Effective Defense for Felony Weapons Charges in Florida
Weapons charges in the state of Florida often carry minimum mandatory sentences and often are charged in conjunction with other crimes, including drug offenses and violent crimes. The severity of a weapons charge is often impacted by the circumstances under which the weapon is used or possessed. Weapons can also elevate the seriousness of these other offenses in terms of possible penalties and can put you at jeopardy of losing your freedom and your civil rights. Having an effective criminal defense attorney is the only way to ensure that your rights are protected in the process.
At the Law Office of A. Randall Haas in Fort Lauderdale, I have represented a multitude of clients facing charges for the possession or use of dangerous weapons. These cases are aggressively prosecuted, but with an experienced lawyer on your side, you provide yourself a better chance of a successful outcome.
Federal and State Weapons Charges
Weapons law charges can be brought at the state or federal level and can be applied not only to firearms, but also to other weapons, such as knives and explosives. My firm defends individuals against weapons charges that include:
- Illegal sale of weapons
- Carrying concealed weapons
- Unlawful discharge weapons
- Possession of unlawful or stolen weapons
- Possession of altered or defaced weapons
- Armed robbery, aggravated assault and other weapons-related offenses
Minimum mandatory sentences arising from weapons have become more the rule than the exception in Florida, and if they are not waived by prosecutors, in most circumstances they must be imposed by the court. I will work hard to sort out the charges against you, investigate the charges and develop an effective strategy for your defense. I will also look at how evidence was obtained in your case and if law enforcement and prosecutors were acting illegally.
