Firearm Defence Services 

At Holborn Law, we offer specialist legal advice on all firearm offences, including:

• Entering into a building as a trespasser without reasonable excuse with a firearm or an imitation gun
• Non-compliance with firearm licence conditions
• Possession of an imitation firearm
• The carrying of a firearm or an imitation gun with the intention of committing an indictable offence, resisting arrest or preventing the arrest of someone else
• The illegal conversion of a firearm
• The illegal importation of firearms
• The illegal possession of a firearm
• The possession of a firearm when you have been previously convicted of a crime 
• The possession of a firearm with the intention to cause fear or violence
• Use of firearms to commit a crime, such as a burglary, robbery, manslaughter or murder

In many situations, you may face an array of other charges in addition to the firearm offence. For example, possession of a Class A drug with the intent to supply, kidnap or robbery. 

Our experienced criminal defence solicitors can help you to understand the full extent of the criminal investigation and the strength of the police evidence against you and any co-accused so you can make informed choices about your best options and your defence.

Firearm Sentences

The sentences for firearm offences depend on the nature of the offence as well as whether you have any previous convictions and the extent of those prior convictions. Each firearm offence has a sentencing guide. Our firearm offence solicitors will be able to talk through with you the likely sentencing framework if you are convicted of an offence and how best to mount a strong defence or plea in mitigation. 

How Our Firearm Offence Solicitors Can Help You

Any firearm offence is serious and could have far-reaching consequences for you. For example, non-compliance with firearm licence conditions could result in your not being able to legally own a firearm. If you are a farmer or keen sportsperson that may be devastating for you. At the other end of the scale, you may have been involved in a robbery but you did not realise that firearms would be used or that the guns would be loaded.

Whatever the circumstances of the firearm investigation, we will start by listening to you so we understand the circumstances you find yourself in and so we can plan how best to help you with your defence.

Our criminal defence service help includes: 

• Police station attendance
• Advice on the various types of firearms offences and the regulations 
• Obtaining disclosure from the police before your interview under caution takes place  
• Representation at interviews under caution
• Advice on police conduct of interviews and PACE codes
• Criminal legal aid advice
• First court attendance
• Bail applications if bail is opposed
• Trial preparation and investigations
• Court representation at trial or a sentencing hearing 
• Appeals advice

However long or complex the investigation the team at Holborn Law will protect your interests.
