When Your Future Is on the Line, You Need More Than a Defense—You Need a Strategy

Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. If you're facing a firearm charge, the consequences can be severe—jail time, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record.
At Fiorentino Legal, P.C., we understand how quickly a gun charge can turn your life upside down. Whether it’s a misunderstanding, a first-time offense, or a more serious allegation, we’re here to defend your rights and your future with clarity and determination.

What You Need to Know About Firearm Charges in Massachusetts

Gun charges in Massachusetts can stem from many situations, including:
  • Carrying without a license (LTC or FID)
  • Possession of an unregistered firearm
  • Transport violations
  • Assault with a deadly weapon
  • Possession during the commission of a felony
Penalties can include mandatory minimum sentences and license revocation. Even a first offense can carry jail time—so early legal representation is critical.

How Fiorentino Legal Defends Firearm Charges

Attorney Christopher Fiorentino builds tailored defense strategies based on a full understanding of your rights and the facts of your case:
  • Constitutional scrutiny: We review whether the stop, search, or seizure violated your rights.
  • Detailed case analysis: Every fact matters—chain of custody, witness statements, and procedural issues.
  • Negotiation and litigation: We explore every option to reduce or dismiss charges and go to trial when needed.
  • Client-first support: You’ll be informed and prepared at every stage of your case.
Penalties can include mandatory minimum sentences and license revocation. Even a first offense can carry jail time—so early legal representation is critical.

Why Local Experience Counts in Gun Cases

The Greater Boston area, including Norfolk County courts, takes gun crime seriously. Local experience with prosecutors, judges, and police procedures gives your defense an important edge. Fiorentino Legal knows what works—and what doesn’t—in these high-stakes cases.
