Weapon Charges
Possession of Firearm/Knife During Commission of Certain Crimes:
The law requires certain elements to be met before you can be considered guilty of this offense. For example, the State must prove that the weapon was "within arm's reach." The State must also show that the underlying crime is one covered by the applicable statute. This particular offense is often over-charged. Let's talk about the facts and circumstances surrounding your case.
Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon or Felony First Offender Probationer:
Perhaps you had been charged with a felony offense but the charge was dismissed, reduced, or handled through a pretrial diversion program. If this is the situation you should not be facing the offense of possession of a firearm by convicted felon or felony first offender probationer. It is also important to understand that the conviction cannot rest upon a person's mere spatial proximity to the object, especially if it was hidden. Attorney Davis will review your case to determine if you were inappropriately charged.
