Mike Brandt represented a client who was charged with felony Drug Possession for possessing cocaine. Mike’s client was accused of possessing cocaine after an undercover narcotics officer saw the client engage in a suspicious transaction outside a bar that was noted for drug activity.
In preparing the case, Mike brought a motion to suppress the evidence based upon an illegal seizure by the police. Mike conducted a contested hearing where he challenged whether or not the police possessed a reasonable articulable suspicion to accost his client. After the hearing, the Judge ruled that the police did not possess a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and ruled that all the evidence recovered from Mike’s client would be suppressed. Because of this, the State dismissed the charges against Mike’s client.
This type of result is a culmination of preparation, knowledge, and research that Brandt Kettwick Defense brings to all of its cases.
