The need to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer when one is facing a serious gun charge should be paramount.
Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
The most common gun charge crimes we see and defend include possession by a firearm by a convicted felon and illegally carrying a concealed firearm. Many gun charges carry minimum mandatory sentences if there is a conviction. For example, if you are found guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon you may face a minimum sentence of three (3) years in Florida State Prison. The State Attorney’s Office aggressively pursues prosecution in gun cases and you should not go into Court without an experienced criminal defense lawyer familiar with gun charge cases.
Searches and Gun Related Charges
Most of these gun related charges are brought following a search of a car or home/apartment. The good news is quite often the search, or portions of the search, may have been conducted in an illegal, or unconstitutional, manner. This is where a motion to suppress the evidence or motion to dismiss comes into play. If a motion to suppress is granted some, if not the majority, of the evidence may go away. This leaves the State little to work with and may ultimately lead to a reduced charge, favorable negotiated plea, and/or dismissal of charges. Of course, the facts of each case are different and no lawyer, pursuant to Florida Bar Rules, can promise guaranteed results. An experienced gun charges attorney will be able to investigate your case apply any defenses relevant and unique to the facts of your case.
