Experienced Drug Crime Defense Representation

If law enforcement officers violate a citizen's Fourth Amendment rights to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures such as an unjustifiable stop or an improper search, this may mean that any evidence seized as a result of the illegal stop or search, i.e. drugs, contraband or weapons, will not be admissible in court against that citizen and typically causes the case to be dismissed! (Known in the law as the “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine.
