Facing charges related to guns, firearms, or other weapons can be intimidating and carry severe consequences. Whether you’re accused of illegal possession, carrying a concealed weapon, or using a firearm during a crime, a conviction could result in heavy fines, prison time, and a permanent criminal record. At Dye Law Office, we understand the complexities of weapons laws and are dedicated to defending your rights.
Understanding Weapons Charges
Gun and weapons charges can vary widely depending on the circumstances. Common charges include:
- Illegal Possession: Owning a firearm without the required license or permit.
- Concealed Carry Violations: Carrying a concealed weapon without proper authorization.
- Possession by a Prohibited Person: Having a firearm despite a prior conviction or restraining order.
- Use During a Crime: Using or brandishing a weapon during the commission of another crime.
- Possession of Illegal Weapons: Owning prohibited weapons such as switchblades or unregistered firearms.
These charges are often enhanced with mandatory minimum sentences or added penalties, especially if the alleged offense involves violence or occurs in certain restricted areas. That’s why having an experienced criminal defense attorney is crucial.
Serious Consequences Require Serious Defense
A conviction for gun or weapons charges can have long-term effects, including loss of gun ownership rights, difficulty finding employment, and damage to your reputation. In some cases, federal charges may apply, leading to even harsher penalties. We recognize what’s at stake and will work tirelessly to protect your future.
Building a Strong Defense
We believe that every case is unique and deserves a personalized defense strategy. Our Law Firm will:
- Examine the Evidence: We’ll investigate whether the weapon was discovered through an illegal search or seizure, violating your Fourth Amendment rights.
- Challenge the Charges: We’ll look for inconsistencies in witness statements, procedural errors, or other weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
- Negotiate for Reduced Penalties: In some cases, we can negotiate for lesser charges or alternative sentencing.
- Fight for Dismissal or Acquittal: If the evidence supports it, we will aggressively seek to have the charges dropped or fight for a not-guilty verdict in court.
