    Why Choose Killian Law Group for Your Gun Charges Legal Needs

    Firearms cases in Maryland require attorneys who understand both state regulations and constitutional protections. Our team has successfully challenged illegal searches, improper traffic stops, and flawed evidence handling that led to firearms charges. We bring a thorough, detail-oriented approach to every gun case, ensuring that your rights are protected at every stage of the proceedings.

    Frequently Asked Gun Charges Questions:

    Do I need a permit to carry a handgun in Maryland?

    Yes. Maryland requires a Wear and Carry Permit to carry a handgun on your person or in a vehicle. Carrying without a valid permit is a criminal offense. Our attorneys can advise you on permit requirements and defend you if you are charged with a permit violation.

    Who is prohibited from possessing firearms in Maryland?

    Under Maryland law, individuals convicted of certain felonies and violent misdemeanors, those subject to protective orders, individuals with certain mental health adjudications, and those convicted of certain drug offenses are prohibited from possessing firearms. The specific restrictions depend on the nature of the prior offense.

    Can gun charges be dropped if the weapon was found during an illegal search?

    Yes. If law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights during a search, any firearms discovered may be ruled inadmissible. Our attorneys thoroughly examine the circumstances of your arrest and file suppression motions to challenge illegally obtained evidence.

    What are the penalties for illegal gun possession in Maryland?

    Penalties vary based on the specific offense. Carrying a handgun without a permit can result in up to 3 years in prison. Possession by a prohibited person carries up to 5 years, and using a firearm during a crime of violence carries mandatory minimum sentences of 5 to 20 years without parole.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about my attorney, Alex and the incredible job he did representing me after my car accident! From beginning to end, he worked tirelessly on my behalf, fought for my best interests, and ultimately secured an outstanding settlement that far exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was his dedication, persistence, professionalism, and genuine commitment to getting me the best possible outcome. I never felt like just another case. I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared and wasn't willing to settle for less than I deserved. Having a legal firm who is knowledgeable is important, but having one who is willing to go the extra mile and truly fight for you is priceless. I am beyond grateful for everything he did for me. If you are ever in a situation where you need an attorney who will advocate for you, work hard, and deliver results, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Five stars don't begin to express how much I appreciate him. Thank you for everything!

    I found Killian Law Group through a Google search and decided to contact them based on their outstanding reviews. I can confidently say they exceeded my expectations! I had the pleasure of working with Allison, who handled my case with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and care. I walked into the courtroom feeling extremely nervous and uncertain, but within minutes, I walked out with my case dismissed and an overwhelming sense of relief. Throughout the entire process, Allison was reassuring, attentive, and committed to making sure I felt informed and confident. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into one of the smoothest and most positive legal experiences I’ve had. I am incredibly grateful for her representation and highly recommend Killian Law Group to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective legal counsel. Thank you again, Allison and the entire Killian Law Group team, for your outstanding service!

    I highly recommend Killian Law Group! My son received a ticket in Ocean City about two years ago. At the time, I didn’t really know what to do, so I paid the fine, and unfortunately, it later resulted in an issue with his driver’s license being suspended. When I met with the attorneys at Killian Law Group, they immediately explained that they could reopen the case and fight to have the charges dismissed. They did exactly what they said they would do! The charges were dismissed, the two citations were removed, we are receiving a refund for the money that was previously paid, and the suspension connected to those tickets is being cleared. They were also very reasonably priced and willing to work with me. This was my first time having to hire an attorney, and I was expecting the process to be stressful, but it was the complete opposite. I didn’t have to constantly call, send emails, or chase anyone down for updates. They handled everything and kept us informed throughout the process. As a mother, having that stress taken off my shoulders meant so much to me. I truly felt like I got my money’s worth and that my son’s case was in good hands. Thank you to Oleg, Allison, and the entire Killian Law Group team for helping my son and our family. Any legal issues I may have in the future, Killian Law Group will definitely be the first law firm I call. I highly recommend them! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
