A weapons charge is a serious offense and should never be taken lightly, even if you believe you were in the right.
Here are the next steps to take if you’ve been charged with a weapons crime in Brevard County, Florida:
1. Keep Your Opinions to Yourself
There will be a time and a place for you to state your case and justify your actions. Now is not that time. Anything you say can and often is used against you in a court of law. Speak to no one about your case other than your lawyer. Not law enforcement, not a jail cell roommate while awaiting bail, not anyone.
2. Be Respectful
No matter how people in the criminal justice system treat you, you yourself won’t win any points by being disrespectful to anyone in law enforcement.
3. Hire an Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney
Florida takes weapons offenses seriously, and with your good name and reputation (as well as potentially your freedom) on the line, you need to get help from a talented attorney fast.
