Weapons/Gun Charges

Weapons offenses are serious and some come with mandatory prison sentences. If you have been charged with weapons offenses you need a criminal defense attorney to help prepare your defense.

We represent people charged with the following gun and other weapons offenses:

Possessing a gun (concealed, loaded or otherwise with no permit)
Possessing a firearm by a felon (concealed, loaded or otherwise)
Possessing an assault weapon
Possessing a weapon (illegal weapons include knives, daggers, brass knuckles, and other martial arts weapons)
Brandishing a firearm (displaying or waving around a firearm)
Discharging a firearm
Selling a firearm (unlawful sale)
Using a gun in committing a crime (assault, robbery, drug offenses)

Weapons are not just guns. A deadly weapon is defined very broadly and includes weapons listed above plus many more items including box cutters, tear gas, keys, a car or your own fist if used to harm someone.

Gun/weapon charges are aggressively prosecuted. Most carry the prospect of jail time (or state prison), expensive fines, and a criminal record that may make it difficult to obtain employment and housing.

In general, a weapons offense is a felony under Florida law, but possession can be charged as a misdemeanor in some cases. The penalties will vary depending on a number of circumstances. What type of weapon was involved? What was being done with the weapon? Was the weapon loaded and/or concealed? Does the defendant have a past criminal record? If you've been arrested and charged with a weapons offense in Collier or Lee counties, you need an experienced weapons attorney with a successful track record.
