Why Do You Need a Gun Defense Lawyer?

Any time your liberty is in jeopardy, a defense attorney is a critical asset. As your firearms lawyer, we’ll ensure that you don’t face jumped-up charges, that sentencing is appropriate (and minimized), or that the prosecution proposed the best possible plea deal.

Without our legal support, you may quickly find yourself in a situation where something you said to the police is used against you in court. Your rights could be violated without you knowing it, and your sentencing could be much more serious than it should be.

With the Law Offices of Ama-Mariya Hoffenden on your side, you can rest assured that you got the best possible outcome either in the form of a plea deal, minimized sentence or even in totally clearing your name.

  • Possession of a firearm during a crime – 10 Years
  • Discharge of a firearm in the commission of a crime – 20 Years
