Charged With A Weapons Offense?

Maybe you are licensed to carry a gun in another state and simply did not know the rules in New York or New Jersey. Or perhaps, concerned for your own safety, you carried a weapon without a license in your car for protection, without ever intending to use it. Regardless of how you came to face a weapons charge, it is clear that you need a knowledgeable attorney on your side.

We Are Knowledgeable About State-Specific Weapons Laws

Our skilled criminal defense attorneys represent individuals charged with weapons crimes, including:

  • Possession of an unregistered gun
  • Possession of a gun without a permit
  • Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
  • Criminal possession of a weapon

While most weapons crimes involve guns, they can also refer to other dangerous objects, including knives, billy clubs, brass knuckles and switchblades. The specific type of weapon involved in the charge, as well as where the weapon was discovered, contributes to whether the offense is classified as a felony or misdemeanor.

While the charges in both felonies and misdemeanors are similar, the penalties vary drastically. A misdemeanor weapons crime can result in heavy fines, while a felony can lead to a prison sentence.

Challenging The Prosecution’s Case On Your Behalf

As your attorneys, we will investigate all aspects of your arrest. We will carefully review the prosecution’s evidence and testimony, looking for holes in its argument. Our legal team will also work to determine whether the weapon was operable and if the arresting officer violated your constitutional rights in any way.
