Weapons Cases

A weapon is legally defined as an instrument of any kind that is used by one person to cause bodily injury, threaten, or force another person. Illegally used weapons include: firearms, knives, cane knives, hunting knives, numchucks, brass knuckles, and swords.

Weapon crimes may be classified as misdemeanor or felony offenses. Classification will depend upon the type of weapon involved, the type of crime committed, if another person sustained bodily injury, the extent of the person’s bodily injuries, the age of the accused, if the accused has prior criminal convictions, and if the accused has prior weapon convictions. If the accused has prior criminal convictions, and/or if the accused caused bodily injury to another person, it is very likely that his/her criminal charges will be enhanced.

If you have been charged with a weapon crime, especially a crime involving the illegal use of a firearm, it is important that you retain the services of a skilled criminal defense attorney. If you are convicted of a weapon crime, you face life-altering criminal penalties that could negatively impact your future. For this reason, it is in your best interest to hire an attorney who can defend you both in and out of court and protect your individual rights.

Any person who is convicted of a weapon crime may be sentenced with jail time, fines, probation, and community service. Additionally, the person’s weapon conviction will show up on his/her criminal record, which is accessible to the public. When a person has a weapon crime conviction on his/her criminal record, it can be very difficult for him/her to obtain employment, housing, and education opportunities.
