Illegal Search and Seizure

Successful prosecutions in our court system rest on evidence and testimony obtained mainly from the police officers who were there at the scene of the crime.  However, that evidence is often obtained in ways that go against your constitutional rights.  These illegal searches and seizures are, unfortunately, a normal occurrence in law enforcement.  Did the officer have “just cause” to pull the car over?  Did they have an appropriate warrant to search the house?  Were the defendants read their rights in the appropriate way before a seeming confession was pulled out of them? 

As a good citizen, Philip Averbuck, P.A., supports the legitimate work of our boys in blue, but he knows that they do not have the right to use evidence and testimony that was obtained outside the bounds of constitutional law.  Therefore, he uses the legal tool of the “motion to suppress evidence” to keep the police force within its legal boundaries and protect his clients from unlawfully obtained evidence.

Motions to suppress are one of the checks and balances that keep our legal system as fair as possible, but many attorneys don’t make the effort to use them.  Averbuck, though, scours the police reports and other documents for any abuses or illegal searches and seizures—and he does this for every case he takes on.  When the only evidence against the defendant was obtained illegally, Averbuck has been able to get entire cases dismissed, or the charges substantially reduced.  Keeping the system fair through attention to detail has been a hallmark of Averbuck’s throughout his legal career, and he will use every available legal tool to fight for his clients’ success.

If you want an attorney who will go through the evidence with a fine-tooth comb, and who will challenge the prosecutor’s right to use illegally obtained evidence and testimony, then Philip Averbuck is your man in Polk County.  Call now to schedule a free consultation at (863) 533-9000 or (863) 512-1602.
