Protect Your Rights
Gun laws in New Jersey are strict. If you are caught violating these laws, you could face significant consequences. A convicted felon cannot carry a weapon and can have difficulty finding a job. If you are charged with a gun crime, it is critical that you seek representation from an attorney who will challenge the accusations and aggressively protect your rights.
New Jersey Gun Crime and Gun Possession Laws
In New Jersey, you cannot have or own certain types of weapons and firearms such as assault rifles. If you are caught with such weapons, the consequences are serious. If you are convicted of a crime, you will face fines and an extended prison sentence.
Gun laws in New Jersey are no laughing matter. Applications of the Graves Act, which requires minimum mandatory jail sentences, and the No Early Release Act ("NERA"), which requires that a defendant serve 85 percent of a prison sentence before being eligible for parole, means defending yourself will be a fight for your life. If you are charged with a criminal offense such as robbery for which NERA is applicable, and you were charged with using a firearm in furtherance of the commission of the crime, the consequences of a conviction can be devastating.
It is in your best interests to seek representation from an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. Attorney Sayegh will take immediate action and start building a strong defense for your case.
