Firearms & Weapons Offences

NSW firearms law is technical and strict. We defend possessionsafe-keepingprohibited weapons and alleged modifications under the Firearms Act 1996 (NSW) and related laws.
 
We challenge searches and warrants, test ballistic and classification opinions, and negotiate outcomes that avoid mandatory licensing consequences where possible.
Licensing and rural reality

Many Australians rely on firearms and a licence for farm work and to protect stock. Xavier is experienced with licensing, primary producer permits and genuine reason requirements, and will advocate to keep you working. We also warn that agreeing to an AVO can affect your firearms licence even without admissions, and we plan around that risk.
