Weapons Charges
Oftentimes a person can be charged with a weapons offense without even knowing that they were violating the law. The laws applying to guns are very strict in New Jersey. There are permit requirements, license requirements and regulations that govern the ownership and carrying of a weapon that can be complicated.
Victor Rotolo successfully argues before the NJ Supreme Court in a case of constitutional import, in which the Court ruled that a DUI conviction cannot be used in any later DUI case for sentencing purposes if, (1) the individual plead or was found guilty, and (2) the individual was not advised of his/her right to counsel and, as to indigent individuals, the right to assigned counsel.
