(prHWY.com) January 2, 2013 - Chicago, IL -- Chicago, Illinois (December 11, 2012) - James McCarron, a
trusted Chicago DUI attorney, is offering criminal defense services for people accused of violating Illinois' stringent weapons laws. Knowing one's rights can help in avoiding a possible felony charge that can tarnish one's record forever.
Firearms and weapons charges are extremely high priority criminal issues for lawyers in the Federal and Illinois court system. The cost of a gun related crime is quite severe, particularly if the gun can be linked to another crime. If the accused has a prior felony conviction, this could land the person in jail for some serious jail time.
A conviction for an improper carriage of firearms charge is meted out if the person "knowingly carries a pistol, revolver, taser or stun gun, or any other firearm." This is considered as a Class A Misdemeanor. A second offense will result in a Class 3 Felony conviction.
Defenses against weapon possession charges can help in fending off the allegations posed against the suspect. Among the actions that the defense will use includes filing motions to dismiss, motions to exclude and motions to suppress physical evidence or affidavits.
For people who are accused or have relatives that are accused of violating Illinois' gun possession laws, hiring an
experienced Chicago criminal defense lawyer helps in ensuring that the rights of the accused are protected, and that a proper defense is conducted to overturn the allegations leveled against them.
James McCarron has helped people from getting lost in the intricacies and nuances of the American criminal justice system. Aside from gun possession defense services, Mr. McCarron also helps clients facing DUI, burglary, illegal narcotics possession, forgery, and white-collar crimes, among others.
