Van Nuys Gun Charges

Gun charges are different than other type of criminal charges. They involve technical issues concerning the firearm, also issues concerning who possessed the firearm, as well as where was the firearm possessed.

Attorney Amster has handled just about every type of gun case since becoming an attorney over two decades ago. His experience, knowledge, and dedication to research gives you the edge when facing a criminal case involving guns.

An example of this knowledgeable handling of gun cases, can be demonstrated by the way his offices recently handled two negligent discharge of a gun cases. In one case the client was charged with a felony for firing a gun at the beach. At the preliminary hearing the attorney handling the matter for the client was able to convince the court through skillful cross-examination and persuasive argument that the prosecution did not prove that anyone was in danger as a result of the gun being fired. The court dismissed the negligent discharge of a firearm charge.

In the second case a client was charged with a felony for firing a gun to stop two women from fighting. There was no question that he fired the gun. But Attorney Amster was able to convince the court of the extenuating circumstances of the act. As a result of Attorney Amster's impassioned plea to the court, the judge reduced the charge to a misdemeanor and imposed a sentence of no jail time only probation and community service.
