Re: no knock raids

The lawyer's answer is going to be about the same as the cop's: you have the right to an attorney; if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.

Hire a lawyer. If you are indigent, contact the public defender's office and you will be given a free lawyer.

Good luck.

Re: no knock raids

It is hard to say if it is legal or not at this time without seeing the search warrant. As a general rule, searches without a warrant are illegal and no knock warrants are special and need a special warrant. I have sucessfully fought many of these kind of cases, so feel free to give me a call if I can help. Good luck.
