Los Angeles Defense Attorney for Weapon Charges
If charged with a Weapons Charge, understand your rights
There are many types of weapon charges an individual can be accused of in California. One example in Los Angeles is the carrying of a concealed firearm without a permit. The California laws require many of these offenses to be charged as a felony, which can carry a long prison sentence and large fines.
When there is a violation of laws or ordinances that prohibit the manufacture, sale, purchase, transportation, possession, concealment, or use of firearms or other deadly weapons, then a weapons charge has been committed.
It is critical you contact as soon as possible one of our experienced Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys
from the Law Offices of Marks & Brooklier. We are skilled in handling all aspects of a weapons offense charge. Our team will protect your rights when you are facing any one of the following charges:
- Using a weapon while under the influence of alcohol/drugs
- Juvenile weapon offenses
- Discharging a firearm in a public place
- Brandishing a weapon
- Selling or delivering weapons
- Illegal possession of a firearm
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Improper exhibition of a firearm or weapon
- Manufacturing firearms or other weapons
There are different repercussions, depending on how you use a firearm. If you are charged with a weapons offense in committing another crime, the crime which may have been a misdemeanor can become a felony instead. There are serious penalties for using a weapon in the commission of a crime. If you were involved in a crime of burglary or robbery and also use a gun, the penalties and sentencing will increase considerably.
