Criminal Defense for Illegal Gun Possession Charges
We defend against all types of illegal weapons and firearm offenses, including:
- Illegal gun or firearm possession
- Unlicensed handgun possession
- Improper discharge of a firearm
- Weapons charges
- Violent crime committed with an illegal firearm or weapon
One way we defend against illegal gun possession charges is to challenge an illegal search and seizure. If the arresting officer violated your Fourth Amendment search and seizure rights, we may be able to challenge the evidence of the illegal weapon or gun.
Federal Weapons and Firearms Charges
In addition to state laws governing weapons and firearms possession, there are federal weapons laws. Possession of certain deadly firearms, such as machine guns, sawed-off shotguns or rifles, are controlled by federal law. Discharging a firearm on school or public property could also lead to federal charges. Convictions of a federal weapons law have serious penalties, including 10 to 15 years in prison.
Federal weapons charges are complex and require a competent and strategic criminal defense. We have the experience to provide you with knowledgeable advice about your federal charge. We will keep you informed and educate you about your options after you have been charged with a federal-weapon or firearm charge.
