No
jail in Queens gun case
Lance’s client was trying to pick up a friend at the airport when
he was approached by the police. They asked him if he had a gun and he
said yes and gave it to them. After being
arrested charged with criminal possession of a weapon, PL 265.03, he came to see
Lance for a
case evaluation. Because possession of an illegal gun in New York carries a three and
a half year minimum sentence if it’s your first time, he was understandably
worried about his case. Lance went over the different options available
and what it would take to succeed. After being threatened with
prison time for over a year of court appearances, Lance negotiated a breakthrough
deal that carried a non-jail sentence.
