Search & Seizure: San Jose Drug Crimes

Drug Crime Attorney Serving San Jose

The manner in which a search and seizure is performed by the San Jose Police is an important factor to consider in any drug crime case. In order to conduct a lawful search of your property and seize evidence, law enforcement must have probable cause. This is established by applying for a search warrant from a judge or may be established if law enforcement has more than a simple suspicion that you have committed a crime. If a search is conducted without probable cause, this may mean that any and all drug evidence obtained in the illegal search will be prohibited from being used as direct evidence against the defendant.

Determining the lawfulness of a search and seizure can be difficult. It requires a thorough understanding not only of one's Fourth Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution but also knowledge of case law and Supreme Court rulings on the subject. As an experienced attorney with almost four decades of experience in this field, San Jose drug crime lawyer Thomas F. Mueller has the understanding of search and seizure law needed to properly handle your case. Whether you have been accused of drug possession or a more serious crime such as trafficking, manufacturing or distribution, our law firm can provide you with the representation you need.

Should we discover that you were the victim of an unreasonable search and seizure in accordance with a San Diego drug crime charge, we may be able to file a Motion to Suppress evidence. If this motion is successful, it will mean that all the evidence obtained in the illegal search will not be able to be used against you by the prosecuting attorney.
