Firearms Violations

If you are charged with a crime and you were in possession of a weapon at the time — whether or not you used it — you may be facing significantly more serious penalties.

Florida laws hit hard on individuals convicted of weapon and firearms violations. Florida’s 10-20-Life laws assign minimum mandatory sentences for individuals charged with gun crimes who 1) pulled a gun, 2) fired a gun, or 3) shot someone.

If you have been charged with a firearms offense, contact me, attorney Richard Nick Kelley. I have more than 40 years of experience defending people charged with serious crimes. I offer a free legal consultation in my Orlando or Kissimmee law office.
