Are You Under Investigation For Federal Weapons Charges?
It is surprising how little it takes for a U.S. attorney to tack on federal weapons charges when an individual is charged for a felony involving drug trafficking, fraud or other federal criminal charges. Even if the gun is owned legally and not used in the commission of a crime, weapons charges are often included, carrying significant penalties for a conviction.
I am the founding attorney of J. Pete Theodocion, Attorney at Law. If you are under investigation for ATF violations or have been charged with a federal weapons charge, I am available to provide immediate legal defense. I have earned recognition for my experience and successful representation for people under investigation for weapons offenses in Georgia, South Carolina and federal court jurisdictions throughout the southeastern United States.
Effective, Thorough Federal Criminal Defense
It is never too early to retain the services of an experienced lawyer. Gun charges will not disappear on their own. It takes active, aggressive representation to get the best outcome possible. I have extensive knowledge of the federal criminal justice system, including court procedures for hearings and motions, suppressing illegal evidence, and the sentencing guidelines for crimes involving:
- Illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
- Possession of a firearm in connection with a federal narcotics offense
- Illegal sales of a firearm across state lines
- Illegal internet sale or purchase of a firearm
ATF Investigation And Federal Prosecution
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is the primary federal agency that investigates and pursues gun crimes. The ATF works closely with other federal agencies, such as the DEA and FBI, but maintains its own team of investigators, databases and tracing capabilities. The ATF’s methods are sophisticated and well respected in law enforcement.
As a former federal prosecutor, I know how valuable the resources and evidence secured by the ATF are in building a case. I know how they target gun trafficking, straw purchase and interstate sales, to trigger federal jurisdiction. This is a difficult agency to contend with in defense. However, because I understand the tactics and usage, I’m in the exact right position to fight them when they are part of the government’s case against you.
