Bringing Proven Trial Lawyers to Your Case

Oklahoma has fairly liberal gun laws. As an “open-carry” state, you are free to buy and openly carry guns without a permit. Guns are still regulated by the state, however, which governs who is allowed to carry guns and where they may carry them. Certain other weapons are generally banned, such as switchblades. Although some weapons offenses are charged as misdemeanors, any crime that is committed by using a weapon is most often charged as a felony. Jail or prison time, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record are all real possibilities if you have been charged with a gun crime or other weapons offense.

If you have been charged with a weapon offense, a trial-proven former prosecutor at Nichols Dixon can assess the evidence against you. Whether your case ultimately calls for skillful negotiation to achieve manageable consequences or well-prepared trial defense in the effort to win an acquittal, one of our Norman weapons charges defense attorneys will be with you every step of the way.
