Do I need a Phoenix criminal lawyer if I have been accused of unlawfully discharging a firearm?

A: Yes. The unlawful discharge of a firearm is considered a criminal offense in Arizona. Therefore, don’t expect the prosecution to go easy on you. They view weapons charges as serious offenses and will try to make sure you pay for your alleged crime.

An experienced Phoenix criminal lawyer will be able to review the details of the allegations, as well as the circumstances, to build a strong defense on your behalf. An attorney will be able to explain your legal rights and help you get your charges either dropped or lessened.
