Kane County Weapons & Gun Charge Defense Attorney

Illinois treats gun charges seriously, and many are felonies. A weapons charge in Kane County, Kendall County, or Aurora calls for an aggressive defense.

Common charges include unlawful use of a weapon (UUW) and aggravated UUW (720 ILCS 5/24-1, 24-1.6), FOID Card and concealed-carry (CCL) violations, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Several of these carry mandatory minimum sentences and are charged as felonies.

We examine whether the search and seizure of the weapon was lawful, whether your possession was actually unlawful under the FOID and CCL framework, and whether the State can prove knowing possession. The Second Amendment landscape in Illinois keeps shifting, and we use every available challenge.
