Weapons Offenses

Weapons Charge and Armed Assault Defense Lawyer in Charlotte

At the Law Office of Christopher A. Connelly in Charlotte, attorney Chris Connelly provides those facing weapons charges with powerful defense representation based on over 20 years of experience and handles each case personally. If you have been charged with illegal possession of a weapon (i.e, possession of a weapon on school grounds, possession of a weapon in a court house, possession of a weapon by a felon) or carrying a concealed weapon, preserve your right to a strong defense. Remain silent unless you have an attorney present.

If you have been arrested for armed assault or on weapons charges, do not talk to police until you talk to a lawyer. Contact our Charlotte office to arrange a consultation.

Depending on the unique circumstances surrounding the charges against you, Attorney Connelly may be able to get charges dropped altogether or reduced to a lesser offense. If your armed assault or other weapons charge case goes to trial, he will provide a powerful defense.

Defense against a weapons charge

Were you accused of carrying a concealed weapon because you had a box cutter in your pocket? Was the evidence against you acquired during an illegal traffic stop or as a result of illegal search and seizure? Did you even realize there was a knife or gun under the seat of the car you borrowed? These are only a few of the questions he will consider when determining how to approach your defense.

As your lawyer, Mr. Connelly is prepared to represent clients in state and federal courts in Mecklenburg County and Cabarrus County, including cases involving the following:

  • Carrying a concealed weapon
  • Assault with a deadly weapon (armed assault)
  • Possession of firearms by a felon
  • Possession of a weapon on school grounds
  • Possession of a weapon in a court house
  • Possession of knives, guns, box cutters or baseball bats
  • Use of a firearm during a drug offense
  • Possession of a concealed weapon during a drug offense

Some people will tell you that your case cannot be won. That's because they don't try. Call 704-376-9376 or e-mail our Charlotte office to schedule a consultation with a lawyer with experience in cases involving weapons charges.
