• Law enforcement can enter any part of the premises that is open to the public. In a doctor鈥檚 office or clinic, this area would typically be the waiting room. Unless law enforcement has a search warrant, or an exception to the warrant requirement applies (for example, if you or a member of your staff give consent), they cannot lawfully enter any place that is not public.听

Though law enforcement might enter anyway, even if you refuse to provide consent, objecting before or during any entry or search can help to preserve your rights in later legal proceedings.听

• You do not, however, have to assist with the search. For example, you do not have to tell or show the officers where anything is located or open any locked areas or cabinets. You still have a right not to say anything that could be used against you in a criminal case 鈥� even if there is a valid search warrant.听

• If you receive a subpoena, you should contact your lawyer right away. Although the subpoena may direct you to either turn over documents or appear in court or before a grand jury to testify, your attorney may be able to quash the subpoena or limit its scope.听
• Even if you are ultimately required to produce documents or testify, you may be able to assert your right against self-incrimination or assert that certain documents or answers to questions are protected as privileged. Your attorney can assert your rights, work on your behalf to protect your interests, and assure that you appropriately protect patient information.听
