Representing Brooklyn Clients Accused of Firearms Offenses
Why Should I Hire a Brooklyn Weapon Possession Attorney?
Every American has the right to legal counsel when they are charged with a criminal offense. The Sixth Amendment of the US Constitution not only guarantees this right but also ensures that anyone who cannot afford an attorney or who does not wish to pay attorney’s fees to a private defense lawyer can still secure defense counsel.
It’s important to consider hiring legal counsel to ensure the personal attention your case deserves. That’s what you can expect when you work with private Brooklyn gun crimes lawyers like the team at the Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC.
Our firm manages a reasonable caseload to ensure we provide every client the highest level of individualized representation. Once we begin working on your case, we will carefully scrutinize your arrest and booking conditions to ensure the police followed all applicable due process laws. We’ll then help you determine your best available defenses, uncover any exculpatory evidence that may help you defeat your charges, and guide you through your proceedings with confidence.
Types of Firearms Offenses Our Firm Represents
You can rely on the Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC, to provide robust criminal defense representation in a wide range of gun crime cases, including:
- Illegal possession. New York state law restricts who may purchase and own firearms, and it is only legal to possess specific types of firearms. If you are arrested for violations of New York weapons possession laws, we can help you determine your best defense.
- Use of a weapon in another crime. When a firearm is involved in another criminal act such as robbery or assault, the defendant’s potential penalty escalates dramatically. You can trust our team to provide aggressive defense counsel no matter how many criminal charges you face.
- Illegal concealed carry. Concealed carry is legal in New York state only for those who obtain a New York pistol license. New York does not permit open carry.
- Gun dealer violations. All gun dealers in New York must abide by the state’s gun dealer laws. If a gun dealer fails to abide by these laws in any way, even if they make a mistake, they could lose their dealer license and face closure of their business, fines, and other penalties.
- Possession of more firearms than state law allows. New York state law allows an individual to possess up to 19 rifles and shotguns without a license. However, they must obtain the proper clearances to purchase their 20th rifle or shotgun. It is also illegal to purchase or possess a handgun without a New York pistol license.
- Possession of a firearm by a felon. New York state law prohibits anyone convicted of a felony from possessing firearms. If you have a felony record and are arrested for a firearms violation, you could face penalties based on your previous conviction as well as new penalties for the firearm violation.
These firearms violations can lead to significant penalties such as fines, probation, and several years in prison. It’s also possible to lose your Second Amendment rights depending on the nature of your conviction. If you face gun crime charges in Brooklyn, a gun crimes attorney can provide your best possible defense.
Defending Against Gun Crime Charges in New York
There may be more defenses available to you than you initially realize after an arrest for gun crimes in Brooklyn. Your defense attorney will help you carefully review your legal options to craft the best possible defense against the charges you face. Depending on the nature of your arrest and the exact charges against you, the Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC, can potentially help you explore several avenues of defense in your case:
- Did arresting officers obtain their evidence legally? We can help you determine if you are a victim of illegal search and seizure.
- If the weapon in question was recovered from your home, did the police have a valid search warrant for your home in the first place?
- If the weapon was found in your vehicle, did the police establish probable cause to conduct a search of your vehicle and recover the weapon?
These are just a few examples of the critical questions to ask when facing gun crime charges in Brooklyn.
