A gun crime conviction can have lasting consequences that affect far more than your criminal case. Depending on the offense, you could face prison time, substantial fines, the loss of your firearm rights, and a permanent criminal record that impacts your future for years to come.

A gun crime conviction may result in:

✓ Jail or Prison: Sentences vary based on the offense, prior criminal history, and whether the charge is a misdemeanor or felony, with many firearm offenses carrying significant prison time.
✓ Loss of Firearm Rights: A conviction may permanently restrict your ability to legally own or possess firearms under Illinois and federal law.
✓ A Permanent Criminal Record: A conviction can make it more difficult to find employment, housing, obtain professional licenses, or educational opportunities.
✓ Long-Term Financial Consequences: Court fines, legal costs, increased insurance expenses, and lost income can create financial burdens that continue long after your case is resolved.
