Criminal Defense Attorneys Duluth

Question: Can you be charged with something if the police did not check you?

Answer: I assume the question is: can you be charged with contraband (e.g. drugs, stolen cell phone), if the police failed to check you and subsequently found the items in the rear of the patrol vehicle, or on the side of the roadway where you were last standing. The answer is yes. They can charge you if they did a poor search. Whether the charges will stick is a function of the attorney that you retain.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
