Felony Charges Reduced & $40,000 Returned to Client After Major Search Warrant Case

My client’s home was raided by law enforcement under the authority of a search warrant targeting illegal firearms and narcotics. The search uncovered exactly what they were looking for—and more. In addition to the alleged contraband, police seized nearly $80,000 in cash found in the home.

The situation looked grim. My client was staring down the barrel of serious felony charges and the potential permanent loss of a substantial amount of money.

But that’s when we got to work.

Through strategic negotiation, careful case analysis, and a firm understanding of search and seizure law, I was able to:

• Get my client’s charges reduced to personal use only, avoiding more serious distribution-level consequences
• Secure the return of $40,000 of the seized funds—money that would have otherwise been lost under asset forfeiture

Thanks to this result, my client was able to avoid the life-altering weight of a major felony conviction and reclaim a significant portion of his financial security.

He’s relieved, rebuilding, and extremely grateful that we turned what could have been a devastating outcome into a second chance.
