Defense Against Unregistered and Ghost Gun Charges

California has some of the strictest firearm regulations in the country, including laws governing unserialized or so called ghost guns. Individuals may face serious criminal charges for possessing, manufacturing, assembling, or transferring firearms that do not comply with state registration and serialization requirements. These cases can involve felony exposure, firearm prohibitions, and significant long term consequences.

We represent individuals accused of possessing unregistered firearms, improperly assembled kits, or firearms alleged to lack lawful serialization. Whether the issue involves a misunderstanding of evolving laws or an aggressive enforcement action, we work to protect your rights and carefully assess the facts of your case.

Analyzing Compliance and Law Enforcement Conduct

Ghost gun laws have changed rapidly in recent years, creating confusion around compliance requirements, deadlines, and reporting obligations. A key part of the defense involves reviewing when the firearm was acquired or assembled and whether proper notice and procedures were followed by authorities.

We closely examine search warrants, vehicle stops, and home searches to determine whether evidence was lawfully obtained. If law enforcement violated constitutional protections, we pursue appropriate motions to suppress improperly gathered evidence.

Strategic Defense Focused on Your Future

Convictions involving unregistered firearms can affect employment opportunities, professional licenses, and long term firearm rights. We evaluate potential defenses, challenge the prosecution’s evidence, and explore options for dismissal or reduction when appropriate.

If your case proceeds to court, we are prepared to present a clear and well supported defense. Our objective is to minimize the impact of these charges and safeguard your record and future.
