Florida Firearms & Weapons Lawyer
In light of highly-publicized shooting incidents, state and federal authorities are allocating an increasing number of resources to address gun crime. Law enforcement agencies throughout central Florida have greater authority to remove guns from a home if they suspect that use it to commit a crime. It is now more important than ever to preserve your Second Amendment rights.
Weapons offenses, especially those that involve the use of a firearm usually bring serious felony charges that could lead to years of prison time and hefty fines. You could also lose your right to possess a firearm in the future if you are convicted of a weapons or firearms offense. I have experience representing people charged with weapons offenses such as:
- Improper exhibition of a firearm
- Convicted felon in possession of a firearm
- Unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon
- Unlawfully carrying a concealed firearm
- Improper exhibition of a firearm
- Improper discharge of a firearm
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon
- Illegal discharge of a firearm
- Shooting into a Vehicle
- Shooting into a Dwelling
- Possession of stolen firearms
- Robbery with a firearm
- Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon
- Drug-related Firearms Cases
Penalties for a Firearm or Weapons Conviction in Florida
The exact punishment you may face depends entirely on the circumstances surrounding your case, including your criminal history. However, anyone who is convicted of a firearms offense in Florida may expect any of the following consequences:
- Jail or prison time
- Probation
- Mandatory fines
- Driver’s license revocation
- Potential vehicle forfeiture

Even if you have never before been arrested for a criminal offense, don’t take your charges lightly. Let me fight the charges against you. I will examine all of the state’s evidence, determine whether the state’s evidence was lawfully obtained and whether or not your rights were violated. I will work tirelessly to carve out the strongest defense strategy possible and to get you the best outcome possible, whether your goal is to get the charges against you dropped, reduced to lesser charges, or if necessary, to obtain a lighter sentence.
