Lake County, Illinois criminal defense attorney Lewis Gainor successfully defended a young woman in a case involving possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia. She was driving on June 6, 2006 when a police officer from the Lake Villa Police Department pulled her over.

The police officer questioned her and the passenger and determined he had probable cause to search the vehicle. Inside the vehicle they found marijuana and a pipe. The Lake Villa police officers arrested her and transported her to jail. She was held in custody until her family bonded her out. She was facing Class A misdemeanors.

Lake County criminal attorney Lewis Gainor took on the prosecution in her case. He filed a motion to have the evidence that was seized in the vehicle suppressed because the police had violated his client’s rights when they searched the car.
