Denver Gun Crime Lawyers

Denver gun crime lawyers know that the Second Amendment is among the most important liberties secured by the United States Constitution. As the Supreme Court has made clear time and time again, “the right to keep and bear arms is among the ‘fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty.'” United States v. Rahimi, 144 S. Ct. 1887, 1889 (2024).

At Evergreen Attorneys, we are proud to represent individuals across the country who are charged with breaking the law in connection with the possession, use, or carrying of a firearm.

If you are facing the uncertainty of a federal gun crime investigation, you deserve the absolute best team at your side from day one.

You deserve, not need, a federal criminal defense team with a strategic vision to help guide you to hope and a plan for your defense.

What Makes Evergreen Attorneys Different?

There are dozens if not hundreds of lawyers you can find on the internet who claim to be experienced federal criminal defense lawyers. Almost all of these Denver gun crime lawyers claim to be “experts” or “fighters” who will give you “aggressive representation” or something similar.

Here are some of the things that we think makes Evergreen Attorneys different from the pack:

• We only focus on federal cases. No family law clients, no medical malpractice, no transactional lawyers.
• We only employ experienced partner-level attorneys. No fresh-faced associates right out of law school.
• We are a boutique federal white collar law firm. Every decision is tailored towards providing client-first exceptional criminal defense.
• Evergreen Attorneys handles federal cases nationwide. We are not interested in being golfing buddies with the prosecutor.

Experienced Denver Gun Crime Lawyers

Firearms cases are one of the most commonly used charges in federal court in Denver and across the country. Federal authorities see federal gun crime charges as a blunt instrument to seek harsh penalties against U.S. citizens with lengthy prison terms on the line.

That is why you need a federal lawyer who understands the ins and outs of federal gun crime charges.

This article is not our first rodeo into the area of federal firearm defense. Read some of our previous posts here:

Our Gun Crime Experience at U.S. Supreme Court

Evergreen Attorneys are honored to represent Mr. Ali Danial Hemani at the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Hemani is charged with violating 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3) by being an “unlawful user” of a “controlled substance” contrary to federal law.

What does that mean in practice? It means that Mr. Hemani is charged with a federal felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, for smoking marijuana and owning a gun that he kept in a locked safe in his home.

He is not charged with being high while carrying or using his gun. You can read more about this incredibly important case that we are proud to be a part of at the following places:

• https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/12/an-off-ramp-for-the-courts-next-big-gun-case/

At Evergreen Attorneys we think that this case and this law represent a draconian overreach on the behalf of the federal government. The Second Amendment is not a second-class constitutional right. And the federal government should not have carte blanche to permanent disarm anyone who regularly consumes too much wine with dinner or smokes marijuana recreationally.

Our representation of Mr. Hemani is part of our broader commitment to forcing the federal government to protect the Second Amendment rights of U.S. citizens.

We have challenged the law being used against Mr. Hemani as being unconstitutional. We also believe that many other categorical disarmament laws (non-violent felony, etc.) are not consistent with our nation’s historical tradition as required by Bruen.

Denver Firearm Lawyer Prior Writings

At Evergreen Attorneys, we have recognized for many years that the state of Colorado and the federal government try to criminally punish people in ways prohibited by the Second Amendment. Being Denver gun crime lawyers is not something new to us.

In fact, when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its seminal Second Amendment decision in Bruen, our founding partner was quick to realize the practical impact in federal gun cases.

That is why the National Criminal Defense Lawyers Association invited Zachary Newland to write an article on the subject for members. That article “What’s Brewin with Bruen,” was published in 2023 and is available here: https://www.nacdl.org/Article/JanFeb2023-WhatsBrewinWithBruenANewLandscapeforDef

“Contrary to what some commentators have said, Bruen still requires a two-step analysis when determining if a firearm regulation or criminal law violates the Constitution.

Step One: First, courts must ask a strictly textual question: does the Second Amendment’s plain text cover the defendant’s conduct? [23]

If the answer is yes, one can move to step two. If the answer is no, then the conduct is not protected by the Second Amendment and the regulation is lawful.

Step Two: Second, the government must justify its regulation as consistent with the history and traditions of firearm regulation in the country based on evidence at or near the time the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791. [24]”
