Illegal Transfer of a Firearm Felony Avoided

Our client was charged with illegal transfer of a firearm, a felony, and false reports to law enforcement, a misdemeanor. If convicted, he faced a possible jail sentence. He also faced being forever barred from owning a firearm again, even for hunting. Our client didn’t want that outcome and turned to our experienced Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers to represent him in his case.

We looked at the facts and evidence in his illegal transfer of a firearm and false reports to law enforcement case. The result was that our client was able to plead to the misdemeanor charge and receive six months of probation. He avoided the felony conviction for illegal transfer of a firearm and loss of his right to own a firearm in the future.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
