Full description and what we offer
This is a criminal defense law firm, not a firearms business. They specialize in defending people charged with gun-related offenses in New Jersey—which has among the strictest firearms laws in the country.
Under the Graves Act, firearms offenses in NJ carry mandatory prison time and parole ineligibility, even for first-time offenders. A BB gun possession charge alone is a third-degree crime carrying 3-5 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines.
"BB Gun Laws in New Jersey are unbelievably strict. Believe it or not, you will be charged for a firearm offense in NJ."
But here's the key: The Attorney General relaxed penalties for BB gun charges, giving prosecutors discretion to offer Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI), probation, or even downgrade cases back to municipal court instead of mandatory prison time.
| Charge Type | Severity | Potential Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| BB gun possession without permit | 3rd degree felony | 3-5 years prison, $15K fine |
| Unlawful firearm possession | Indictable felony | Prison time, criminal record |
| Possession with unlawful purpose | 2nd degree felony | 5-10 years prison, $150K fine |
| Firearm during drug crime | 2nd degree felony | Enhanced prison sentence |
| School grounds firearm | 3rd degree felony | Prison time + school penalty |
They challenge gun charges on multiple fronts:
1. Illegal searches - Questioning whether police had legal authority to search and seize the firearm 2. Motor vehicle stops - Attacking the basis for the traffic stop that led to discovery 3. Search warrants - Examining whether warrants were properly issued 4. Plea negotiations - Reducing sentencing or downgrading charges 5. Transport defense - Defending people charged while transporting firearms to shooting ranges
If you have no prior criminal record, you may qualify for Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI). If accepted:
- •You're placed on probation instead of facing trial
- •Successfully complete probation = charges dismissed
- •No criminal conviction on your record
- •No permanent firearms restriction
This is the critical difference between conviction and a clean slate.
