Firearm Violations

Accused Of A Firearm Offense And Unsure How Serious Things May Turn Out?

Firearm violations are prosecuted aggressively in both state and federal courts, often with mandatory penalties attached. If you are stopped during a traffic stop, subjected to a search, or questioned about a firearm, the situation can escalate quickly, even when you believe you were acting lawfully. Carry, transport, and possession rules vary by jurisdiction, and conduct that may be legal in one setting can expose you to criminal charges in another.

Once law enforcement becomes involved, early decisions, like what you say, how a firearm is discovered, or how your prior history is characterized, can affect whether charges are enhanced, whether mandatory sentencing applies, and whether your right to possess firearms is permanently impacted.

Firearms violation lawyer Nancy Kardon of Kardon Law represents individuals facing firearm-related allegations throughout Colorado and California. With offices in Boulder, CO, Denver, CO, and Torrance, CA, she steps in to assess your exposure, challenge the basis of the charges, and protect your rights. For you, this means identifying risks and defenses before they harden into permanent consequences.

Why Strategic Firearm Defense Matters

Firearm laws are highly technical and vary significantly between jurisdictions, creating a serious risk for you if you believe you have been acting lawfully.

Nancy Kardon approaches firearm cases by focusing on how the charge arose, whether through a traffic stop, search, prior conviction, or alleged use during another offense, and by identifying where the prosecution’s theory may be overstated or unsupported.

She examines how the firearm was located, whether law enforcement complied with constitutional requirements, and whether the federal firearms violation you’re up against can actually be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Through early motion practice, targeted negotiation, and trial preparation when necessary, she works to limit your exposure, challenge any unlawful searches or enhancements that you may be facing, and protect your constitutional and statutory rights throughout your entire time in the criminal justice process.

Are Conflicting Gun Laws Or Prior History Complicating Your Case?

Many firearm cases hinge on technical issues that most people never anticipate, such as registration requirements, transport rules, permit reciprocity, or eligibility restrictions tied to prior charges or convictions. Conduct that is lawful in one state can result in criminal liability in another, particularly when firearms are transported across jurisdictions or discovered during a stop or search.

Once a case reaches this stage, early missteps can significantly narrow available options. A knowledgeable firearm possession lawyer like Nancy Kardon can untangle overlapping statutes, analyze how your specific circumstances intersect with the law, and identify viable defenses before positions harden.

Steps Toward Protecting Your Rights

The earlier we become involved, the more influence you can retain over how your firearm case develops. Early representation means you can engage with law enforcement and prosecutors before charging decisions and enhancements are finalized, advise you during critical interactions, and evaluate whether evidence was obtained through lawful searches and seizures.

Nancy Kardon examines body-worn camera footage, warrant affidavits, discovery materials, and forensic reports to identify constitutional violations, evidentiary gaps, and overbroad charging theories. From there, she determines whether pretrial motions, negotiated resolution, or trial preparation best serve your position at each stage of the case.

Defend Your Freedom Before The Stakes Get Higher

Firearm charges carry consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom, affecting employment, licensing, and civil liberties. With a focused defense and clear strategy, it is often possible to challenge the narrative early and protect what matters most.
