Gun Enhancement Crimes

In the state of Florida, if a gun is used in the commission of a crime, additional penalties may be involved if you're convicted of the charges against you. For example, if a gun is used in a drug trafficking crime, you could face up to 15 years in prison as opposed to 5 years. In cases involving violent crime, gun enhancement penalties can also add years to your prison sentence. In general, when a gun is involved in the commission of a crime, the following enhancements apply:

• Brandishing or carrying a gun can add up to 10 years in prison
• Killing or injuring someone with a gun results in a life sentence
• Aiming or firing a gun in the commission of a crime can add up to 20 additional years of prison time

We also are experienced in handling cases in which the violent crime is related to a drunk driving charge, such as DUI manslaughter.
