In the fight to make our communities safer, gun laws restricting the possession of weapons have been strengthened with harsher sentences and tougher enforcement for offenders. The NYPD’s controversial stop and frisk program has also contributed to the increase in gun enforcement, particularly among minorities. If you have been charged with criminal possession of a weapon, you need an experienced defense lawyer who understands your constitutional rights and the ever-changing area of search and seizure law to fight hard for you in your defense.
We have successfully litigated search and seizure issues at pre-trial hearings resulting in the suppression of illegally seized guns and dismissals of our clients’ cases without a trial based upon the violation of our clients’ constitutional rights.
Manhattan Gun Possession Attorney
At the
Law Offices of Michael V. Cibella, LLC, a New York City criminal defense law firm, we represent clients in a variety of weapons-related charges, from possession to commission of a violent crime with a deadly weapon. With more than 15 years of criminal law experience, we scrutinize the circumstances of every stop and arrest and develop a persuasive and credible defense to get you the best results possible.
Simply carrying a gun without a permit in New York City can result in you facing mandatory jail time. It is important to know your rights and have an experienced criminal defense attorney to help you protect them.
We will investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest, analyzing the actions of law enforcement officers to develop constitutional challenges to any search and seizure. If the police did not have a proper basis to stop or search you, evidence that you were in possession of an illegal weapon may be suppressed and your case dismissed.
