Weapon charges can carry harsh penalties by the Colorado Courts. If you have a prior felony conviction and are caught with a weapon, serious ramifications may result. Additionally, if you are accused of having or using a weapon while committing another crime, the sentence can be aggravated. An aggravated sentence can happen even if you did not use the weapon. A common example is a robbery. If you possessed a weapon or used the weapon, you will be charged with aggravated robbery. Aggravated robbery carries a mandatory prison sentence in Colorado. Weapons in drug cases can increase the sentence against a person as well.
There are many types of weapons charges such as possessing a dangerous or illegal weapon, unlawfully providing or permitting a juvenile to possess a handgun, carrying a concealed weapon, and unlawful purchase of a weapon. Ms. Chase has handled many weapon offenses and is ready to vigorously fight your case.
If you have ever been accused and convicted of a prior domestic violence crime, including a misdemeanor, you are prohibited from carrying a firearm. If you are now accused of a weapons charge and have a prior domestic violence conviction, it is important to have experience counsel to help you through the court process every step of the way.
