The fact is that in many cases, if we are able to establish that a criminal prosecution is based on evidence obtained in an illegal search or wrongful arrest, there is a very good chance that the charges will be dropped immediately. We will work hard to hold police officers and prosecutors responsible for their mistakes and bad acts, including:
- Error or misconduct while obtaining or executing a search warrant
- Warrantless searches, invasion of privacy and unlawful search and seizure
- Lack of probable cause to issue a search warrant or execute a search
- Police brutality and police misconduct
- Defendant or witness statements made under duress
- Any violation of local, state or federal law, police and evidence procedures or your constitutional rights
If you are under investigation in connection with a criminal offense, there is a chance you may be arrested or called in for questioning. If this happens, remember these things:
- DO NOT waive your Miranda rights
- DO NOT consent to searches without a proper search warrant
- DO NOT allow police officers or investigators to convince you to make incriminating statements or give evidence
- DO call an experienced criminal defense attorney the moment you suspect you are the target of a criminal investigation
