Weapon and Gun Violations Lawyer in Houston, Texas

Weapons charges may be considered state or federal crimes. Regardless of the type of gun violation or weapons offense, you may be facing jail time, large fines, probation and the possibility of never being able to own a gun or other type of weapon in the future. At my office, the law firm of Melissa Martin, PLLC in Houston, I offer clients aggressive representation for cases involving weapons charges.

Having handled a wide range of gun violation and weapons charges throughout my 10 years of practice, I understand how law enforcement officials investigate weapons cases and examine your arrest for illegal search and seizures or other constitutional violations that may have been committed by the police.

There are many factors that are used to determine the severity of a weapons charge and whether it will be charged as a state or federal crime, including:

• Whether or not the weapon was loaded
• If the weapon was for hunting purposes
• Whether or not the weapon was operable
• Where the weapon was located
• If you were aware that the weapon was in your possession
• If the weapon was being used during the commission of another crime

If the weapon was being used in conjunction with another type of crime, such as a robbery, the charges may be enhanced (from simple robbery to armed robbery) and carry much harsher penalties. It is important that you have a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney whenever you are dealing with weapons charges, gun violations or other types of criminal charges.

If you are facing weapons charges or charges of gun violations, contact me at my Houston law office at 713-224-0888 right away. I can immediately begin reviewing your case and determining how we can structure a defense on your behalf.
