New Jersey Gun Possession Lawyer Adam M. Lustberg Explains the Penalties for Illegal Firearm Possession in NJ

New Jersey gun possession lawyer Adam M. Lustberg (https://www.lustberglaw.com/blog/what-are-the-penalties-for-illegal-firearm-possession-in-new-jersey/) releases a new article explaining the penalties for illegal firearm possession in NJ. The lawyer mentions that New Jersey has some of the most stringent firearms laws in the country. A minimum of five years in jail and huge fines can be given to a person convicted of a firearms charge.

“Depending on the type of weapon and specific offense, each carries its own spectrum of penalties. Furthermore, penalties increase if your offense falls under the Graves Act. Suppose you are facing charges of illegal firearm possession. In that case, it is important to seek the help of an experienced New Jersey gun possession lawyer,” the New Jersey gun possession lawyer says.

The lawyer mentions that unlawful possession penalties will depend on the type of firearm the person was found possessing. Possession of a rifle or shotgun without a firearms ID card can result in three to five years in prison. The minimum mandatory jail sentence applies to the unlawful possession of a handgun charge because it falls under the Graves Act.

Attorney Adam M. Lustberg adds that a person who has a prior conviction is not allowed to possess a firearm if they are found with one in their possession. This is referred to as a Certain Person offense and anyone who is convicted of this charge can face five to 10 years in prison and will not be eligible for parole for a minimum of five years.

In the article, attorney Lustberg adds, “Possession of a firearm during the commission of these offenses is considered a second-degree offense. Furthermore, if there is an additional conviction for possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, prison time must be served consecutively.”

Lastly, criminal defense attorney Adam Lustberg emphasizes the importance of having a lawyer who has an aggressive and strategic way of defending the client. An experienced lawyer will be able to help the defendant understand what his rights are and what his next steps should be. It is also important for a defendant to take their case seriously and seek the help of a skilled lawyer right away.
