Airport Crimes

Queens County Criminal Defense Attorney

JFK and La Guardia Airport Crimes

In the aftermath of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, airport officials and police officers have taken an aggressive posture toward suspected criminal activity in the nation's airports, including the two major airports in Queens County, JFK and LaGuardia. New York has enacted some of the toughest gun laws in the country and unlawful firearms possession in airports can carry substantial penalties. Additionally, the overzealous behavior of airport law enforcement officers can lead to improper charges involving drugs or controlled substances, as well as allegations of disturbing the peace or other similar conduct.

When you have been charged with a crime at or in the vicinity of one of the Queens County airports, JFK or LaGuardia, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests. At The Law Office of Martin D. Kane, in Kew Gardens, we have defended people throughout the New York City metropolitan area on criminal charges since 1971. We have extensive experience handling the defense of airport crimes and can quickly evaluate your case and identify the best strategies for your defense.
