Los Angeles Gun Crime Lawyer Fees and Firearm Defense Costs
A contingency fee is not permitted in a criminal matter, so the engagement is hourly or flat, and a flat fee is commonly set by stage — through the preliminary hearing, then through trial. California requires a written fee agreement under Business and Professions Code § 6148 where the fee will exceed $1,000. The charge determines most of the work. Penal Code § 29800 makes firearm possession by a person with a felony conviction a felony on its own, and § 12022.53 adds consecutive terms of ten, twenty or twenty-five years to life where a firearm is used in an enumerated offense, though the court may strike that enhancement in the interest of justice under § 1385. The suppression motion is where firearm cases are usually won or lost. A motion under Penal Code § 1538.5 may be brought at the preliminary hearing or before trial, and a felony defendant who loses at the preliminary hearing may renew it in the superior court, which is why the body-camera and search record is reviewed before any plea discussion.

Trade dress carries two extra elements. The claimant must prove the design is non-functional and, for unregistered product design, that it has acquired secondary meaning; Wal-Mart v. Samara Bros. (2000) held that product design can never be inherently distinctive. Under TrafFix Devices v. Marketing Displays (2001) an expired utility patent is strong evidence that the claimed feature is functional. Expressive use is a narrower defense than it was. Jack Daniel’s v. VIP Products (2023) held that the Rogers test does not apply where the mark is used as a source identifier for the defendant’s own goods, so parody is weighed within the likelihood-of-confusion analysis rather than as a threshold bar. A gray-market claim requires a material difference. Genuine goods lawfully made abroad are not infringing merely because they were imported outside the authorized channel; the plaintiff must show the imported product differs materially from the authorized one — in formulation, warranty, labeling or service support — such that consumers would find the difference relevant.
