Carrying an Unlicensed Concealed Firearm Attorney get Charges Dropped in Boca Raton

The outcome of Unlicensed Concealed Firearm Case:

The State dropped the Boca Raton carrying a concealed firearm charges against Rossen Law Firm’s client, Michael B.

Client Concerns about Unlicensed Concealed Firearm Case:

Michael is a regular guy who did not want a gun charge on his record. He was scared of being charged with a felony. He was afraid of going to prison.

Facts about Unlicensed Concealed Firearm Charge:

Michael was driving in Boca Raton when he tried to pick up a prostitute. The prostitute ended up being an undercover agent who was helping conduct a prostitution sting in the area. He was driving a full-size Ford F-150 with a custom lockbox in his back seat. On top of the lockbox was a semi-automatic pistol in a pancake-style holster that he bought at a gun show. Michael was asked for a concealed weapons permit, which he lacked, and was charged with carrying an unlicensed concealed firearm.

Strategy of Attack on Unlicensed Concealed Firearm Case:

To defend against a concealed weapons charge, a Boca Raton criminal defense lawyer must first first evaluate two legal exceptions to determine if the exception fits the situation.

The first is the exception for securely encased firearms, such as in a glove compartment or center console with a closed top. Because the gun was on top of the lockbox and not inside, the exception did not apply to Michael.

The second is that if there was a push button strap on the gun – instead of in a pancake-style holster – Michael could not have been charged. Even though Michael missed both of these exceptions, we convinced the prosecutors that Michael had no actual intent to carry a concealed weapon and that Michael genuinely believed that the pancake-style holster was sufficient. We convinced the prosecutors Michael was not holding the gun in a harmful or threatening manner.

In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible.

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
