State and federal defenders handling Fourth Amendment suppression hearings, traffic-stop, Terry-stop, consent-search, and warrant challenges.

Fourth Amendment suppression motions. Controlling authority source-linked, not boilerplate. $97 per motion.

Eight motion types. Each is a pre-drafted suppression motion shell, a reply-brief framework anticipating the government’s response, an 8-12 question cross-examination bank for the testifying officer, and controlling authority citations with source URLs, so you confirm the law is still good before you file. Not the undated boilerplate a free brief bank hands you: built so you walk into the suppression hearing prepared instead of building the motion from scratch the morning before.

Run the suppression theory at issue and file with the controlling authority already organized and source-linked to the opinion, so you confirm it is still good law before it goes in, then walk into the hearing with the officer cross-examination bank ready instead of a boilerplate form you still have to research.

Frequently asked questions.

What do I get?

Per motion type: a pre-drafted suppression motion (~250 words editable), a reply-brief framework anticipating the government's expected response, an 8-12 question cross-examination bank for the testifying officer, and controlling authority citations (lead case + 2-4 supporting authorities) with source URLs stored.

Is this legal advice?

No. The templates are research artifacts modeled on Fourth Amendment suppression doctrine. Counsel of record adapts the motion language to circuit-specific precedent and the facts of the case before filing.

Why $97 per motion?

A targeted Fourth Amendment research and motion-drafting pull commonly takes 4-8 hours of attorney time, hours a state-court defender fighting a traffic-stop or DUI suppression rarely has to spare. As a federal benchmark, at the CJA panel rate (~$177/hr) that is the recovered billable time. In Florida state court, assigned counsel are paid a flat fee per case rather than by the hour, so those hours come out of your own time, not a billable line. The brief is priced at roughly 7-12% of the federal benchmark.

Why is the bundle $497?

Buying all 8 motions individually would be $776. The bundle is priced at $497, for practices with a Fourth Amendment caseload, the marginal cost of motion types you do not file this month is small relative to the up-front time savings on the ones you do.

Are the citations verified?

Every citation in every template carries a source URL. Lead authorities are drawn from United States Supreme Court opinions and binding circuit precedent, verified against CourtListener and official U.S. government sources. The no-fabrication rule: a citation without a working source URL does not ship.

Does this work in state court?

The Fourth Amendment doctrine does. Terry, Katz, Carpenter, and the good-faith and fruit-of-the-poisonous-tree lines are United States Supreme Court holdings that bind every state court, and these suppression theories are litigated in state DUI, drug, and stop-and-frisk hearings constantly. The motion documents themselves are drafted for federal practice, several open by moving under Fed. R. Crim. P. 12, and the evidentiary-hearing request references a federal district local rule, so counsel restates the motion under the state's suppression-motion rule and adapts the hearing request and local-rule citation to the state court's procedure before filing. The constitutional argument is the same in every court; the procedural frame is federal and you adapt it to your forum.

What is the refund policy?

7-day full refund on every motion template, single or bundle. No questions asked.
