They were looking fo my brother because they said that they had evidence that my brother sold cocaine to a police officer. My brother was not home at the time. during the search they foud 2 safe boxes that belonged only to my uncles. and they took them the task force also took money that was in my boyfriends uncles and my mothers pocket. The next day my brother came home and we informed him what was going on. He then went down to the police station at talked to the task force. They told him that they conducted the search because that they were told that my brother was going to be recieving a big shipment of cocaine.

Re: NEED ADVICE PLeASE
Hello. This is a very serious matter.
A few years ago I had a similar case in which I represented a family in Chicago. The family had been a victim of an unlawful search and seizure. From your posting it sounds as if you have a case of unlawful search and seizure. I am horrified at what you and your family went through. You should consider filing a lawsuit. Of course there are more facts that I am sure you can provide, but at first glance it appears as if you have been damaged. I imagine you and family members probably have a claim for emotional distress. I hope my comments have been helpful. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
