Weapon & Gun Charges Lawyer in Pembroke Pines, FL

Firearm charges in Florida carry mandatory minimum prison sentences. Attorney Tyler Williams provides precise, constitutional defense to protect your rights and your freedom.

Florida’s firearm laws are technical and unforgiving. Under the 10-20-Life statute (Florida Statute 775.087), possessing a firearm during certain felonies carries a mandatory 10-year prison sentence, discharging it carries 20 years, and causing injury carries 25 years to life — with no possibility of early release.

Whether the charge is carrying a concealed weapon without a permit (F.S. 790.01), felon in possession of a firearm (F.S. 790.23), or a firearm enhancement on an underlying charge, I scrutinize every aspect of the case — starting with whether the search and seizure that produced the weapon was constitutional.

Having handled numerous gun cases across South Florida, I understand the stakes. Many gun charges can be challenged through Fourth Amendment motions, constructive possession arguments, and challenging whether the defendant had knowledge of the weapon’s presence.
