Contact a New York gun possession defense lawyer with experience handling firearms found in shared spaces. Matthew Cohan and his team examine access to the area, the firearm’s location, statements, and the search itself. They assess the evidence of possession and any legal presumptions prosecutors rely on to connect you to the gun.

You should never accept a plea deal without first consulting a lawyer. While a plea agreement can sometimes reduce potential penalties, it also requires you to give up important rights and will sometimes result in a conviction and a criminal record. An experienced criminal defense attorney can evaluate the offer, explain the consequences, and help you weigh your options—but the final decision is always yours.

Look for an attorney with experience defending federal financial crimes, reviewing complex transactions, and handling grand jury subpoenas and asset forfeiture. Ask about representation during investigations and before an indictment. Matthew Cohan and his team are experienced in these areas and represent clients facing federal money laundering allegations in New York and New Jersey.
