Firearms Crimes

Atlanta Firearm Defense Lawyer

Many people charged with a weapons offense have been caught carrying a gun illegally. Others have been prohibited from carrying a gun because of their past criminal record. Another frequent charge is purchasing a firearm on behalf of somebody else, commonly called a "straw purchase." If you have been accused of a gun offense, contact Stockbridge, Georgia, firearms defense attorney David R. MacKusick and schedule a free initial consultation.

For over a decade, I have defended clients throughout Georgia against serious state and federal gun-related charges. If you face serious weapons charges, do not put your freedom in the hands of an inexperienced attorney. Consult a seasoned firearms defense attorney with a proven record of defending people against charges of:

• Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
• Possession of an illegal firearm
• Possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime
• Illegal transport of a firearm across state lines
• Weapons trafficking
• Straw purchases (buying a gun on behalf of another person)

If the authorities accuse you of committing a crime while possessing a firearm, you may face enhanced criminal charges. Federal drug crimes carry particularly harsh penalties for individuals with a criminal record. I know how to assemble a strong defense against these serious federal and state criminal charges.

Over the years, I have obtained successful pleas and verdicts for many clients throughout Georgia. If you have been charged with a serious weapons crime, you need to speak with an experienced firearm defense attorney.
