- If the police violated your Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, the charges should be dismissed.
- If drugs were found during a search pursuant to a warrant, this can be problematic and gives our experienced drug crime lawyers ammunition to get your charges reduced or dismissed.
