What You’re Facing After a Felon‑in‑Possession Arrest

Mandatory Prison Exposure

Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a second‑degree felony, and certain circumstances can trigger mandatory prison time — especially when prosecutors claim actual possession or easy access.

Actual vs. Constructive Possession

Prosecutors must prove you knowingly possessed the firearm. Many cases involve shared homes, borrowed vehicles, or situations where the firearm was not clearly tied to you.

Additional Conditions

You may face strict pretrial conditions such as GPS monitoring, random testing, increased reporting, or other restrictions depending on the circumstances.

How We Defend Felon‑in‑Possession Cases

Challenge Possession

We examine whether the firearm was actually in your possession, whether you knew it was present, and whether it was accessible. Constructive possession cases are often weak.

Analyze Body‑Cam & Surveillance Footage

We review officer footage and any available video to determine what actually happened, how the firearm was found, and whether procedures were followed.

Challenge the Search

Many firearm cases begin with vehicle searches, home searches, or stop‑and‑frisk encounters. If the search wasn’t lawful, the firearm may be suppressed.

Expose Weak Evidence

Fingerprints, DNA, ownership records, and witness statements often fail to support the prosecution’s theory. We highlight every weakness.

Negotiate Reductions

Depending on the evidence, felon‑in‑possession charges can sometimes be reduced to lesser offenses or resolved through alternative sentencing options.

Prepare for Trial When Necessary

If prosecutors won’t negotiate fairly, we take the case to trial.
