Weapons Charges

Philadelphia Gun Charges Lawyer

In Pennsylvania, use of a weapon while committing crime now carries stiff penalties. For example, there is now a mandatory 5-year sentence when a gun is related to drug charges. In Pennsylvanis this charge is called a VUFA or Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act. When the prosecution adds a weapons charge to a case, it makes the defense attorney's job more difficult, and places the defendant in greater legal jeopardy.

At Brennan Law Offices, we aggressively defend clients accused of all types of weapons possession and gun charges. Our first goal is always to obtain dismissal or acquittal of state and federal gun charges, and failing that, to lessen the potential penalties through negotiation and alternative sentencing. We fight to preserve our clients' rights and freedom.

Separating the Gun from the Crime

The key to a successful defense of a weapons charge that is related to another criminal charge, such as a drug violation, assault, gang charges, or robbery, is to separate the gun from the other criminal charges. Our lawyers have extensive experience with evidence as it relates to weapons possession. We carefully examine all of the evidence. We reconstruct the chain of events that led to the arrest and the association of the gun with the defendant. Often, we find that, through overzealous police action, the officers have wrongly connected a weapon to an alleged criminal act. We look for ways to disassociate the gun with the alleged act or the defendant.
