Investigating Police ProcedureMany criminal defense cases often hinge on how well the police followed proper procedures. An experienced criminal defense attorney can identify many ways how the failure of the police to follow procedure can lead to the dismissal of a defendant's case. - DUI cases often involve an error with the breath test. Sometimes these tests are faulty; other times officers fail to operate breath tests correctly.
- Drug possession cases involve search and seizure issues. If police officers search your home without probable cause or a warrant, there is the possibility of excluding the evidence against you. If police ask to search your property, always decline and request to speak with a lawyer first.
An experienced criminal defense lawyer knows how to look for these elements of your defense. Even if you believe the evidence is overwhelmingly against you, we will work to find the weaknesses in the prosecution's case and minimize the consequences if you are convicted.
