Practice Area
Firearms
Detailed case review with specialist firearms solicitors and barristers — from first police contact through to trial.
Overview
Firearms offences carry some of the highest minimum sentences in English law. Whether the allegation involves a prohibited weapon, conversion, or possession with intent, technical defences and expert evidence are essential.
How we help
- Instruction of independent ballistics and forensics experts
- Challenges to continuity of evidence and police search procedure
- Detailed analysis of intent, knowledge and possession
- Sentencing mitigation arguing exceptional circumstances against minimum terms
- Representation across magistrates, Crown Court and appeal
A firearms conviction usually means five years minimum. The defence work starts on day one — not on the morning of trial.
