Gun Crime Lawyer Dover, NH

Although New Hampshire is fairly permissive for citizens to carry a firearm and to conceal carry the firearm, it is quite harsh on punishing people who have been convicted of a crime involving a firearm. Penalties if convicted include decades in state prison and thousands of dollars in fines. In some cases, you may face federal charges in addition to state charges. There’s too much at stake to fight the charge alone. Get the help you need from our experienced Dover gun crime lawyer.

Our firm has considerable experience defending people who have been charged with gun crimes such as illegal possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and use of a firearm in the commission of a crime. Many times, gun crime charges are tacked on to other felonies, and the state often pursues the maximum sentence for all charges.

We carefully review the circumstances of the crime and seek evidence to exonerate you or propose an alternative view of events. Our defense is crafted according to the facts of the case, but we inspect the police’s actions, too, including how they collected evidence (were your rights violated?) and how you were treated in custody. If appropriate, we may negotiate a favorable plea arrangement with the prosecutor to significantly lessen any penalties. If your case goes to trial, you can be assured that we are prepared to present a compelling case to the jury. And, as former prosecutors, we can easily identify the state’s arguments and overcome them. We’re committed to protecting you and your rights.
