Orlando Weapon Offenses Attorney

In the state of Florida, the criminal penalties for a conviction of many weapon offenses are extremely harsh. In fact, you could face serious consequences including substantial fines, jail/prison time, a permanent criminal record, and damage to your career and reputation. One example of just how harsh the criminal penalties are is the possession of a gun at the time you allegedly committed a crime, which could be 10 years. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, our Orlando weapon offenses defense lawyers are dedicated to providing you with the skilled, aggressive legal representation you need to reach the best possible result.

The 10-20-Life Statute included in 775.087 was entered into Florida law in 1999. This statute stipulates that:

• When an offender possesses a firearm/gun or other destructive device while committing or attempting to commit certain felonies, he/she will face a minimum prison term of 10 years
• If the firearm is discharged, the minimum prison term will be 20 years
• If someone is injured or killed by the firearm/weapon during the commission/attempted commission of the crime, the offender will face a minimum prison term of 25 years and maximum of life in prison
• A convicted felon who is found in possession of a firearm will face a minimum of three years in prison
• The minimum prison term will be served consecutively to any other imposed prison term

As you can see, the consequences of a conviction are extremely serious and will affect every aspect of your life.
