Serious Consequences of Gun Charges in New York

Why You Need an Experienced NY Gun Charges Lawyer Immediately

Gun charges in New York City are treated with extreme severity. Simply possessing a firearm in public without a valid New York permit can lead to felony charges and a mandatory minimum sentence of 3½ years. A skilled NY gun charges lawyer like Glenn F. Hardy can intervene early to protect your freedom and future.

Aggressive Prosecution of Firearms Cases

New York prosecutors pursue weapons cases aggressively, even in situations where no one was threatened or injured. Without strong legal representation from an experienced NY gun charges lawyer, you risk long prison sentences and a permanent criminal record.

Protecting Your Rights from the Moment of Arrest

Gun charges often come with strict bail conditions and pretrial restrictions. Acting quickly with the right defense attorney is essential to challenge the evidence and fight for dismissal or reduction of charges.

Proven Defense Strategies for Violent Crime Cases

Car Stops and Constructive Possession Defenses

Police frequently charge every occupant of a vehicle or room when a gun is found. A strategic NY gun charges lawyer aggressively challenges this “constructive possession” approach and works to have charges dropped or reduced early in the case.

DNA Testing and Forensic Evidence

Modern DNA technology can prove innocence in many gun cases. We insist on proper forensic testing and use the absence of your DNA — or the presence of others — to create reasonable doubt and strengthen your defense.

Airport and Interstate Travel Weapons Charges

Many out-of-state travelers face unexpected weapons charges at LaGuardia or JFK airports due to New York’s strict gun laws. We provide strong defense for these cases and minimize travel burdens for non-resident clients.

Proven Defense Strategies for Weapons Charges
