Gun Offenses

Firearms allegations cover a wide range of conduct — from possession to charge enhancements. The stakes scale with the charge, and the details of the encounter often matter a great deal.

Many gun cases involve search-and-seizure questions: how the stop began, what was actually observed, and how any firearm was located. These questions deserve careful, fact-driven review.

Liberate Legal helps clients understand the charge, evaluate the evidence, and approach the case with a clear strategy.

• Possession allegations following a vehicle stop or encounter
• Mandatory minimum sentencing
• Enhanced charges and sentencing
• Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon
• Cases involving multiple people at the scene

The impact of these cases often reaches further than the courtroom. Common considerations include:

• Your firearms rights
• Your criminal record
• Employment and professional licensing
• Pretrial conditions and freedom
• Travel and housing
• Reputation and community standing

• Read every court document carefully and note any deadlines.
• Preserve photos, messages, and any documentation related to the incident.
• Avoid discussing the case publicly or on social media. Clean your socials.
• Keep court paperwork organized in one place.
• Speak with counsel before making statements or entering a plea.

• Volunteering statements to investigators without legal guidance.
• Discussing the facts of the case with anyone besides counsel.
• Posting all your guns on social media.
• Entering a plea without first reviewing the evidence with counsel.

• You've been arrested or cited for a firearms allegation.
• A firearm was recovered during a stop or search.
• You have a prior record that could affect exposure.
• The case involves a license, permit, or eligibility question.
• You're unsure exactly what was charged.

Every case is different. Liberate Legal helps clients:

• Review the police report, statements, and any documentation in detail.
• Identify procedural and evidentiary issues that may matter.
• Explain realistic options and likely next steps.
• Communicate with the court and prosecutors on your behalf.
