Former Prosecutor Kevin Peterford, Felony Lawyer Palm Beach County

Felony Firearm Lawyer Work with an experienced felony firearm attorney to best protect your rights.

If you are facing felony firearm charges in Florida, it’s important to understand the details of the charge, the potential punishments, and the possibilities for your defense. Especially because these charges apply specifically to those who have already been convicted of a felony, building a strong case is crucial for retaining your rights and protecting your freedoms.

Facing a charge of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon generally means that you have been convicted of a felony in Florida and are later found to be in possession of ammunition or firearms. However, these charges involve in-depth details when it comes to the type of possession, and these details can have important consequences for the outcome of your case and the potential sentence.

Because this charge is uniquely nuanced and the stakes are high, it’s crucial to work with a felony firearm attorney who is experienced in Florida criminal defense. Peterford Law has handled over a thousand cases and has experienced both sides of the courtroom as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. His years of experience and local knowledge can help in building the best possible defense for your felony firearm case.

What is a Felony Firearm Case?

Being charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon in Florida means that you:
  • Have been convicted of felony in Florida
  • Are younger than 24 and have been convicted of an act that would be charged as a felony for an adult defendant
  • Have committed a felony in another state or country
In addition, you have been found to be in possession of:
  • Ammunition
  • Electric weapons
  • Tear gas
  • Chemical weapons
  • Firearms

It’s important to understand the nuances involved with felony firearm cases. A knowledgeable felony firearm attorney like Peterford Law can help break down the details of your specific case and best prepare you for the next steps in your trial.

Punishments for Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon charges in Florida vary based on whether the firearm was under actual possession or constructive possession of the defendant.

Actual possession suggests that the firearm or weapon was physically in the hand or on the person of the defendant, in a container in the hand or on the person of the defendant, or within easy reach of the defendant.

Constructive possession means that the firearm was in the control of the defendant or has been concealed by the defendant.

Actual possession can come with more severe punishments compared to constructive possession, and requires a minimum sentence if convicted.
