If you are convicted of a weapons charge in Chicago, the penalties can be severe, even if you are a first time offender.

In fact, the laws can become so complicated that it takes a keen and knowledgeable defense attorney to truly sort them out and understand them all. That is why having a defense attorney in Chicago in your corner is nothing short of critical if you are facing weapons charges.

 

Fortunately, if you have been arrested in Chicago on a weapons violation, an experienced defense attorney in Chicago will be able to unravel the maze of weapons laws to provide you with sound legal counsel regarding your options.

However, if you do proceed to trial, you can rest assured that your defense attorney will keep your best interests at the fore.
