Firearm Forfeiture Hearings
If you are involved in an act of domestic violence, or even simply an incident of medical crisis where you have done nothing wrong, the state can ask a court to forfeit your firearms and second amendment rights.
In New Jersey, when you are charged with an act of domestic violence and your firearms are seized, you could lose those weapons even if the charges are dropped. That is because New Jersey law is comprehensive when it comes to the reasons the State can raise to forfeit your firearms and second amendment rights. Additionally, the state can ask a court to forfeit your firearms even where no criminal act has occurred if it believes possessing firearms in your physical or mental state poses a danger to yourself or others.
It is essential to understand the repercussions of any decision you make in a criminal case, particularly when it involves firearms. I am a firm believer in our Constitutional Second Amendment Rights, and I will fight to ensure that your rights are protected.
