Search & Seizure

Did Search & Seizure Occur During Your Central Indiana Arrest?

Illegal Search & Seizure

Multiple searches of a home without benefit of second or third warrants, Deceptive informants and Police confiscation of weapons, motor vehicles and money are all obvious signs of search and seizure.

Many others, however, are not as easy to notice. If you have been arrested for a drug possession offense, Internet crime, theft, burglary or robbery, we work to protect your rights against these kinds of unwarranted law enforcement intrusions.

When a police officer thinks that he or she can return to a searched home and search it again and again, without a warrant, that police officer is wrong. Your property is yours. We will look carefully for discrepancies like these. Police misconduct should be described as exactly what it is.

If you suspect that your Fourth Amendment rights were violated, contact us right away. Call our lawyers' toll-free number from wherever you are in Indiana 317-644-0130.

A police warrant that contains false, misleading or incomplete information is invalid. If those conditions exist, we will make sure the court knows it and work to see that any evidence obtained as a result is excluded. A warrant could also be invalid because it was generated by false police testimony.

Whether you are at home, in a hospital or in jail, we can come to you for your free consultation.

If you have been arrested and victimized by illegal search and seizure, contact an assertive criminal defense attorney who will fight for you.
