Search and Seizure Issues in southwest Missouri.
Search warrants must be specific in their authority, and the police are bound by the limit of a search warrant in most cases. If you receive a search warrant, we can help ensure that it is properly executed. In some instances, the police can perform searches without a search warrant; however, they typically must have just caused. If you have had incriminating evidence seized from your person or property, you should engage an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your constitutional rights against illegal searches and seizures.
