Illegal Gun Possession in Illinois
The penalty for unlawful possession of a firearm in Illinois can be a prison sentence of three years or more. Use of a weapon to commit a crime can add significant time to the sentence for the primary crime. If you face weapons charges in Illinois, you need strong and effective legal representation as soon as possible. Your future and your liberty are at stake.
At the Chicago law firm of Steven A. Greenberg and Associates, Ltd., our founding lawyer aggressively defends clients accused of gun crimes that include:
- Armed robbery
- Felon in possession
- Unlawful possession of a firearm
- Unlawful use of a firearm
- Other weapons-related charges
When weapons charges accompany serious felony charges, such as state or federal drug allegations, it is important to have a defense attorney who is knowledgeable about these high-stakes cases. Moreover, such cases often attract the attention of the media, exposing an individual to unwanted scrutiny that can hurt not just the outcome of the criminal case but the reputation and future of the accused. Steve Greenberg not only has 25 years of criminal defense experience, but he also has been a consultant and analyst for MSNBC, CNN and Fox News. He has the proven ability to manage high-profile cases both inside and outside the courtroom.
Every criminal defense effort should begin with a comprehensive review of the facts. In each case, Steve will examine all aspects of the events leading to the arrest, exploring issues such as the validity of the police stop, where the weapon was discovered and the actual ownership of the weapon. The result of such exploration may provide a factual or legal basis for getting the charge dismissed or reduced to a non weapons-related charge.
Steve Greenberg has spent his entire legal career defending people accused of crimes. He is committed to helping each of the firm's clients get the best possible outcome. He is known as a tireless advocate who works tenaciously at all stages of the legal process to defend your rights and preserve your freedom.
