Weapons Charges? You Have the Second Amendment.
Police are often quick to forget about your right to bear arms when making an arrest. Charges for illegal gun possession or prohibited possessor are often tacked on to lesser charges, in an effort to cast a broader net for a conviction. If you have been charged with a weapons offense, make sure your defense lawyer knows the strategies the police and prosecutor will use to try to make the charges stick.

Federal Gun Charges
Federal law enforcement agencies have special resources to prosecute federal weapons charges. Your defense attorney will need to understand the federal criminal court system and the strategies used by agencies such as the DEA, the ATF and the FBI. Federal court has a different standard of evidence and timeline for prosecution. Our trial attorneys are experienced representing clients in grand jury investigations and defending cases involving federal weapons charges in all federal courts in Nevada and northern Arizona.
"As soon as you have been asked the first question by the police, you should assume you are under investigation. Don't give them evidence against you. Talk to us immediately." Attorney John Wright.

- Prohibited possessor, felon in possession of a gun
