When You've Been Accused of Growing or Manufacturing Drugs…
When you have been accused of growing or manufacturing drugs, it is critical that you take the charges seriously.

Accused of Trying to Cultivate Marijuana?
In recent years, more and more grow houses have been busted in Phoenix. And growers convicted of running large-scale marijuana operations face potentially severe consequences. Even small-scale growers may find their lives permanently changed.
Methamphetamine: Have the Police Busted Your Meth Lab?
Arizona places especially harsh consequences on people convicted of manufacture of methamphetamine. Under Arizona law, the possession of equipment or chemicals for the purpose to making meth carries with it special sentencing provisions.
For first offenses, the presumptive sentence is 10 years, with a minimum of five years and a maximum of 15. Second offenses carry heavier consequences — as much as 20 years with no eligibility for parole.
But having an experienced attorney can help. At Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Schoenau, we provide strong defenses that protect your constitutional rights and keep you out of jail.
When Manufacturing Meth Endangers Others
Under Arizona law, a person who manufactures methamphetamine in places where a child can be physically harmed faces severe consequences, including conviction of a class-two felony and life imprisonment without eligibility for suspension of your sentence, probation, pardon or release.
Possession of Precursor Chemicals
Arizona law also places harsh consequences on the possession of chemicals that could be used to make methamphetamine: chemicals like ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norpseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine products. Even if you were only caught with these alleged precursor chemicals, or if you are a wholesaler, manufacturer, or distributor accused of providing them unlawfully, you must take the charges seriously.
