Orange County Weapons Charges Attorney
California Criminal Defense Lawyer
Weapons charges are serious and can result in jail time, fines and other penalties. Sometimes, a weapons violation or charge will result simply from ignorance of a law regarding possessing a certain type of weapon or the law in regards to where a person can keep that weapon. A person simply trying to be safe and protected may be charged with illegal possession of a firearm or another charge. Many weapons charges are felony offenses in California.
As an experienced defense lawyer, I understand how to help clients who are facing weapons charges in California. My name is Barney B. Gibbs, and I have been practicing criminal law in Orange County for over 25 years. When I take on a weapons case, I handle it personally.

By providing you with all the skill and knowledge I, as a lawyer, have to offer, I give you the best opportunity of avoiding criminal charges. In fact, I have been successful in having various criminal charges dismissed in over 1,000 of the cases I have taken on.
