The Firearm Firm - Orlando, FL

Premier Second Amendment and Gun Law Defense in Florida

Navigating firearm statutes in Florida requires an extraordinary depth of knowledge regarding constitutional law, justifiable use of force, and forensic crime scene analysis. Situated at 509 West Colonial Drive in Orlando, The Firearm Firm operates as Florida's premier legal practice exclusively focused on firearm laws and Second Amendment defense. Founded under the law offices of Katz and Phillips, P.A. by veteran attorneys David S. Katz and James D. Phillips, both former state prosecutors, the firm provides unyielding representation to gun owners, concealed carriers, and individuals forced to protect themselves and their families.

As co-authors of the best-selling book Florida Gun Law: Armed and Educated, now in its fifth edition, the attorneys at The Firearm Firm literally wrote the definitive manual on Florida weapons regulations. If you need a lawyer who understands how prosecutors build gun cases, how law enforcement misinterprets self-defense claims, and how forensic ballistics should be presented to a jury, this dedicated legal team offers unmatched knowledge across the state of Florida.

Stand Your Ground and Justifiable Use of Force Defense

Florida's Stand Your Ground law provides robust statutory immunity from criminal prosecution and civil liability for individuals who lawfully use force in defense of themselves, others, or their property. However, claiming justifiable use of force requires immediate, assertive legal maneuvering. Firearm owners who hire an attorney trained in forensic evidence and use-of-force dynamics gain a powerful advantage in pre-trial immunity hearings.

• Stand Your Ground immunity hearings seeking full dismissal of felony charges before trial under Florida Statute 776.032.
• Defense of home and vehicle claims under Florida Castle Doctrine statutes.
• Post-incident guidance, managing law enforcement interrogations, 911 audio analysis, and crime scene reconstructions.
• Forensic analysis involving blood spatter interpretation, gunshot residue examination, bullet trajectory, and distance determination.
• Evaluating the physiological effects of acute stress on witness memory and shooter perception during critical incidents.

Defense Against Weapons Charges and Criminal Allegations

Florida weapons offenses frequently carry mandatory minimum prison sentences under the 10-20-Life statute. The Firearm Firm combines prosecutorial insight with aggressive defense strategies to protect clients facing serious criminal defense matters.

• Carrying a concealed firearm without a license and unlawful open carry accusations.
• Improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon or firearm under Florida Statute 790.10.
• Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and armed burglary or robbery enhancements.
• Challenging Risk Protection Orders (red flag gun confiscation petitions) filed by law enforcement agencies.
• Restoration of civil firearm rights for individuals with prior criminal records or disputed adjudications.
• DUI defense and driving under the influence charges involving lawful firearm transport in the vehicle.
