Our Former County Prosecutors, Including the ex-Director of the Guns Task Force, And Highly Skilled Somerset County Illegal Gun Attorneys Are Ready To Defend You
New Jersey has extraordinarily stringent weapons laws, with a host of offenses classified as indictable felonies, many of which entail mandatory terms of incarceration and/or periods of parole ineligibility for those convicted. In many instances, weapons charges such as possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose are issued in addition to other charges such as those for drug offenses, assault, or property crimes. In other cases, a charge such as unlawful possession of a weapon will be levied against an individual who is found in possession of a firearm without a valid permit. In fact, due to New Jersey’s refusal to acknowledge out-of-state gun permits, charges of this kind are issued against visitors with astounding frequency. Moreover, many weapons offenses, particularly those involving handguns and firearms, are governed by New Jersey’s Grave’s Act, which requires the imposition of a mandatory term of incarceration with a minimum period of parole ineligibility.
Considering the gravity of a weapons charge in New Jersey, it is essential to handle these cases with the utmost attention and concern. At Marshall Criminal Defense, our team of attorneys utilize over 100 years of combined experience on both sides of the legal aisle to develop the most compelling and effective defenses for our clients. In addition, we often negotiate with prosecutors to help our clients avoid the mandatory minimums associated with some weapons charges and to facilitate enrollment in diversionary programs such as Pre-Trial Intervention, which is often denied in these cases.
