This experience has given us unique insights into -practice legal strategies over the years that have helped successfully handle countless handgun violations and similar weapon offenses.

Weapon Offenses & Potential Penalties

Almost all weapon offenses under New Jersey law are considered felonies – this includes little known charges such as possessing a prohibited weapon (e.g., hollow-point bullets, high-capacity magazines), attempting to commit robbery or assault using weapons, failure to possess carry permits for legally acquired handguns or weapons (in possession), and possessing weaponry despite their criminal history inhibiting them from doing so.

The nature and extent of your charges determine penalties should you be convicted. Irrespective of your offenses’ severity, you will face Criminal Division hearings at New Jersey Superior Court’s Camden Vicinage.
Convictions could lead to mandatory jail time ranging between 5-20 years for serious weapon crimes, with stricter parole restrictions, and minimum terms of imprisonment, especially when handguns are involved. The Law Offices of Todd Spodek have the tacticians that will help deal with all type of violations which include illegal weapons, possession for unlawful purposes, ignition pistols charges and several other criminal charges.

Potential Defenses Our Attorneys Will Explore

In battling against weapon charge accusations in Camden County, our attorneys have become capable of applying several defenses to provide the possible defense for our clients.
Here are a few notable approaches that we deploy successfully:

Challenging Improper Vehicle Stop – Most stop and seizures relating to weapon violations arise from vehicle stops. These often result from unreasonable police actions resulting in seizures without complying with search & seizure laws. In such cases where there is no valid legal ground for the stop, our lawyers often challenge the vehicle stop (when successful) and preclude arrests before judgment leaves unsatisfactory legal outcomes.
Suppressing Illegal Search or Seizure – New Jersey laws enforce stringent guidelines with respect to searches and seizures; law enforcement agencies enforcing these laws must comply strictly with these regulations before conducting any search or seizure on an individual’s property or possessions — car, business premises, apartment or house etcetera. However, law enforcement officers sometimes circumvent these guidelines illegally by conducting covert searches. With extensive knowledge of such procedural details, we nip them adequately against improper seizure motions to suppress evidence obtained unethically.
Positives: You May Not Have Been in Possession of the Weapon – Most weapon offenses within Camden rely heavily upon proving that you were indeed in possession of said weapon i.e., you knowingly exercised control over it when found in your vicinity during an investigation. Our Lawyers make a basic premise of this burden through excellent argumentation pointing out lack-of-awareness while providing visual evidence about not knowing their presence by employing tactics like blaming 3rd party individuals.
Police Violations of Miranda Rights – Law enforcement officers often ignore basic legal tenets that explicitly prohibit interrogating arrested persons or conducting arrests without formally warning them about their rights (right to remain silent and/or right to an attorney). Our attorneys ensure full compliance with your Miranda rights, protecting you from violated arrest procedures to maintain your good standing.
