Experienced New Jersey and New York City Weapons Charges Attorney
Ever-tightening New Jersey and New York gun laws have a harsher impact on anyone charged in the New Jersey Superior Court or New York City Criminal Court with a weapons offense. Whether someone gets caught carrying a weapon without a permit or has been charged with a weapons offense while committing a crime, they face serious consequences including prison time.
Once a relatively simple and straightforward matter, gun crimes now have greater consequences, and have become harder to resolve without criminal jury trials. Strict sentencing guidelines in federal cases with weapons can result automatically in a long prison sentence.
The criminal defense law firm of James S. Friedman, LLC provides experienced legal representation to defendants facing weapons charges in any New Jersey or New York State or Federal court, including:
- Unlawful possession of a gun
- Gun possession with drug charges
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Armed robbery
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Transporting weapons over state lines
- Graves Act issues
- Purchasing a weapon for someone who cannot do so
Before saying anything to law enforcement authorities, contact criminal defense lawyer James S. Friedman.
Other Deadly Weapons Used in Commission of a Crime
While most weapons charges involve a gun, anything that can be considered a dangerous weapon can lead to serious criminal charges; knives, clubs, baseball bats, hammers and other objects that are not typically considered weapons, but are used to intimidate or hurt someone while committing a crime, can qualify as a weapon under the law.
Gun Crimes and Other Criminal Charges
Weapons charges appear frequently in robbery, drug possession, assault and other cases. Charges can stack up fast and the penalties can be served consecutively, resulting in even longer prison terms.
