The lawyers at the Houston Law Office of Greg Tsioros are well versed in the many different defenses against weapons violations. One of the most common and effective strategies that we use is disputing the method in which the illegal item was located. Most weapons charges are usually based on the police finding a weapon in a person’s property or in their immediate possession. In some of these scenarios, law enforcement may not have had probable cause to search the accused or they might have gone beyond the boundaries of a search warrant. With any kind of unlawful search and seizure, an experienced Houston attorney may be successful at making a motion to suppress this evidence, often resulting in a positive outcome for the defendant.
