Firearm Enhancements & 10-20-Life Mandatory Minimums

Florida's firearm enhancement statute, Florida Statutes § 775.087, dramatically increases sentencing exposure in violent crime cases.

Mandatory Minimum Penalties

• 10 years for possession of a firearm

• 20 years for discharge

• 25 years to life for discharge causing injury

These enhancements can remove judicial discretion.

Strategic Defense Against Enhancements

We focus on:

• Challenging actual possession

• Contesting discharge evidence

• Litigating jury instruction precision

• Negotiating removal of enhancements

Mitigating or eliminating enhancements can drastically reduce sentencing exposure.
