Weapons Charges

Maryland Weapons Charges Attorney

When a carjacking or robbery arrest involves the presence of a gun, the job of a defense lawyer grows more difficult. Under Maryland firearms laws, conviction for a crime in which a weapon was used carries far heavier penalties than if the crime had been committed without use of a weapon. In this situation, the defense attorney must do everything possible to remove any connection of the gun to the defendant.

Mead, Flynn & Gray understand all of the different issues involved in the defense of weapons charges. In handling these cases, we carefully examine all aspects of the sequence of events leading up to the alleged incident, looking for evidence that breaks the connection of the client to the weapon, or that demonstrates the fallacy of the prosecution's assertion.

We vigorously defend the rights and freedom of clients facing weapons charges, including:

• Commission of a felony using a gun
• Carrying a concealed weapon
• Illegal weapons trafficking
• Possession of illegal firearms
• And others

Plea Bargain or Trial

Often, we can use these findings to put us in a strong position to obtain a reduction of the charge to a non-weapons related offense, if not an outright dismissal of charges. We are prepared however to go to trial when and if the client desires it or when the cause of justice demands it.

Whether we are seeking a plea bargain or vindication at trial, we always work to achieve the best outcome possible — one that preserves our clients' rights and preserves their freedom.
