Law enforcement officials are zealous in their prosecution of violent crimes, especially those committed with firearms and other weapons. In their efforts to get guns off the streets, they may violate the accused's rights. Attorney Daniel P.

Our firm has defended people against weapons violations charges such as these:

• Illegal possession of a gun after a felony conviction
• Selling guns to a juvenile
• Illegal gun sales
• Possession of a weapon when committing another crime
• Lying when applying for a gun permit
• Possessing a firearm with an obliterated or altered serial number

Many of these charges may carry mandatory minimum sentences. For example, a person convicted of drug possession with intent to deliver while in possession of a firearm may receive a five year prison sentence. Our task in weapons violations cases is to keep clients out of jail. We fight hard to reach the goal.
