Los Angeles / Orange County/ San Diego Weapons Attorneys

While the right to own and carry firearms and weapons is guaranteed by the Constitution, there are state and federal laws in place that regulate how we carry and use those firearms and weapons. As an example, in California, it is unlawful to carry a concealed firearm under certain conditions. Federal weapons charges include those related to the transportation and sale of firearms, as well as possession.

At Hoffman & Associates, we regularly represent clients who are facing charges related to possession or use of dangerous or deadly weapons and firearms. While you may be legally in possession of a firearm, how you transport it or where you have it can cause problems. For example, possession of a gun at an airport or on school grounds could get you arrested. In other cases, use or possession of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime increases the potential penalties

Los Angeles Weapons Lawyer

California has strict gun and weapons possession laws that are complex. Weapon charges are without question one of the most highly prosecuted category of offenses. The category of weapons is broad and may include such items as knives and brass knuckles.

The skilled weapons defense attorneys at Hoffman & Associates will work to protect your rights in cases relating to these and other weapons charges:

• Possession of a firearm without a permit
• Brandishing a deadly weapon
• Carrying a concealed weapon
• Sale of firearms

The severity of a weapons offense is directly affected by the circumstance in which the weapon is possessed or used. For example, displaying a weapon or threatening with a deadly weapon during a crime carries a much more severe penalty than if you brandish a weapon in a menacing way during a fight. Our knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys will work to protect your good record and fight for your rights relating to any weapons charge.
