Firearm Offenses and Weapon Enhancements
We have handled the full range of gun crimes and gun-related offenses:
- Felon in possession of a firearm
- Illegal firearms or concealed weapons
- Stolen or unregistered guns
- Armed robbery
- Assault with a deadly weapon
Possession or use of a firearm in connection with a drug crime, sex crime, assault, burglary or other felony is considered a serious escalation of the potential for violence. In federal court, it adds a mandatory five years of prison on top of the sentence for the underlying offense.
In some cases, the weapons charge is the more serious offense and that is where we focus your defense. In some cases, we can convince the prosecutor to drop the firearms enhancement: Was the gun in the car? Was it on your person but never brandished? Can police positively connect the gun to you or to a crime?
Whether you face stand-alone charges for a firearms offense, or the possibility of hard time for a gun-related enhancement, trial lawyers Bobby Phillips and Mandy Roberts will exhaust every defense to avoid prosecution, avoid a conviction or lessen your sentence.
Contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the FEARLESS defense you need.
