Weapons Charges

Weapons Lawyer-Defending UUW Charges and Weapons Cases

The gun laws throughout the country and in Illinois are constantly changing. A few years ago, the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled that the Illinois Unlawful Use of Weapon (UUW) statute was unconstitutional. Shortly after that, the Illinois Supreme Court agreed and struck a portion of the Illinois Unlawful Use of Weapon (UUW) law. Immediately after that decision, legal challenges started popping up all over the State of Illinois with challenges to the Illinois gun law. Because of the high rates of gun violence in Chicago, Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. In response to these Court decisions, the Illinois legislature changed the gun laws and added new gun laws to deal with the Court rulings. Illinois finally adopted a Conceal and Carry law which allows people to legally carry guns in public. Immediately after those Court decisions, UUW lawyer, James Dimeas, was able to bring back into court old cases of defendants that had been convicted of Class 4 UUW under the old law. UUW attorney, James Dimeas, was able to have many of those charges overturned and vacated.

Recently, Illinois enacted a Conceal and Carry law. This law allows you to carry a gun in public as long as you have a legal Conceal and Carry permit. However, if you have a gun in your vehicle, or on your person, and you do not have a Conceal and Carry license, you can be arrested and charged with a UUW.
