Manhattan Weapon Charges Attorney Ronald Kliegerman Is Prepared to Take Action in Your Defense
New York has some of the toughest gun laws in the United States. People accused of violating these laws find themselves facing the prospect of years in prison. If you or someone you love has been accused of a weapons charge, it is important that you seek out a lawyer and a law firm that will mount the strongest possible defense to these accusations.
NYC gun possession attorney Ronald Kliegerman of Kliegerman & Joseph LLP defends individuals throughout the area in a broad range of weapons crimes. Our law firm will prepare a strong defense to these allegations and work tirelessly to help you achieve the best possible result in your case.
Defending Against Criminal Possession of a Weapon and Other Charges
One of the most common weapons charges in New York involves Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree. In order to secure a conviction, the state must prove that the defendant knowingly possessed a loaded firearm without a valid permit outside of his or her home or business. This charge brings a minimum sentence of three and a half years in prison. Even if this is the only time you have ever been arrested, you still face this mandatory minimum sentence. Even if you have a valid handgun permit from another state, you can still face prosecution under this charge.
Clearly, these and other weapons charges demand an aggressive defense. Ronald Kliegerman will look carefully at all of the evidence. He will not accept the police report at face value. Rather, he will dive deeply into these allegations, looking for all inconsistencies in the government's case. If there are reasons to doubt the credibility of the police, he will exploit these weaknesses to your benefit. If there are flaws in the way the police gathered evidence against you, he will request that the court suppress any illegally obtained evidence. Our law firm has achieved successful results in weapons charges for clients on previous occasions and is prepared to do everything in our power to help you achieve a successful result.
