Why Hire a Gun Charges Attorney in Connecticut?
A conviction for a gun crime on your record can have serious consequences. Gun arrests often involve complicated legal issues, especially if another crime such as robbery is involved. State law enforcement tends to aggressively pursue gun crimes cases and attempt to get speedy convictions and penalties enforced.
It is important to know your rights when you are arrested on a gun-related charge because police and prosecutors can often rely on informants, plea bargains, and testimony by questionable sources to get you convicted.
Our dedicated attorneys can help you navigate the complex legal system involved with gun-related offenses and ensure that you get the superior level of support necessary to pursue your case. We can defend you in many ways, even if the evidence against you and the relentlessness of the prosecution seem too overwhelming.
Gun Laws in Connecticut
The State of Connecticut has one of the most restrictive gun laws in the United States following legislative enhancements in 2013. In this state especially, it is important to have quality legal counsel to aid you in your case.
One of the important changes to the system enacted in 2014 is that in addition to penalties such as fines and imprisonment, persons convicted of gun crimes must register with the Deadly Weapon Offender Registry, which is run by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP).
The penalties in the State of Connecticut regarding gun crime convictions can be very severe. If you are caught and convicted for carrying a dangerous gun that is deemed illegal to carry by the State of Connecticut, which is a felony, you could be punished with up to three years in prison and/or fines up to $500 (see CGS §53-206).
Even more seriously, if you commit a Class A, B, or C felony while in possession of a firearm, you may incur an additional non-suspendable imprisonment of five years, not including your prison time for the felony itself (see CGS §53-202j,k).
If you have been arrested for a gun crime, it is essential that you obtain the help of a gun lawyer. Arrest for such crimes can lead to serious penalties if it results in a conviction, and our attorneys can help protect your rights and ensure the best possible outcome for your case.
