Clearwater Criminal Defense Attorney

Weapons Firearms and Gun Charges

Guns are pervasive in our culture yet many people do not understand gun-related laws, nor the civil liberty implications for a felony conviction. Most don't realize that convictions even for nonviolent felonies strip them of their rights to carry guns for hunting or even merely for display. Escalating violent crimes involving guns prompted Florida lawmakers to establish the 10-20-Life punishment policy as a gun deterrent. A weapons charge may result in jail time, fines, a criminal record and being denied the future use of firearms.

If you're under investigation from local Tampa Bay law enforcement, from the FBI or from a Grand Jury investigation you need to hire the best Clearwater Criminal Defense Attorney for your needs who will immediately begin working to have your case reduced or dismissed.

As a former prosecutor in Pinellas county, and with experience in dealing with a variety of state and federal weapons charges, Pinellas Crime Attorney Robert Hambrick knows how to look for weaknesses in a weapons charge. With the goal of having the charges dismissed, Robert will thoroughly investigate, move to suppress evidence illegally obtained, and provide a strong defense giving you the best possible chance for a favorable resolution of your case.

The legal procedures in Florida for selling guns and weapons are very strict and a Illegal sale can result in a merchant losing their license to sell guns and weapons. For an unlicensed dealer charged with an illegal sale of a weapon, there are stiff penalties including felony charges. Even harsher judgements are given for gun trafficking or weapons smuggling and offenders may not only face charges from the State, but possible Federal fire or weapons charges.

Some find themselves facing serious weapons charges because weapons counts were added to other criminal charges even if the weapon was not used. Firing or discharging a gun of firearm during a criminal act requires a minimum sentencing punishable by a 20 year mandatory imprisonment. Causing serious bodily injury from a gun or firearm during a criminal act requires a sentencing punishable by a 25 year to life minimum sentence. Clearly, it's important to have the best Clearwater Weapons Defense Attorney for your needs defending you.
