Loaded firearm in Client’s personal bag (Manhattan) Probation, no jail

2018

When going through a security checkpoint, our client was found to have a loaded firearm in client’s personal bag. When asked about it, client admitted it belonged to client. Case was covered in the press because client had the type of job that made the arrest newsworthy. Facing a minimum of 3.5 years if convicted, client turned to us to help. We reviewed the evidence and details of the search. After lengthy negotiations with the prosecutor, we worked out a deal involving only probation instead of jail.
