Federal Weapon and Drug Charges Dismissed

In a case where Jim’s client was discovered with a lot of drugs and a lot of guns, things were not looking good.  The ATF and the government was looking for Jim’s client to serve a decades long sentence.  However, Jim was not having that.  Using Michigan FOIA law and other avenues of investigation, Jim was able to obtain previously unknown videos of the search of his client’s home and discovered that the search was completely illegal.  The Eastern District of Michigan Federal Judge agreed and threw out all of the evidence.  The government reluctantly conceded and dismissed the case.
