Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts
I got raided and the search warrant has a different number on the address would that be enough to win a case?

It depends on how off the address was. If the street number was off by one or two numbers then probably not. But if it had the wrong street name entirely then you have a good argument.
It never hurts to file a motion even if you lose you gain info that may be helpful in a trial. Feel free to contact the office 774-745-0562 for questions or to retain my services.
I agree with the move to file a motion to suppress. This serves a number of purposes, all of which are good.
TO determine the scope of the error, the search warrant and affidavit must be reviewed.

If you were raided under a search warrant and you don't have an attorney yet, your should. If you do have an attorney, he/she would be the person to ask since the answer is fact specific. If you do not have counsel and are in Worcester County call me at (508) 752-7500. You should hire the best criminal defense attorney that you can afford in your area. Home field advantage is important for many reasons.
If you don't have an attorney yet, you should retain one immediately and confide only in that atttorney who well may be able to challenge the validity of the search warrant. Good Luck!
