A: In California, an attorney must provide discovery and original records related to a search warrant within a reasonable time after they are received. However, there is no specific time frame set by law for this. It may depend on various factors, such as the complexity of the case, the amount of discovery material, and the attorney's workload. Generally, the attorney must provide discovery and original records to the client as soon as possible to ensure the client's right to a fair trial is not compromised. If you have concerns about the timeline for receiving these materials, it is best to discuss them directly with your attorney.
