Los Angeles Gun Offense Attorney
Firearm violations can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the facts of the case.
Federal crimes involving gun offenses are extremely serious and can best be defended by an attorney with federal court experience. The laws pertaining to firearm violations cover a range of offenses including:
- Illegal firearm sales
- Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit
- Unlawful possession of a firearm
- Possessing an illegal firearm such as an assault weapon
- Illegal discharge of a firearm
- Illegal importing and exporting of firearms
- Use of a firearm in the commission of a crime
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
The use of a firearm during a crime such a robbery,
rape and
kidnapping, is a penalty enhancement that can add many years to a jail sentence. Whenever possible we will negotiate with the prosecution to have any firearm charges reduced, or the case dismissed.
