San Bernardino Illegal Search and Seizure Attorneys
California Search Warrant Lawyer
There are many aspects to a criminal case that must be examined in the course of structuring a defense. At the San Bernardino law firm of Milligan, Beswick, Levine & Knox LLP, we are skilled criminal defense lawyers who are thorough in our investigation of clients' cases. One aspect of this investigation includes the review of any violations of our clients' civil and constitutional rights.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution establishes limitations on the power that police and law enforcement have to make arrests, search individuals, search their property and seize any objects or illegal items that are found. This is the basis for search and seizure law. We at Milligan, Beswick, Levine & Knox LLP believe strongly that these rights must be upheld and aggressively defend clients whose rights have been violated by an illegal search and seizure.
Searches are permitted in situations that are considered reasonable, that is, if police believe they can find evidence that a crime was committed or a search warrant was issued by a judge. Certain circumstances may allow a search and seizure without a warrant.
It is possible to argue against the basis for the search warrant being issued. Our firm explores every possible violation of your rights and police procedure when preparing your case.
Traffic Stops
In addition to examining cases involving illegal search and seizures, we also review the basis for a traffic stop in a DUI or other vehicle-related case. Police must have reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle, which includes observing you breaking a traffic law or unusual behavior. If a traffic stop is deemed illegal or unfounded, it may be possible to obtain a dismissal of the charges against you due to violations of police procedures and your civil rights.
