Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

It depends on the criminal possession basis. Was it in connection with another charged crime?

The simple answer to your question is yes, you can be charged with criminal possession with a weapon even if the illegal weapon is in your home. This is limited only if the way they discovered the weapon was improper. You need to retain an attorney to protect your rights.

It would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
