New York City Criminal Lawyer: Knife Cases
It seems odd to most that knives that can be purchased at everyday hardware stores and even nationwide retail stores with hardware sections are illegal to possess. But this is true. Most people arrested on New York City knife possesion charges are arrested for possesion of a gravity knife. These knives are commonly used by people who work in construction and other similar trades. Simply possessing this kniffe, with no intent to use unlawfully against someone else can be the basis of an arrrest and a prosecution.
What is more interesting is that many gravity knife cases can be dismissed by having your attorney inspect the knife that was recovered. Jason Steinberger always inspects the knife to make sure that knife recovered meets the legal definition of a gravity knife. If it does not, Mr. Steinberger files a motion to dismiss.
Becasue there are so many ways to get your case dismissed, call Jason Steinberger and make an appointment ot discuss your case.
