Possession with Intent Lawyer in Los Angeles

There are a variety of types of evidence that could be used against you beyond just the possession of the controlled substance. This could include scales, baggies, client lists or other items that law enforcement considers to be a type of evidence that you intended to distribute drugs. Cases in which a search was conducted at your home, office or other area must have been conducted legally. No law enforcement has the right to search without "cause" to do so. A search warrant is usually necessary, but in some cases not; however the charge came about, it may be possible that the defense attorney from the Law Offices of Robert Schwartz can file a motion to suppress evidence if any of your constitutional rights were violated in the procedure. This is not as uncommon as you may think, as law enforcement can become overzealous and bypass the necessary procedures when they are hungry for an arrest.
