Felon in Possession of a Firearm

Being charged as a felon in possession of a firearm in Louisiana is a serious offense that can carry significant penalties, including prison time and long-term consequences for your future.

If you’ve been arrested or charged, you need to act immediately. These cases move quickly, and early decisions can make a critical difference.

We defend clients facing firearm charges across South Louisiana, including cases in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court and the 22nd JDC in Covington.

What the Prosecution Must Prove

In order to secure a conviction, the prosecution must prove specific elements, including possession and knowledge. These details matter—and they can be challenged.

We examine:

• Whether the firearm was actually in your possession
• Whether possession can be legally established
• Whether the search that led to discovery was lawful

If any part of the process was flawed, that can impact the case.

Challenging Searches and Evidence

Many firearm cases involve searches of vehicles, homes, or personal belongings. If those searches were conducted improperly, the evidence may be inadmissible.

We focus on:

• Challenging unlawful searches and seizures
• Reviewing police reports and procedures
• Identifying violations of your constitutional rights

These defenses can significantly affect the outcome of your case.
