Information About Weapons Offenses

We have experience in dealing with these types of charges and can offer you our honest advice and guidance, along with aggressive representation, to help you avoid maximum penalties.

Weapons charges range from possession of a firearm to assault with a deadly weapon. While some weapons charges are limited to the illegal possession or sale of a gun or other weapon, others involve the use of a weapon in the commission of a crime. These latter charges may add up to 20 years on any prison sentence you already face, such as the discharge of a firearm during the commission of a robbery.
