Drug manufacturing is one of the most aggressively prosecuted drug charges in Massachusetts. If you are facing these accusations, the Commonwealth is not looking to offer leniency; they want a conviction. Prosecutors will likely claim you are part of a larger operation or attempt to stack charges to maximize your sentence. You need a lawyer who does not blink when things get intense. A Lowell drug manufacturing lawyer from Erkan & Sullivan, P.C. will confront the state’s case head-on and dismantle it with precision. We have handled enough of these charges to know exactly how they are built, and how to pull them apart. Our lawyers bring over 42 years of criminal defense experience into every hearing, motion, and trial. When you are charged with manufacturing drugs, you are not just looking at jail time—your future is at stake. Our drug defense attorneys will fight relentlessly to protect it.
The state defines “manufacturing” broadly—this is not limited to a lab. Any activity involved in producing a controlled substance, including preparation, packaging, or chemical synthesis, can lead to a felony charge. Even simply possessing precursor chemicals or equipment may be enough to spark a criminal case if law enforcement believes you had the intent to manufacture drugs. Controlled substances involved in these cases often include:
Penalties depend on the substance and the amount. Manufacturing Class A drugs like heroin can carry mandatory minimums starting at three and one-half years in state prison—and that is for a first offense. Repeat offenses? You are facing serious prison time. With the prosecution typically pushing for maximum penalties, you can expect them to fight hard. But do not worry—our drug manufacturing lawyers know the legal system in Lowell inside out and fight harder.
Massachusetts law enforcement is under constant pressure to show results in the war on drugs. That often leads to rushed investigations, sloppy search warrants, and overcharged cases. Our Lowell drug production defense lawyers scrutinize every step of the investigation—from how they got the warrant to how they handled evidence. We know how to expose constitutional violations and challenge unreliable lab results. We also bring in expert witnesses to attack the state’s theory of intent. Just because chemicals or tools were present does not mean there was active manufacturing. Our legal team can argue that the prosecution has not met its burden of proof, and in felony drug cases, that argument matters. We are not here to cut deals. We are here to win.
Facing manufacturing charges? You already know what is at stake—your freedom, career, and family. You deserve a Lowell lawyer who knows how to tear into a drug manufacturing case. We do not back down. We do not take shortcuts. And we certainly do not fold when prosecutors apply pressure. Call Erkan & Sullivan, P.C. now to get real representation. We will tell you what you are facing, what your options are, and what we plan to do about it. There is too much on the line to settle for anything less.
