Decades Of Experience Defending Against Gun Crime Charges
Our attorneys have over 50 combined years of experience in criminal cases involving federal weapons violations, including cases involving silencers and other Class III weapons. We defend people accused of making straw purchases or lying on ATF gun purchase forms. We also defend people charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in both state court and the Southern District of Florida in federal court. We regularly litigate against the harsh federal sentencing guidelines and aggressively defend gun cases involving mandatory minimum sentences in state court. We often defend cases involving allegations of road rage in which a gun has been pointed or displayed. We know how devastating the “10-20-Life” sentencing rule can be in Florida.
Did you know that if you are convicted of domestic violence, the conviction affects your right to buy, own or carry a gun? Did you know that if you are placed on probation for even a misdemeanor offense, you cannot possess a firearm while on probation? Know your rights!
