In most cases, the police cannot search your home, vehicle, business, or person without a search warrant signed by a judge. These search warrants are commonplace in criminal investigations, and you are required to comply with them when they are issued by a judge. 

If you have been served with a search warrant, it is vital that you seek out legal counsel right away. Your attorney could help you understand your rights and obligations under the warrant. They might also be able to help you develop a trial strategy if the police overstepped their legal bounds during the search. 

Portage search warrant lawyer David G. Moore has a long history of reviewing searches to determine if they are legal. If the police went beyond the scope of the warrant, our firm might be able to help you have evidence in your case excluded from trial.
