Attorney Peter Katz

New York Federal Firearms Charges Lawyer

The “right to bear arms” is often clouded by new legislation further restricting our ability to carry a gun. With gun violence becoming a glaring concern in our nation, federal prosecutors will do everything in their power to prosecute gun crimes.

If you are found guilty of a gun offense, you could be facing ten years in federal prison, three years of probation, and $250,000 in fines. Not to mention, a federal conviction will force you to forfeit your firearm rights forever.

If you are seeking dependable counsel to defend firearm charges, I am Attorney Peter Katz, and I am here to advocate for you. With nearly 30 years of experience defending hundreds of clients facing gun offense allegations, I am prepared to craft a defense that affords you the greatest likelihood of success.

The Gun Control Act

Codified as 18 U.S.C. §922(g), the Gun Control Act makes it illegal for the following categories of people to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, including:

Which Federal Agency Investigates Firearm Charges?

The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) investigates the role that firearms play in the rise of violent crimes. ATF’s mission is to target, investigate, and recommend prosecution to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Additionally, ATF issues firearms licenses and enforces federal firearm laws and regulations.

Aggressive Representation Against Firearm Charges

If you are facing allegations of a firearm offense, you need someone who will examine the charges brought against you and explain potential sentencing, as well as your legal options. The prosecution has vast resources, including special agents working to gather every bit of incriminating evidence. But who is working for you?

When you hire my services, I am prepared to explore all avenues in gathering pertinent evidence in relation to the charges against you. Although a federal prosecutor has a duty to share any evidence that would negate criminal liability (known as the Brady Rule), they will not go out of their way to find this information.

My New York City clients as well as those that live in the suburbs rely on me to help them if they have been accused of illegal possession, transportation, or sale of a gun. When you hire me, you are hiring someone who will take all measures to ensure that you are given a fair trial.
