Weapons charges and gun charges can affect everyone from convicted felons to people who have never been in trouble with the law before. Skillful handling of your case is essential to prevent consequences ranging from loss of your Firearm Owner's Identification Program (FOID) card to serving a lengthy prison sentence.
At Patel Law, PC, we bring years of experience to the defense of people accused of weapons offenses and gun crimes. With offices in Champaign-Urbana, Danville and Decatur, we represent people throughout Central Illinois who are charged with crimes such as:
- Unlawful use of weapon
- Illegal transportation of a weapon (such as transporting a weapon in your car without a case)
- Reckless discharge of a firearm
- Armed robbery
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon
- Aggravated discharge of a firearm
Protecting You From Serious Consequences
The consequences of a criminal offense quickly escalate when a weapon is involved. If you have a weapon on your possession when you commit a crime such as robbery, you are looking at a prison sentence without probation if you are convicted.
Defenses in weapons cases may revolve on how police came into contact with you. If the search and seizure of the weapon was illegal, then the evidence may be suppressed. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
