Firearms Offenses

Los Angeles Gun Offenses Representation for Immigrants and U.S. Citizens

A gun offense affects immigrants in a somewhat more complex way than other criminal convictions. In most instances, conviction for a gun offense is grounds for deportation for green card holders, visa holders, or undocumented aliens. Under Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, it does not matter whether the gun crime was a misdemeanor or a felony.

On the other hand, gun offenses do not disqualify people from admission to the United States. If the crime falls under the “aggravated felony” category, however there is no waiver available for green-card holders — and there are very few exceptions.

The Law Offices of Mark A. Davis provides qualified, cost-effective criminal defense representation to people — immigrants and non-immigrants — in the L.A. area and throughout Southern California. If you have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of a gun offense, we are here to help you.

Criminal defense attorney Mark A. Davis is a former prosecutor himself and has considerable experience negotiating for reduction, modification, and dismissals of criminal charges.

If you are convicted, we may still be able to file a motion to vacate your plea bargain or your conviction in order to remove the firearms conviction from your record.
