It is commonly known that Missouri is home to more meth labs than any other state in the country. As a result, legislators continue to push for tougher laws for possessing, selling, and manufacturing methamphetamine while prosecutors vigorously work towards securing a conviction.
Meth charges in Missouri can have devastating impact on your future and your freedom. Whether you were charged with simple possession, manufacturing, or possession with the intent to distribute, prison time is very real possibility. Often, investigators in Missouri will work toward bringing down an entire meth lab and all those individuals connected to that lab. Accordingly, it is possible that a person with a relatively minor role in a meth lab will be charged with the same crime as the ringleader of the meth lab. This is commonly known as a conspiracy. A conspiracy is where a group of individuals all work together towards a goal that is deemed to be a crime.
Whether you were running a meth lab, a cook, a lookout, or someone who purchased materials for others, it is vital that you have an experienced and aggressive Missouri methamphetamine lawyer in your corner from the start of your case. Our lawyers can determine what the best course of action to take in your particular case and help mitigate or defeat the charges pending against you.
