Case dismissed for gun case in Brooklyn

2020

Lance’s client was arrested for being in possession of a loaded, illegal pistol that was loaded. Despite facing a strong case, Lance’s client came in right away after the arrest to start fighting back against the situation. Lance went over different defenses and examined the evidence. Facing a three and a half year prison sentence, even for a first arrest, Lance’s client was determined to avoid jail but also avoid trial. After a few months of litigation, Lance was able to successfully raise doubt about the provability of the possession element of the charge. Shortly thereafter, the Kings County Prosecutor offered to completely dismiss the case. Case dismissed, no jail, no criminal record, no probation.
