Solo + federal defenders handling suppression hearings.

Fourth Amendment suppression templates. Controlling authority grounded. $97 per motion.

Eight motion types. Each template 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. 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, file the motion with controlling authority already organized, and walk into the hearing with a cross-examination bank ready for the testifying officer.

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 at a typical CJA panel rate (~$172/hr). The brief is priced at roughly 7-12% of that recovered billable time.

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.

What is the refund policy?

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