If you are at your home in Las Vegas and the police show up with a search warrant, you need to know how to respond in a way that protects your rights and does not make the situation worse.
As a preliminary matter, if you have been served with a search warrant, or you know one has been issued, you should contact a Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer immediately.
Whether anything the police find during their search can be used against you as evidence at trial hinges to a large degree on whether the warrant was properly issued and whether the search itself was conducted in compliance with the warrant, the law, and your constitutional rights. Your lawyer can challenge the admissibility of any evidence improperly obtained during the search.
