As many of you know, you must first obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID) if you are going to purchase and own a gun. You are also required, however, to have that card in your possession even if you are transporting an unloaded firearm in your car. In addition to having the FOID card on your person, you are also required to transport that gun only in an enclosed case and in an unloaded capacity. Failing to follow Illinois' strict gun laws can lead to misdemeanor FOID card criminal charges or to more serious felony charges for Unlawful Possession of a Weapon. Unfortunately, with so many gun laws, even the most law abiding citizen can sometimes get tripped up. If you have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor offense for gun possession or for failing to have your FOID card in your possession, you should contact one of our experienced gun lawyers to get an assessment of your case. Don't take the chance, talk to a experienced weapons lawyer today. Gun charges are serious and can lead to the revocation of your FOID card and even jail. Our firm looks at every case to see whether the police had the right to stop and search you or the vehicle. If your rights were violated with an illegal search and seizure, our firm fights hard to suppress any statements or evidence. Our goal is to keep your record clean. If you have been charged with any of the following, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney: * Possession of firearms and handguns * Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID) violations * Knives or switchblade knives * Concealed weapons by adults or juveniles * Illegal sale or transfer of firearms * Unlawful possession of firearms by a felon * Other charges You need an aggressive weapons defense attorney.

"I can’t say enough good things about Zeba’s Law Firm. From day one, the communication has been excellent! Mr. Zebas and his team always keep me updated and make sure I understand exactly what’s going on with my case. His front office is professional, welcoming, and always helpful, which really makes a difference when you’re going through something stressful. What stands out the most about Mr. Zebas is that he genuinely cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond to do everything he can for you, and it’s clear that he’s motivated by helping people rather than obtaining another client. He’s down to earth, approachable, and makes you feel like more than just another case file. If you’re looking for a lawyer who combines skill, integrity, and compassion, Zebas Law Firm is the one you want in your corner. Highly recommend!"

"I cannot recommend Joe Zebas highly enough. My family and I have relied on Zebas Law Firm on two separate occasions and we were impressed by his ferocity and intelligence. While he can be quite intimidating, don’t let his tough exterior fool you. Beneath that lies a genuinely kind, generous, and selfless heart. He is not only a great lawyer but also a caring human being. His goodness made all the difference during a challenging time in our lives. I sincerely hope that neither my family nor I ever have to seek legal counsel again, but if we do, there’s no question that it will always be Joe Zebas. Additionally, his team is always very nice and helpful. It’s not uncommon for the main person you're seeking services from to be great, only for their staff to diminish the experience with injurious behavior. However, at Zebas Law Firm, his staff has consistently been friendly and supportive. Thank you, Joe and team, for everything! :)"

"I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the Zebas Law Firm who represented me in my recent case. From the very beginning, Joe exhibited an aggressive yet highly strategic approach, leaving no stone unturned. He didn’t shy away from taking on the toughest parts of my case and always stood firm, ensuring that my interests were protected at every step. What stood out the most was his professionalism. He maintained a calm, composed demeanor even under pressure, which instilled a sense of confidence in me throughout the process. He was consistently well-prepared, presented clear arguments, and communicated every legal nuance in a way that was easy for me to understand. He worked tirelessly, often going above and beyond to gather all necessary evidence and meticulously crafting a winning strategy. His willingness to fight for me was unparalleled. Whether it was in court, negotiating settlements, or facing difficult opponents, he never backed down. It was clear that he believed in my case and was fully committed to achieving the best outcome. Thanks to his aggressive representation and exceptional legal expertise, we won the case, and I’m beyond grateful for his dedication and support throughout the entire ordeal. If you're looking for an attorney who combines fierce determination with professionalism, this is the person you want on your side. Joe proved time and time again that he’s not just an attorney – he’s a true advocate who will fight tirelessly for his clients."
