The often-described
“war on drugs” has resulted in lengthy potential
jail terms for persons convicted of drug felony violations
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and throughout the United
States. However, in may instances these cases can be skillfully
defended through the suppression or exclusion of important
prosecution evidence based on police misconduct. Most felony
drug cases arise from searches and seizures of evidence by
the police, including house searches, automobile searches
and searches of individuals. Article I, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania
Constitution provides greater privacy rights to Pennsylvania
citizens than the Federal Constitution. As a result, Mr. McMahon
has a long record of success in “beating cases”
based on illegal police searches and seizures. While he was
an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting primarily felony
drug cases, Mr. McMahon extensively instructed police officers
in search and seizure law. His unsurpassed knowledge and unmatched
skill in aggressively uncovering illegal police searches and
seizures has resulted in many high-profile, successful results
for clients charged with serious felony drug violations. |
