Solano County Search and Seizure Attorneys

Criminal Defense Lawyers in Fairfield, California

Under the United States Constitution, you are protected against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment protects your property and person from unreasonable searches conducted by law enforcement and applies to your person, business, home, vehicle and other property. So what happens when law enforcement violates your Fourth Amendment rights? Evidence or even a confession obtained from that illegal search and seizure cannot be used as direct evidence against you in court.

At Maas Law Offices, our Fairfield criminal defense attorneys represent clients in criminal cases involving unreasonable or illegal search and seizures. Because of our extensive experience in this area, we are able to work to have evidence suppressed and charges dismissed by proving that law enforcement conducted an unreasonable search and seizure. We represent clients throughout Solano County and Contra Costa County from our law offices in Fairfield, California. In defending our clients’ rights and fighting to protect their freedom, we are able to provide the most effective legal representation.

What is an Unreasonable Search and Seizure?

What classifies as an illegal or unreasonable search and seizure will vary depending upon the particular circumstances of the case as well as the search itself. Generally speaking, law enforcement must have a valid warrant to conduct a search of someone’s property. However, there are other circumstances where law enforcement may be allowed to conduct a search and seizure in the absence of a search warrant or arrest warrant. If the law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that the individual has committed or is committing a crime, this may justify a search and seizure. However, this will vary depending upon the particular case.

An experienced defense lawyer should be extremely familiar with search and seizure laws and how these apply to criminal cases in your area.
