Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon – Atlantic & Cape May County Defense Lawyer

Legalities of Convicted Felons Possessing Firearms or Ammunition

A person who has been convicted of a felony cannot legally possess a firearm or ammunition in the state of New Jersey. If you have been convicted of a felony and have been arrested for unlawful possession, it is important to know what you are facing and what potential consequences could happen upon conviction.

I am John W. Tumelty, and I have practiced criminal law in Atlantic City and across the state of New Jersey for more than 30 years. I am a New Jersey Supreme Court certified criminal trial attorney, and my law firm is devoted to defense in weapons offense cases, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon as well as other weapons charges.

After an arrest, make the smart decision to speak with a lawyer about your criminal defense. Contact my firm by calling 609-390-4600.
