If you have been arrested for the felony offense of shooting at an inhabited dwelling, it is critical that you seek the guidance of an experienced Riverside criminal defense attorney. At the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky, we offer our clients over two decades of experience, along with the skill, knowledge and aggressive approach necessary to effectively defend your rights and freedom. If convicted on charges of shooting at an inhabited dwelling, you will face serious penalties/punishment that may include steep monetary fines, jail/prison time and a permanent criminal record. Our Riverside gun crimes defense lawyers work hard to protect our clients from harsh penalties, having charges dismissed when possible.

This is a criminal offense that is taken very seriously in the state of California. If convicted, you will not only face substantial jail/prison time, your gun rights will be banned for a lifetime; this is an offense that is also considered a strike under the California Three Strikes Law. However, even when arrested you are innocent until proven guilty. Our Riverside gun crimes defense attorneys work diligently to protect your innocence; we realize that people all make mistakes, some that they greatly regret later.

What constitutes a dwelling in this situation? Whether you shoot at an occupied house, car, camper, building, aircraft or other inhabited building/vehicle, you may be arrested for shooting at an inhabited dwelling. While the prosecutor will work to prove your guilt, a talented Riverside criminal defense lawyer has several defenses available that may work to your benefit. Often, accusations like this are made by others who may be angry or vengeful; even if guilty, you deserve a second chance.

Some examples of a strong defense that an attorney may choose to use to defend an individual accused of shooting at an inhabited dwelling include:

• False accusations/mistaken identity
• Self-defense or defense of others
• Insufficient evidence
• Accident

These are just a few effective defense strategies a Riverside gun crimes defense attorney may choose in your situation, depending upon the circumstances. If convicted and charged as a strike, the penalties you face may be doubled if you have a previous strike; if it is your third strike, you will face 25 years to life in prison. This is why it is so critical that you choose a capable, aggressive lawyer.

A prosecutor must prove that you discharged a firearm at an inhabited dwelling, and that you did so in a way that was malicious or with purpose. Without proving these two elements, you cannot be found guilty. However, you do not want to take any chances when it comes to your future and freedom, which is why you need skilled legal counsel on your side.
