Domestic Violence with a Firearm or Weapon Charges

At the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky, our Riverside domestic violence defense attorneys realize the seriousness of being arrested for the offense of domestic violence with a firearm or other weapon. If you have been charged with this crime, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel at once. For more than 20 years, we have been providing our clients with sound, effective legal representation, working diligently to secure a favorable outcome in each and every case.

Domestic violence and firearms or other weapons is a dangerous combination that often ends in severe injuries or even death for the victim. However, our Riverside domestic violence lawyers know that individuals often make serious mistakes in the heat of passion or when involved in a heated argument. When you are convicted on charges of domestic violence, you will lose your gun rights. In California, whether you are married, living together, dating, heterosexual or of the same sex, if you are intimate partners, domestic violence laws apply. Whether or not a firearm or weapon was used during the altercation, these items will be at least temporarily removed from your property, household or wherever the alleged abuse took place.

If charged with domestic violence with a firearm or weapon in Riverside, it is critical that you seek the advice of an experienced domestic violence defense attorney. A conviction for this type of crime carries severe penalties; you will face steep fines and jail/prison time, along with a permanent criminal record that will mar you for life. The penalties that are handed out will depend upon a number of factors, including the details in your particular situation, whether it is your first offense, your criminal history, etc.

Contrary to the foundation on which our criminal justice system was built, if you are arrested for domestic violence and your firearms are confiscated, you are considered guilty until proven innocent. This is a strong reason to hire a competent Riverside criminal defense attorney at once; the sooner you act, the sooner your lawyer can begin working on a strong defense and protecting your rights. If convicted on charges of domestic violence, your gun rights are taken away. However, a skilled lawyer will work to prevent your rights from being taken away to begin with, by fighting the charge of domestic violence and attempting to have charges dismissed, or by negotiating a plea bargain, which essentially means that you will plead guilty to lesser offense, meaning less severe penalties.

If a protective or temporary restraining order has been issued against you, you are not permitted to possess or own a firearm for the duration of the order. However, if you are found innocent of the domestic violence charges and protective orders are removed, a Riverside criminal defense lawyer will work to retrieve your firearms by filing an application with the Department of Justice.

Domestic violence with a firearm or weapon are taken very seriously in the state of California. At the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky, we work diligently to protect the rights and freedom of those accused of domestic violence in situations where a weapon or firearm was used, or the firearms confiscated following a domestic encounter.
