Hire a New Jersey weapons defense lawyer with experience handling Graves Act cases and waiver requests. Matthew Cohan and his team review your history, the incident, firearm storage, and supporting information about employment, family, and community ties. They assess grounds for a waiver request and explain potential sentencing options without promising a particular outcome.

Defenses depend on the specific charge. Your lawyer might challenge evidence of your knowledge, the alleged criminal source of the funds, or the transaction’s purpose where the statute requires it. Business records, tax filings, and communications help establish the context of transactions and test the government’s claims. A defense must address the elements prosecutors need to prove.
