Defense Lawyer Saves Client from Three Year Mandatory Prison Sentence for Operating a Miami Marijuana Grow House

March 23, 2016

DMT represented a client arrested for marijuana trafficking and cultivation by operating a grow house in Hialeah Gardens. Upon the execution of a search warrant, detectives discovered in excess of 100 plants with a weight that subjected our client to a 3 year minimum mandatory sentence. As a result of a potentially defective search warrant, our defense attorneys argued that the judge could have suppressed the marijuana plants confiscated by the detectives. As a result, the State Attorney's Office waived the mandatory prison sentence and our client avoided prison and served a short term of probation.
