A Strong Defense for Gun and Weapon Charges
We defend people who have been charged with:
- Possession of illegal weapon
- Use of a weapon during a crime (armed robbery)
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Possession of an unlicensed weapon
- Illegal sale of firearms
- And other weapon crimes
Many of these crimes do not stand alone. They are often combined with other crimes — such as drug crimes — and increase the maximum penalties for these crimes. Sometimes, the police will even use a weapons violation as grounds for arrest when they do not have enough evidence to support the other alleged offense. We strive to separate the offenses or eliminate one of them to minimize the consequences. We show the crimes were not related, or that the penalties are unwarranted for the situation.
