Handling Gun Crime Cases in Brooklyn

So, what do you do, if you get hit with one of these things? Gun crimes in Brooklyn are no joke – they carry heavy penalties, and can land you behind bars for years, if not decades. But, take a deep breath. With the right legal team on your side, all hope is not lost. That‘s where we come in.Our Brooklyn gun crime lawyers have successfully defended clients against charges like:

• Criminal possession of a weapon
• Possession of a loaded firearm
• Possession of an assault weapon
• Possession of a defaced firearm
• Possession of a firearm on school grounds
• Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
• Possession of a firearm during a drug crime or violent felony
• Illegal sale or purchase of firearms
• Discharging a firearm within city limits

No matter how serious the charges, we explore every possible defense strategy to get you the best outcome. A few common defenses we utilize include:

• Lack of possession (the gun wasn’t actually yours)
• Lawful possession (you had a valid permit/license)
• Constitutional violations (illegal search/seizure, coerced confession)
• Self-defense or defense of others
• Entrapment by law enforcement
• Mistaken identity or lack of evidence

Our Brooklyn criminal lawyers know all the ins and outs of New York’s harsh gun laws. We‘ll fight tooth and nail to have charges reduced or dismissed entirely. And if we have to take it to trial, you can count on our skilled litigators to make a compelling case for your innocence.But we get it, you’re stressed, this is a hard situation to deal with – let‘s talk about how we can solve this together.

Potential Penalties for Gun Crimes in NY

The penalties for weapons charges in New York are no joke. Here‘s a quick overview of what you could be facing:

• Criminal Possession of a Weapon: Up to 15 years in prison
• Possession of a Loaded Firearm: Minimum 3.5 years, up to 15 years
• Possession of an Assault Weapon: Minimum 3.5 years, up to 15 years
• Possession During a Violent Felony: Minimum 5 years, up to life in prison

On top of that, you’re looking at potential fines up to $30,000 or more. A conviction can strip you of rights like owning firearms, voting, and holding public office. It’ll be a permanent stain on your record that could impact employment, housing, immigration status, and more.So yeah, the stakes are high. All the more reason to have an elite Brooklyn criminal defense attorney from Spodek Law Group in your corner, fighting for your future every step of the way.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

From our initial consultation, it was evident that Alex possessed a profound understanding of criminal law and a fierce dedication to his clients rights. Throughout the entirety of my case, Alex exhibited unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment. What sets Alex apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine compassion for his clients. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, alleviating any concerns I had along the way. His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. I am immensely grateful for Alex's exceptional legal representation and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney.

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
