Chicago Marijuana Grow Houses Lawyer

Experienced Defense For Marijuana Grow Houses

Increasingly, marijuana cultivation has moved from fields and forests to houses. Our depressed economy has resulted in an abundance of large, empty homes in the Chicago suburbs. Some of these homes have been converted into grow houses.

At the Law Office of Philip R. Nathe, we defend people charged with drug crimes. With more than 30 years of experience in the DuPage County criminal justice system, defense attorney Philip R. Nathe has a solid understanding of how to mount an effective defense for people charged with operating meth labs, marijuana grow houses, and other drug manufacturing operations. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

Consequences of a Marijuana Cultivation Charge

Even though marijuana has been made legal for recreational use in Illinois, and adults over the age of 21 are allowed to purchase, possess, and use a certain amount of marijuana and products containing THC, businesses that produce, distribute, and sell marijuana are closely regulated. If a person is accused of growing or manufacturing marijuana without a valid license, they may face criminal charges.

Charges in marijuana cultivation cases are based on the amount of drugs seized, including the number of marijuana plants or the weight of products that have been prepared or packaged for sale. Since grow houses can contain large quantities of growing plants and processed marijuana, you could be looking at a serious felony with substantial prison time. Since police often seek asset forfeitures in drug cases, you could also face the loss of cash, bank accounts, and your house.

To provide you with the strongest possible defense, attorney Philip R. Nathe brings an understanding of both sides of the criminal justice system. He is a former courtroom clerk, probation officer, and assistant state's attorney who now uses his skills and experience to defend the rights of criminal defendants facing drug charges.

As part of an effective defense, we will analyze your case for applicability of all programs, including:

• First offender probation
• TASC probation
• Drug court
