Gun Crime Lawyer Foster City, CA

Gun crime charges can involve a wide range of allegations, from unlawful possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon, to possession of a loaded firearm, use of a firearm during the commission of a crime, or violations related to prohibited weapons. In California, gun laws are strict, and penalties can be severe, especially when prosecutors allege prior convictions or enhancements. Even before a case reaches court, you may face confiscated firearms, travel restrictions, and damage to your personal and professional reputation.

Our Foster City gun crime lawyer takes a detail-oriented, hands-on approach to every case. We will review the circumstances of your arrest, analyze how the firearm was discovered, and examine whether law enforcement followed proper search and seizure procedures. We’ll also assess whether charges were enhanced in any way, or unsupported by the available evidence. From early case evaluation through trial, we work to reduce, dismiss, or challenge charges wherever the facts and law allow.

For Gun Crime Cases, Experience Matters

Gun cases often turn on technical details, including how a weapon was possessed, where it was located, and whether law enforcement acted within the bounds of the law. Experience matters because prosecutors regularly pursue harsh penalties and enhancements that can dramatically raise the stakes.
