After drug crimes, violent crimes that cause (or could cause) bodily injury draw some of the harshest criminal sentences. In particular, the state of California takes domestic violence very seriously and police are cracking down heavily on the owners of weapons, even law abiding gun owners.

I’m criminal defense lawyer Marc A. Legget. I represent people facing charges in the Los Angeles criminal courts for violent crimes and weapons charges. With more than two decades of criminal defense experience, you can trust me to fight for your rights.

Defense Against Any and All Criminal Charges

I have handled thousands of criminal cases in negotiations and in trial in state and federal criminal courts in Southern California. I can defend you against these and other criminal charges:

• Assault: Simple assault, aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon, domestic assault, child abuse
• Murder, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter
• Weapons Charges: Use of a weapon in the commission of a crime, armed robbery, theft of a firearm
• Weapons Violations: Illegal possession of a gun, carrying a concealed weapon in public, possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle, possession of a firearm for which the serial number has been defaced or removed, possession of a stolen firearm

It’s Easier Than You Think to Violate California Gun Laws

Many of the clients I’ve worked with have found themselves in violation of California gun laws without any intent to commit a criminal act. California gun laws are many and varied and can sometimes have unintended consequences. For example, you could be found guilty of carrying a concealed weapon in public if you are standing at your mailbox, on your own property but in a place that is accessible to the public.

It is a felony to possess a stolen gun, even if you don’t know that it’s stolen. The law also places a considerable burden on gun buyers to figure out if the weapon they are purchasing is legal or not.
