Strong Defense From Weapons Charges

The criminal law attorneys of Leonard, Hammond, Thoma & Terrill, P.C., defend clients charged with handgun and other firearm violations in state and federal court.

Our Fort Wayne lawyers represent clients in weapons-related cases involving:

• A serious violent offender in possession of a handgun
• Carrying a handgun without a license
• Possession of illegal firearms

Determining The Facts Of The Case

One of the first steps in developing a strong defense in a gun possession case is to scrutinize the interaction between the accused person and the police or other government agents.

We will ask a lot of questions: Was there a search warrant? If so, was it based on reliable information? Was it properly executed? If the gun was found during a traffic stop, did the officer have probable cause to stop the vehicle or to search for a weapon?

Next, we will review the information the prosecutor has, including charging information, affidavits, police and detective reports, witness statements and any videos of the arrest, booking or interrogation of our client by the police.

We leave no stone unturned as we gather the facts necessary to construct a defense strategy.

In some cases, the police may have found a weapon beneath the seat of a car, but they may not be able to prove that the weapon belonged to our client. In other cases, we may be able to get the evidence suppressed because the police violated your constitutional right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure.
