Los Angeles DEA Defense Attorneys
If a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent has contacted you to say you are under investigation for participating in a criminal enterprise or for violating any drug law related to the DEA, you are at significant risk of being charged with a federal offense. The DEA works across the United States to investigate, catch, and prosecute those the DEA believes violated the law.
Note that being contacted by the DEA about a matter does not mean you are being charged. In some cases, the DEA may ask you to provide information and/or serve as a witness. Even in those circumstances, having an experienced criminal defense attorney representing you will prevent agents from catching you off guard or asking you to incriminate yourself. Having an experienced Los Angeles DEA defense attorney defend your interests and protect your reputation is urgent.

What Should a Bond Have When Dealing with the DEA?
If the DEA suspects you are engaging in criminal activity and violating federal drug laws, there are several demands that the DEA will issue in such circumstances. Notably, the DEA may want a bond posted as a condition of probation. In this regard, a bond is a financial guarantee to prove that you will return to court if your case changes (for example, if the charges are upgraded to additional offenses). You may be required to post a bond if the court orders a hearing of your case.
The bond requirement does not mean, though, that you are guilty. In this way, if you have been charged with a crime and hope to leave federal detention, you should discuss with your Los Angeles DEA defense lawyer how to bond out of custody as soon as possible.
Spodek Law Group, P.C. will make sure that a bond posted under the conditions of a DEA investigation contains all the demanded information pertaining to the charges or accusations brought by the DEA. Our Los Angeles DEA defense lawyers will ensure that when you meet with the government attorneys or with the court hearing your case, you will have the right to be present under all legality as required.
Are You a Witness or a Suspect?
Most people facing a DEA investigation may not always be aware of what their involvement in the case may be. The DEA will not disclose who may be a witness versus who may be a suspect. If DEA agents contact you, the first thing you must do is to determine the details of the case and your position in it. Any experienced Los Angeles DEA defense attorney then will proceed to secure your case in the best way possible.
Our main goal is always to build a professional relationship with agents and federal lawyers over the phone, in letters, or emails on behalf of our clients. Our attorneys will steadily build your case, rather than relying solely on ostentatious language and grandstanding. Your case will be handled efficiently and in a courteous manner by the DEA agents and in the offices of the DEA or other federal agencies.
How Likely Is It that the DEA Will Reinstate my Registration?
It is not easy to get an answer to such a question. There are several steps that need to be completed and the applicant's registration will either be approved or denied.
For instance, if the applicant's registration has been suspended in the past, the DoJ may, selectively, allow reinstatement. However, if the application registration is denied, the applicant will have to wait.
Todd Spodek and his team will try to clarify the eligibility process and how the relationship works between the DEA and the application. As applicable, Todd Spodek and his team will discuss your options with you regarding the plan for the next step.
You can easily access the appropriate form at the relevant DEA Registration section. For more information, the DEA offers online tools to help you understand the requirements.
What Are the DEA's Responsibilities?
The DEA is responsible for assessing and investigating individuals and entities (such as doctors, pharmacies, and health clinics) that may be engaged in diversion of controlled substances or involved in illegal activity involving controlled drugs such as prescription medications.
These obligations range from managing the DEA's administrative cases, through thorough investigations into criminal cases of those alleged to be acting under suspicious circumstances of engaging in activity about controlled substances in violation of federal law.
