Great Result in Gun Case I just concluded representation of a client who was charged with transporting a firearm in his vehicle. The vehicle was stopped for a legitimate traffic infraction, so there was no viable defense as to the legality of the stop. Once the vehicle was stopped, the client admitted to the police that he had a gun in the car. As such, there was also no viable factual defense either. In view of the lack of a plausible defense, it was decided to negotiate a resolution of the case with the State and the Court, which resulted in the client receiving a disposition of probation before judgment, which is not a conviction and which eventually can be expunged. Additionally, the client was placed on probation for 12 months, but unsupervised probation. |
