Arrested For A Weapon Offense? Contact our Harrisburg Gun Charges Defense Lawyer
If you have been arrested for carrying a gun without a permit or you are being charged because you are a felon in possession of a handgun, you need a skilled defense attorney who will aggressively protect your rights and future liberties throughout the legal process.
Board-certified criminal defense lawyer Patrick F. Lauer, Jr. brings more than 33 years of experience with gun crimes and related charges. He has a reputation for results in more than 200 jury trials. He is dedicated to safeguarding your interests throughout the legal process when you are accused of a weapons violation.
Don’t Let A Weapon Charge Ruin Your Future Freedoms
Mr. Lauer knows the challenges you face, including minimum mandatory sentencing in the event of a conviction. He works hard to help you avoid harsh punishments such as jail or prison, substantial fines and a criminal record. He can review your case and determine your best course of action.
If a gun is used or in your possession during a crime, your sentence can be enhanced or increased. If the sentencing guideline calls for 10 years of incarceration, for example, a weapons offense can add years of prison time.
Even if you are a first-time offender who did not commit any crime with a gun, you could be headed to state prison if you are convicted. And if you have a permit for a gun but carry it outside your home or business, you could still be subject to felony charges.
Patrick Lauer works directly with you, one-on-one, to investigate your charges and determine if your gun was discovered during an illegal search and/or illegal traffic stop by police. He will negotiate skillfully and litigates forcefully on your behalf.
Purchasing A Firearm After A Crime Can Create Issues
Pennsylvania courts take gun laws very seriously, and they see anyone who has been charged with a crime as a danger to society. Unfortunately, this stereotype prevents good people from purchasing or owning firearms long after they have served their time and repented for their crimes.
