Binghamton Weapons Charge Defense Attorneys

Reliable & Experienced Legal Professionals at Your Service

If you live in New York, understanding more about the weapons charges you may be facing is essential. There are a wide variety of weapon charges that individuals can face in Upstate New York, and many people don't even realize what these include.

Even things like not having the proper license to carry a firearm, having an unlicensed gun outside of your home/office, or having a loaded gun could result in a felony charge and time spent in jail.

Binghamton is extremely tough on gun crimes and will try and press for the maximum punishment possible. This is why it's essential to hire an experienced and aggressive lawyer to represent you if you're in this type of situation.

To learn more about your case, contact our weapons charge defense lawyers in Binghamton today.

Felony Charges

It's important to realize that felony charges in New York are more common than you may think. You could end up being charged a felony for even just possessing something like an assault rifle, automatic weapon, or military-style gun. It's also possible that you would face felony charges for possessing a pistol magazine that had more than ten rounds inside of it.
