Criminal Defense Attorneys for Marijuana Grow Houses
U.S. Marijuana Cultivation and Drug Manufacturing Charges
In Florida and throughout the southern United States, there have been an increasing number of arrests of individuals cultivating marijuana in their own homes or on their property. Marijuana grow houses have been targeted by both federal and state law enforcement agencies, sometimes working independently or sometimes working together as a task force.
This phenomenon has come about as a result of technology that has increased the potency of home-grown marijuana as well as the value of the product. Since a typical grow room can yield 25 to 30 pounds of marijuana every three or four months, the manufacturer can realize significant profits.
The Miami law firm of Stephen J. Golembe & Associates concentrates its efforts on cases that involve violations of the controlled substance laws, with a specific emphasis on drug manufacturing and cultivation cases in Florida, Georgia, California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and nationwide.

The initial cost of setting up a grow room is relatively small compared to manufacturing or purchasing and selling quantities of more dangerous controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines. More important, the penalties for manufacturing, growing and possessing quantities of marijuana are much less severe than the penalties for more dangerous illegal drugs.
This is not to say that state and federal law enforcement agencies do not take these cases seriously.

Marijuana Grow House Case Information
We have learned from our involvement in these cases that the circumstances of the arrests are similar. The issues presented by these cases and the defense strategies that work are well known to this law firm. Possession in excess of 100 plants if prosecuted in federal court requires a five-year minimum mandatory sentence and possession of over 25 pounds requires a three-year mandatory sentence in the Florida state courts.
Most other states pattern their criminal penalties after the federal system. Consent to search, search warrants, knowledge of the property owner and the weight of the marijuana are some of the key issues. Stephen J. Golembe and Associates has been successful in defending against these charges. In the event that we cannot secure dismissal or acquittal, we have been consistently successful in obtaining sentences shorter than the minimum mandated by law.
