A search warrant for your household or other property in Norton Shores, Michigan, permits police to enter, search through, and confiscate anything that they assume to be evidence. The police don’t typically give forewarnings about serving search warrants. So, most times, the people being served are caught by surprise. If you’re in this situation, it’s essential to have one of our committed, practiced legal representatives in your corner.
You don’t have to be concerned about what to say or not, or what to do or not do if the police are outside with an active search warrant. Don’t get involved with police business. Allow the officers to do their duty, while you call your lawyer here at our Norton Shores law firm. Attorney Moore is a former assistant prosecutor, and he’s always ready to shield your rights, in and out of court.
