New York has some of the strictest gun and weapons laws in the United States. Possession of an unlicensed firearm alone is a serious felony that can result in years in prison, even for first-time offenders with no criminal history.
Hamilton Crest Group's weapons defense attorneys understand the complexity of New York's weapons statutes and have successfully defended numerous clients against these charges. We know how to challenge the prosecution's evidence and protect our clients' constitutional rights.

Weapons charges in New York can range from misdemeanor possession of a weapon (such as a knife or brass knuckles) to felony criminal possession of a weapon (such as an unlicensed handgun). The penalties increase significantly when weapons are used in the commission of other crimes.
Our defense strategies may include challenging the legality of the search that discovered the weapon, questioning whether our client had actual possession or knowledge of the weapon, or establishing that our client had a valid license or permit.
