Firearm Charges: Understanding the Stakes
Firearm charges in Florida are governed by strict laws designed to regulate the possession, use, and ownership of guns. These laws address various offenses, each carrying significant legal consequences that can heavily impact an individual's future.
Firearm charges can include the following:
- Illegal possession of a firearm involves having a gun without the necessary permits or licenses, often resulting in severe penalties, especially for those prohibited from owning firearms.
- Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit occurs when an individual carries a hidden firearm without a valid concealed carry permit, leading to misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the context.
- Use of a firearm in the commission of a crime increases the severity of the offense, with mandatory minimum sentences under Florida's "10-20-Life" law for possessing, discharging, or causing injury with a firearm during a crime.
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a charge applied to felons found with firearms, which can lead to severe consequences, including long-term imprisonment and loss of civil rights.
- Unlawful discharge of a firearm involves firing a weapon in a prohibited area or manner, which can result in criminal charges and penalties depending on the circumstances and potential harm caused.
Navigating these charges requires comprehensive knowledge of Florida’s state and federal laws. Our attorneys at Longwell Lawyers have the experience to build a robust defense strategy tailored to your situation, ensuring that every legal angle is explored.
Stand Your Ground Laws: Defending Your Rights
In Florida, Stand Your Ground laws allow individuals to use force, including deadly force if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent imminent harm. Codified at Chapter 776 of the Florida Statutes, the law can play a pivotal role in self-defense cases. Our legal team is skilled in applying these laws effectively to defend clients, ensuring that your actions are justified under the circumstances.
Airport Gun Possession: Addressing Serious Charges
Possession of firearms in airports poses unique legal challenges, often leading to federal charges. Even with proper permits, misunderstanding airport regulations can have serious legal consequences. Longwell Lawyers is experienced in handling such complex cases, working diligently to protect your rights and reduce charges wherever possible.

Gun-related incidents during road rage events are prosecuted vigorously. These can include charges from brandishing a weapon to more severe allegations such as discharging a firearm. Our team is adept at developing defense strategies that consider the specific circumstances, achieving the best outcome for our clients.
Aggravated Assault and Battery with a Deadly Weapon
Charges involving aggravated assault or battery with a deadly weapon come with harsh penalties, including mandatory prison sentences.

From the first call, and being assigned to Ms. Abraham as a client, to speaking with her and hearing, just how dedicated she is to achieving a positive outcome for her clients we knew he was in good hands. She called us just a couple of days before Thanksgiving and gave us the greatest gift..the news that the case was dropped, there was no longer need to worry from day to day about what was going to happen. From start to the now conclusion of this, Longwell's team has been THE BEST.
