Orland Park Search and Seizure Attorney

Lawyer Helping Defendants Understand Their Rights Under Search & Seizure Laws

When you are facing criminal charges, it is important to protect your rights, including the right under the Fourth Amendment to be free from unlawful search and seizure. The laws of both the United States and the State of Illinois state that evidence that was obtained illegally cannot be used against you in a criminal prosecution. Whether any evidence was obtained illegally will be determined by a judge at a hearing requested by your attorney. If the judge rules that the evidence was obtained illegally or in violation of existing law, the evidence will be "suppressed" and cannot be used.

In many cases, the suppression of evidence will result in the charges against you being completely dismissed. It takes an experienced criminal defense attorney to find and recognize issues regarding illegally obtained evidence and to present the evidence and arguments to the judge to obtain a ruling that the evidence will be suppressed. At Issa Law, LLC, our experienced Orland Park criminal attorney, Khaled Issa, has over 10 years of experience in search and seizure law. We can help you take steps to protect your rights and ensure that violations of the law during the investigation of a case will be addressed correctly. Attorney Issa will do everything he can to help you avoid a conviction while protecting your rights.

Addressing Illegal Search and Seizure

Attorney Khaled Issa has successfully obtained dismissals of serious charges against his clients based upon search and seizure hearings. As an example, attorney Issa has:

• Had a search warrant suppressed, resulting in the dismissal of drug and gun charges.
• Had evidence of the discovery of a gun suppressed in a gun case.
• Had all field sobriety tests and a breath alcohol test suppressed in a DUI case.
• Had an alleged confession of his client thrown out, resulting in the dismissal of charges.

If a police officer or a state or federal law enforcement official searches your home, your vehicle, your property, or your body without a valid search warrant or without probable cause, any evidence they seize cannot be used against you in court. If you have been arrested after a law enforcement official conducted a search and seizure of your vehicle, home, body, or property, it is important to contact an experienced Orland Park criminal defense attorney who has the experience, knowledge, and ability to fight for you. We will meticulously review every aspect of your case to determine if any search and seizure issues can be brought before the judge. We can address issues related to consent to search or Miranda warnings, ensuring that any violations of your rights will be raised correctly during your case. We will work to have the charges against you dismissed, and if necessary, we can provide representation during a trial to ensure that your rights will be protected.
