At Dorsk Law Office, PLC, led by Attorney Chad Dorsk, we understand how critical suppression motions are in criminal defense. These motions challenge the admissibility of evidence that may have been illegally obtained, and if successful, can dramatically impact the outcome of your case.

The Power of Suppression Motions

A suppression motion argues that evidence was obtained in violation of your Fourth Amendment rights—protecting you from unreasonable searches and seizures. Attorney Dorsk’s deep knowledge of case law ensures that your rights are vigorously defended, whether it's questioning the legality of a search or challenging improperly obtained statements.

Attorney Dorsk’s experience allows him to expertly navigate the complexities of suppression motions. Whether challenging unlawful traffic stops or improper searches, we thoroughly examine your case to protect your rights at every stage.

Key Case Law Impacting Suppression Motions

Important Supreme Court rulings have shaped suppression motions. Some of the most influential cases include:

  • Mapp v. Ohio (1961): Established the exclusionary rule, which states that evidence obtained through illegal searches cannot be used in court.

  • Terry v. Ohio (1968): Set guidelines for stop-and-frisk procedures, allowing police to search based on reasonable suspicion.

  • Katz v. United States (1967): Expanded Fourth Amendment protections to include electronic surveillance.

Attorney Dorsk leverages these precedents to build strong arguments for your case, ensuring your constitutional rights are respected.
