Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
Which means, if you’ve been arrested for possession of an illegal firearm, it is in your best interest to retain professional counsel immediately. The team at Tucker Lawyers PC is well-versed in the intricacies of gun law and can help navigate you through your upcoming legal process.
Most breaches of New York’s guns laws mean time in prison.
If the found weapon was used in connection with another crime, say a murder or any gang-related activity, then you stand to face far steeper fines and more prolonged stays in prison.
There are few different defenses that have proved effective against illegal possession of a firearm charges. In the past, we’ve had success claiming entrapment, proving unlawful search and seizure, and/or disproving the actual nature of the discovery of said firearm’s ownership. Meaning, if we’re able to cast doubt on who the gun in question actually belonged to, or we can sufficiently argue that the gun was planted on your person without your knowing, then you will be in a far better position and will stand to face a far more lax penalty. Casting any doubt on the arresting officer’s original story has been known to yield great results.
(Certain people, felons for instance, may not own a firearm at all- even if they were to attempt going through the proper channels or had previously been in possession of a valid license. If you are a convicted felon who has been caught with a firearm, it is doubly important for you to solicit the help of a professional law team.)
