Our Defense of Weapons Violations
We provide comprehensive defense counsel to people facing criminal weapons charges, either in state or federal court. We tenaciously protect the rights of people who have been accused of violating federal or New York state gun laws, handling cases involving any type of weapon or firearms offense, including:
- Brandishing a firearm
- Being a felon in possession of a firearm
- Unlawfully discharging a gun
- Carrying an illegal and loaded gun in a vehicle
- Participating in the unlawful sale of a firearm
- Gun-related crimes, such as armed robbery
We also represent individuals who have been arrested for possession or sale of other illegal weapons, from switchblade knives or brass knuckles to martial arts weapons.
When you hire us to defend you against a charge of violating state or federal weapons laws, we will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your arrest. We will look at whether police or law enforcement officers had probable cause to make any search or seizure, and whether you were correctly advised of your Miranda rights when taken into custody. We will also question all potential witnesses and review police reports so that we can identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, including issues involving the reliability or credibility of testimony against you.
