A: If your stepson has been served with a warrant for gun possession in New York State, it's critical to consult with an attorney who has experience in criminal defense. You should not discuss the details of the case with anyone but legal counsel to protect your stepson's rights. An attorney can review the warrant and the circumstances of the alleged offense to determine the best course of action. It's important to gather any relevant evidence and witness statements that may support your stepson's defense. The attorney may also be able to challenge the legality of the warrant or the basis for the charges. Ensuring that your stepson does not speak to law enforcement without representation is crucial. Legal representation will navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system and work towards a resolution. Prompt action is essential in such legal matters.
