Doctor Sees Firearm Charge Dismissed

Our client was a medical doctor, who found himself is a precarious position when he forgot to unpack a firearm from his carry-on bag before trying to board a flight. In addition to the typical misdemeanor weapon penalties, this incident is also punishable through a TSA fine and potential collateral consequences to his medical license. We negotiated with the prosecutor and reached an agreement to dismiss the charge based on simply paying the fine set by TSA. Furthermore, we appeared at a TSA hearing and argued to reduce the required fine. As a result of our dedicated representation, we reduced the amount he needed to pay as a fine, arraigned for the dismissal of the criminal charge, and helped protect his medical license.
