Federal Gun Charge Lawyer Serving Los Angeles
Charged with a Federal Weapons Offense in Los Angeles?
A gun offense is a violation of laws that restrict the use of a gun in certain circumstances. Some of the common violations are due to the sale, purchase, transportation, possession or concealment of a firearm or other deadly weapon. California laws are strict in this regard, and many types of gun offenses can be charged as a felony. Felonies often have harsher prison sentences and larger fines associated with them. If you or someone you know has been charged with a gun offense, it is critical you contact one of our skilled Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys from the Law Offices of Marks & Brooklier. Our dedicated legal team will be able to represent you if you are facing any of the following charges:
- Selling or delivering guns

- Manufacturing firearms or other guns
- Discharging a firearm in public
- Brandishing a gun
- Illegal possession of a firearm
- Carrying a concealed gun
- Improper exhibition of a firearm or guns
Being charged with a gun offense is a serious crime. Depending on how the gun was used, you may find different penalties applicable to the situation. If a crime was committed with the use of a weapon, the crime will likely become a felony rather than a misdemeanor. The penalties for gun violations are severe and can result in considerable jail time. Any crime committed while using a gun will automatically have increased penalties and sentences.
