Weapons Used to Commit a Crime: Aggravated Offenses
Where a weapon is used to commit another crime or if you are in possession of a gun at the time of a crime, you could face severe and lasting penalties. These aggravated offenses add “enhancement” to your sentence. Possession of a handgun at the time of a crime will have a significant effect on your sentence. Carrying a weapon while committing a drug crime, sex crime, or assault could result in a severe prison sentence. You need an experienced advocate who can minimize your charge and your sentence.
I am experienced in weapons offenses cases involving:
- Concealed weapons
- Aggravated assault
- Deadly weapons
- Firearms possession
- Failure to register a weapon
- Felon in possession
- Drug charges or drug possession
- Sex crimes
