Defense Against Marijuana Cultivation in Los Angeles

We have represented many clients in Los Angeles who’ve been charged with marijuana cultivation, and know of effective defense strategies for fighting these types of charges. One of the most valuable defense strategies in a marijuana cultivation case is whether or not the police conducted a lawful search and seizure. Under federal law, it is illegal to search a person or their property without a valid search warrant or just cause. If the police violated search and seizure laws by conducting a search without a warrant, any evidence they found must be dismissed from the court. Without sufficient evidence, it’s very difficult for the prosecution to continue with their case.

When you come to our firm, you can rest assured that a knowledgeable and well-practiced Los Angeles marijuana cultivation defense attorney will thoroughly look into your charges to determine if the police violated your constitutional rights, or conducted an unlawful search and seizure. If we find any evidence that may indicate the police violated the law, we will make it known to the judge immediately, and motion to have the charges dropped.
