Gun Crimes

Philadelphia Gun Crimes Lawyer

If you have been charged with a Pennsylvania weapons offense, attorney Randolph Goldman will take an early, thorough, and aggressive position on your behalf. If convicted, you will serve a mandatory sentence in a state prison.

Talk to a lawyer as soon as you realize you are in trouble. It never helps to talk to the police or prosecutors without a lawyer – they will use anything you say against you.

Contact our Philadelphia law firm and make arrangements for a free consultation about your firearms charges. Mr. Goldman has over thirty years of experience in criminal law. He will challenge gun crime charges that expose you to the risk of serving prison time when you shouldn’t.

If you were picked up for selling drugs and the police decide you were “close to a gun” - the consequences can be much more serious than a simple drug offense. Prosecutors and judges in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area have seen Attorney Goldman successfully get the evidence in weapons offenses cases thrown out.

A defense to a weapons charge may be to show that, although the gun was in the car you used, it was not your gun, it was not your car, or the drugs were not your drugs. If you were stopped and searched illegally, evidence can be suppressed or thrown out since it was found through illegal search and seizure. Attorney Goldman is fully familiar with your rights under the PA and US Constitutions regarding illegal search and seizure.

Any arrest for violent crime becomes more dangerous for the accused when weapons charges are involved, including domestic violence, robbery, and sex crimes. Simple assault can become aggravated assault or attempted murder. A common altercation can be construed as gang violence.
