NYC Weapon Charges Defense Lawyer

What Constitutes Weapon Charges

Law enforcement, particularly in New York City, are aggressively searching out illegal weapon possessions and aggressively prosecuting. The second amendment to our country's constitution states: the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. In the course of trying to protect people, law enforcement can sometimes violate the constitutional rights of another. If this has happened in your case, skilled criminal defense legal counsel can take hard-hitting action to move that any charges against you be dropped immediately.

There are local, state and federal laws that place restrictions on the possession, use, sales or trafficking, manufacturing, and importing or exporting of deadly weapons. Penalties for convictions of any of these crimes can be quite harsh. If you are facing any type of weapon charges in the New York City area, a New York City criminal defense attorney from Perez & Cedeño, P.C. can help you. We can handle cases that range from firearm possession to assault with a deadly weapon or murder.
