Weapons Charges

Weapons laws are particularly complicated in the State of California, and hold strict consequences in many situations.  Jail time, crippling fines, community service, probation, restitution, potential lifetime ban from owning or possessing firearms, loss of child custody or parental rights, and even potential prison time are among the many serious repercussions that could result from a conviction of a weapons charge.  Many times, if your job requires you to carry even a simple box-cutter, you may even lose your job.  Weapons enhancements during the commission of other crimes can add decades of mandatory prison time if convicted.

Often times most people charged with a weapons charge did not even know they were breaking the law.  When you’ve been arrested for any type of weapons charge, it is important that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney before you are even charged so they can attempt to resolve the matter before charges are filed.
