Search & Seizure Rights in Bakersfield
Skilled Bakersfield Criminal Defense Attorney
It is common during criminal arrests to have your body, vehicle, or home searched by a police officer. In many criminal investigations, the police will conduct searches and seizures without a warrant. Searches conducted without a warrant a per se unreasonable under the 4th Amendment and it is up to the prosecution to justify a warrantless search. Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Thompson are experienced in litigating 4th Amendment search and seizure issues that have resulted in evidence and arrests being declared unlawful. When a court makes such an order, the prosecution’s case is dead in the water and the result is a dismissal.
Police officers are not supposed to rely on a “hunch” and the United States Supreme Court has stated this time and again. In real life, though, the cops are always relying on a “hunch” or their gut instincts. If a police officer is confronted with a situation in which he or she must choose between following a “hunch”, or, not violating an individual’s constitutional rights, the cop is going to choose his or her gut instincts 9 times out of 10. Their "hunch" maybe their probable cause and the reason you are under arrest. You need a Bakersfield defense attorney who is trained to uphold your constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
If you are facing criminal charges, schedule an evaluation with a search and seizure lawyer in Bakersfield.

Needed a lawyer for our juvenile son for a felony assault case. Public defender was not very helpful and told us that at best our son would be on a very intensive probation for years if not sentenced to a camp. Rob Singh took our case and basically got everything resolved outside of court with the prosecutor within 2 weeks. Alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety by getting our son on a very minimal probation for 6 months and then records completely sealed. Highly recommended and would definitely hire this firm again.- Erik S.

Jared and his staff, not exaggerating were on top of it all. If I called to talk to the girls in the front they handled everything right away, Jared reputation for being THE BEST matched him perfect. We had issues with the anger management classes and the staff really cared and helped us. Jared helped my son who was facing some serious charges but he genuinely cared about the whole truth and we got blessed tremendously! we are forever grateful and truly couldnt have imagined the outcome had we NOT hired him! Loved them thank you so much sincerely!

Choose a Proven Firm in 4th Amendment Protection
The law in this area is in a state of constant change. Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Thompson take great pride in staying current on the state of the law and applying the best strategies and arguments in attacking the government’s conduct. A successful motion to suppress will prevent the government from using any of the evidence they obtained against you. In most cases, a successful motion to suppress signals an end game for the government because the court has ruled its evidence out and it has no choice but to dismiss the case. Our criminal defense attorneys will provide fierce and confident representation in court so you don't have to.
If you feel that your rights have been violated, schedule a case evaluation with Humphrey & Thompson.
