Accomplished Counselors Ready to Protect Your Rights
Weapons charges are common at both the state and federal level and can yield serious consequences for the accused. What makes these offenses so alarming is how often they can “piggyback” on to other charges—and add up to seven years of prison time to allegations that otherwise would have resulted in just probation. That is why it is crucial that the accused seek proven defense counsel before moving forward with these cases.

We have more than three decades of combined experience the in the criminal justice arena and, at both the state and federal level, are ready to ensure that the allegations against our client are thoroughly countered in and outside the courtroom.

How are “Weapons Charges” Defined?
Weapons charges essentially come in two forms. One of these forms is the simple illegal possession of firearms. This can include instances where the specific firearm is prohibited (like some assault rifles) or when the specific individual is prohibited from possessing firearms. When there is no incident of violence, these weapons charges tend to be minor on their own.
The other form of weapons charges includes instances when weapons are present or used during the course of another crime. In most cases, this makes the coinciding crime much more serious– and can yield greater penalties for the accused.
