Why Experience Matters

Felony Firearm is particularly serious. It carries a mandatory 2-year prison sentence that must run consecutive to (added after) the sentence for the underlying felony. Second offense is 5 years mandatory, third is 10 years. We defend aggressively against felony firearm charges. Felon in Possession prohibits anyone with felony convictions from possessing firearms. Penalties include up to 5 years prison plus permanent loss of gun rights. Defenses include: challenging whether you actually possessed the firearm, questioning felony conviction validity, and arguing constructive possession issues. CCW defenses include: valid CPL (concealed pistol license) exists, weapon wasn't actually concealed, improper search and seizure, lack of knowledge weapon was present, and necessity or self-defense. Michigan's gun laws have exceptions. We assert all applicable exceptions and defenses. Many weapons cases involve vehicle searches. We challenge illegal searches and question whether police had probable cause or consent. Gun rights restoration is possible in some cases after convictions. We help eligible clients pursue rights restoration. Weapons offenses often accompany other charges. We defend the complete case, not just weapons charges in isolation. With mandatory minimums for many weapons violations, skilled defense is crucial. The Browning Law Firm provides aggressive weapons offense defense.
