Defense Against Multiple Charges
In many cases, gun charges are not standalone charges. They often come with other charges, so it is critical that you choose an experienced lawyer who can carefully assess the severity of all charges and attack the most severe first, doing everything possible to minimize the impact the charges will have on your life and your future.
When we handle gun charges paired with traffic offenses, drug charges, theft and burglary charges, or any other charges, we look first at any charges that come with mandatory prison time. In Ohio, gun specifications are often added to the underlying offense. These carry mandatory prison time anywhere from one to five years running consecutive to the sentence received for the underlying crime. We attack the most severe first. Then we review the charges with lesser consequences and do what we can to prevent you from even having to face those consequences as well.
Investigation of Gun Crime Cases
We carefully investigate gun crime cases, including those paired with other charges. If you were pulled over and a police officer searched your car claiming to smell marijuana, and the search turned up a hidden firearm, we want to know if the traffic stop and the search were conducted legally. We will consider all constitutional issues for suppression prior to attacking the state or federal government's case.
