help. Dear Randy I just was watching my pictures and saw your business card, I don’t remember who introduced you to me. But just wanted to say thank you. We need more lawyers like you.

"Easy Communication and Genuine Care"
I called Randy's office essentially in a panic looking for help for my infant daughter and I in a very difficult case. He and his staff immediately consulted with me, and ultimately resolved my case in the most direct and quickest manner possible. I could not be more grateful or complimentary of how Randy handled my case, as well as the easy communication and genuine care for my well-being. I could not recommend Randy more.
