We Handle All Weapons-Related Charges

If you have been accused of any other the following offenses, you could be facing serious criminal penalties:

  • Possession of an illegal weapon: Certain weapons — including assault rifles, short-barreled firearms, switchblades, brass knuckles and billy clubs — are completely illegal in Connecticut.
  • Carrying a concealed weapon: Certain weapons — including handguns — are legal to own, but you cannot carry them without a permit.
  • Felon weapon possession: If you have been convicted of a felony criminal offense, or one of a list of certain misdemeanors, including domestic violence offenses, within the past 10 years, it is illegal for you to possess or carry any type of firearm.

Often, our clients are charged with weapons offenses after weapons that do not belong to them have been found in their homes or cars. We are prepared to hold the prosecutors in your case accountable for proving actual possession and all other elements of the offense.
