The right to bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution, but there are federal laws in place to restrict certain individuals, especially convicted felons, from possessing firearms. Being arrested on federal charges of being a felon, or user,  in possession of a firearm can be daunting. At Nester Lewis, we specialize in offering robust defense strategies for individuals facing such charges, upholding the highest standards of justice.

Why Nester Lewis is Your Best Defense:

Federal Law Expertise: The nuances of federal laws are distinct from state laws. Our team has extensive knowledge and experience in navigating the intricacies of federal firearm charges, ensuring you’re equipped with the best defense.

Individualized Representation: Recognizing that each case comes with its unique set of circumstances, we tailor our approach to fit the specific details of your situation.

Diligent Investigation: Our team meticulously reviews the circumstances of the arrest, the evidence presented, and any potential violation of your rights, ensuring every defense angle is explored.

Areas of Defense in Federal Firearm Possession Cases:

1. Unlawful Search and Seizure: We rigorously assess the legality of the firearm’s discovery, challenging any Fourth Amendment violations during the search.

2. Actual Possession vs. Constructive Possession: Just because a firearm is found in your vicinity doesn’t necessarily mean you had knowledge of its presence. We carefully examine the evidence to challenge the nature of “possession.”

3. Validity of Prior Felony Conviction: If the predicate felony conviction is questionable, or if the client was unaware of the prior conviction, the firearm charge could potentially be invalidated.
