A weapon or gun-related charge is nothing to take lightly.  Your right to bear arms is at stake, as well as your future.  People are often arrested for carrying firearms in public or in their vehicles.  These arrests are usually on felonies.  A felony offense will go on your criminal record, potentially affecting your current job and future employment.  The prosecutors in Los Angeles and Orange County are tough on individuals accused of crimes and the penalties are harsh.


You need a Los Angeles defense lawyer with experience.
At the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein, we have over 50 years of combined legal experience and have had two decades of daily contact with prosecutors and judges in Los Angeles and Orange County.  Therefore, we know who to talk to and how to ask for reduced charges.

We represent the following types of gun cases and more, including: 

• Illegal possession of firearms
• Illegal possession of a concealed weapon
• Exhibition of a firearm
• Assault with a firearm
• Use of a deadly weapon

We understand that innocent mistakes happen and we believe that your legal rights need to be protected.  Our goal is to keep you out of jail and to help you avoid a felony charge.  As our client, we will first and foremost try to prohibit your charges from being filed.  If the prosecution moves forward with your gun charges, we will focus on getting your felony offense reduced to a misdemeanor.  We are frequently able to help our clients get lesser charges, such as "disturbing the peace," or "public nuisance," which have consequences that are not as severe.  

Attorneys Bruce McGregor and Robert Ernenwein are former Los Angeles prosecutors who have represented thousands of clients from all walks of life.  Both defense lawyers were named Super Lawyers in 2009 in the Los Angeles Magazine and are frequently quoted as legal experts in the news.
