Now you realize the whole conversation may have been recorded. You hire an attorney to get the voicemail excluded from evidence citing it was private and you did not intentionally make that call......

The case is Huff v. Spaw. The case hinges on the consent requirement.
Our criminal defense attorneys undrstand the implications of this ruling and its effect on the hundreds of thousands of cellular telephone users.
