Strong Representation When Facing Weapons Charges
Florida's 10-20-life laws are strict for people convicted of a weapons charge. If you are convicted of possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime, then you are automatically facing at least 10 years in prison, even if you didn't show or discharge the weapon.
If you discharge a firearm during the commission of a felony or shoot someone, then you may be facing mandatory 20-year to life sentence.

The Lawyer to Call When You Are Facing Felony Gun Charges
If you are convicted of actually possessing a gun, whether you fired it or not, during the commission of a crime, you will automatically face mandatory minimum sentencing. Even if you are caught stealing an iPod from an unattended parked car, but you're caught with a gun in your pocket, you can suddenly be facing 10 years in prison.
We can help you seek to reduce the charges against you or argue your case in court, if accused of being in possession of a gun while committing a crime such as:
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Theft
- Assault
- Battery
- Sex Crimes
