Phoenix Gun Crime Defense Lawyer
Defending Clients Against Firearms Allegations in Arizona
If you have been charged with a firearms offense in Arizona, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer right away. Arizona has a long history of respecting people’s right to bear arms, but people who violate gun laws can still face serious penalties.
I am Zach Murphy, an experienced Phoenix gun crime defense attorney serving clients throughout the metro area. If you have been accused of a weapons violation, I can protect your rights, ensure that you are treated fairly and diligently defend you against the charges.
Taking the Appropriate Steps to Protect My Clients’ Rights
Arizona law contains many restrictions on the ownership, carrying and use of firearms and other deadly weapons. As an attorney who has been practicing criminal law in this state since 2002, I have the experience to effectively defend clients against weapons charges, including:
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
- Carrying a concealed weapon without a valid permit
- Carrying a concealed weapon where prohibited
- Unlawful discharge of a firearm
- Misconduct involving a weapon
I also have extensive experience defending clients who are facing heightened penalties for allegedly using weapons to commit violent crimes, drug crimes and other serious offenses.
As a trial-experienced former prosecutor, I am prepared to negotiate with the authorities on behalf of my clients and to defend them against their charges in court when necessary.
If you have been accused of prohibited possession of a weapon, a concealed weapon violation or any other gun crime in Arizona, do not hesitate to schedule a free consultation to discuss how I can assist you by contacting my office in Scottsdale at 602-788-2188 or by e-mail.
