Suppressing Criminal Evidence (First Edition)

Good things come to criminal defense clients whose lawyers are aggressive litigators, but many criminal defense lawyers are easily dissuaded from utilizing suppression motions--arguably one of the best tools in their arsenal--when presented with what seems like a reasonable offer from the prosecution. When in doubt, file the motion!

Written for both the new criminal law attorney and the seasoned veteran, Deja Vishny's Suppressing Criminal Evidence can help you litigate suppression issues more aggressively, more efficiently, and with greater success, taking you step by step through the suppression litigation process, from the initial client interview, to drafting the motion, to arguing at the hearing.

What others are saying about Suppressing Criminal Evidence:

"Recalling my early days as a public defender, I had little idea how to translate my command of case law into successful pretrial motion practice. Oh, do I wish this book had been available then! While her book is geared to all levels of experience, it is indispensable to those new and newer to criminal defense. I'm now more than 30 years into this field, and found it very informative." Tony Bornstein, NACDL, The Champion

"This is an excellent resource for criminal defense lawyers. Well-researched with many helpful sample motions and cross-examinations. I look forward to consulting this work in the years to come." Kathleen Stilling
