Arrested For Declaring Firearm At Laguardia Airport – Case Dismissed

image

New York State has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world. Our clients were retired military veterans and legal firearm holders who resided in Hawaii. Upon traveling through New York, they declared their weapons, which were contained in proper lockboxes in accordance with TSA regulations, at a ticket counter inside LaGuardia airport when they were arrested and charged with felony gun possession. Our office immediately put together a persuasive mitigation package and appealed directly to the Chief Assistant District Attorney of the firearm bureau of the District Attorney’s Office. Our strong advocacy on behalf of our clients convinced the District Attorney that the case was worthy of being dismissed. The case was subsequently dismissed and sealed without our clients needing to return to court. If you are charged with a firearm related offense, or any other crime, call attorneys Caitlin Quvus and Todd Greenberg for the best result at 718-268-0400 or visit us at www.www.addabboandgreenberg.com.

Gun Charges at JFK Airport Dismissed and Sealed

Gun Charges at JFK Airport Dismissed and Sealed

New York weapons and gun laws are among the strictest in the country as our client, a licensed gun holder in Nassau County, came to find out when he accidentally brought the wrong bag to JFK airport on his way to catch a flight to a meeting. Although licensed in Nassau County, a New York City Special Carry License is needed to carry in New York City. The Queens District Attorney charged our client with Criminal Possession of a Weapon as a Class C Felony, with a mandatory minimum of 3 ½ years! Mr. Greenberg moved swiftly to get the client released from jail, conferenced the case with the Queens District Attorney’s Office, and put together a mitigation package. The case was Dismissed and Sealed within days of the arrest! It is extremely important that your attorney be highly experienced in dealing with similar cases with both the Queens District Attorney’s office and the Queens Courts. Don’t leave your future in the hands of chance after being arrested at an NYC airport, licensed or not.
