Actual and constructive possession require careful attention to location, control, access, and proof.
Massachusetts firearms defense
Firearm cases often turn on possession, identification, the legality of the police encounter, the search that produced the weapon, and what the Commonwealth can connect to the accused.
A gun case can look straightforward in a police report and very different once the stop, search, location, witnesses, body camera, forensic evidence, and possession theory are examined together.
No attorney-client relationship is created until representation is confirmed in writing.
