Protecting The Rights Of Those Charged With Gun-Related Crimes
In Ohio, you can find yourself facing felony gun crime charges without even knowing you committed a crime. People who carry concealed weapon licenses must follow strict procedures to the letter, and people with certain felony convictions on their record are not allowed to carry a firearm at all.
Whatever weapon charges you face, it is important to consult with a skilled weapons defense lawyer before making any statement to the police. At Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima, we can provide you with the strong defense representation you need for this serious criminal charge in Warren, Butler or Hamilton County.

Weapon Enhancements
When a crime such as robbery or assault is committed while the defendant is carrying a gun, the penalties are increased significantly. Prosecutors can use weapon enhancements to compel defendants to accept an unreasonable plea bargain, but you should consult with a knowledgeable attorney before accepting any such offer. Our lawyers can help you understand your options, while fighting the weapon enhancement and underlying charge.
