FFDP82 4 Posted July 2, 2010 Dan Schmutter. He is currently handling ANJRPC's OGAM case. So in other words, he's about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kwadz 11 Posted July 2, 2010 This seriously makes me want to go to law school and become an attorney just to represent legal firearms owners and fight for our rights in NJ. There seems to be way more demand than supply, here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 4 Posted July 2, 2010 My brother used Edward Zohn for his FID appeal. http://www.zohnlaw.com In Practice Areas -> Criminal Law: Firearms: In New Jersey, all of the basic firearms statutes are in the Criminal Code, which is a good indicator of the governmental bias against gun owners. Prosecutors and police never give up the chance to gain title to or destroy an individual's firearms, as well as prevent an individual form purchasing firearms in the future, no matter how specious the claim. They do it because they can - until they are stopped. We have extensive experience in representing gun owners with their legal concerns, which can be classified into three major areas: permit appeals (denials of permit applications or revocation of current permits); firearms seizures and confiscations (usually but not always as a result of domestic violence restraining orders) and possessory offenses ("assault firearms" and "high capacity magazines," etc.). We have also represented firearms organizations in legal actions against municipalities. It is very important with these types of cases to retain an attorney who has both an interest and experience in defending your firearms rights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob B 103 Posted July 2, 2010 Dan Schmutter. He is currently handling ANJRPC's OGAM case. So in other words, he's about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. From what I have seen, the case is being handled skillfully so far. Did something happen that I am not aware of? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've talked to him on two or three issues I thought I needed a lawyer on, and he called me back personally, the same day, and was very straightforward and didn't seem to want to grab my money before he told me what to do.

BCeagle 12 Posted July 2, 2010 This seriously makes me want to go to law school and become an attorney just to represent legal firearms owners and fight for our rights in NJ. There seems to be way more demand than supply, here! Its tough, attorneys practice where the money is and there isnt a lot of cash in gun rights. I think thats why many attorneys do some gun work as an off shoot of criminal work. I think the issue on gun rights law is that it takes so much time up that it is hard to do your regular work. Individual gun work isnt that bad because it is limited in time and you get paid by someone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulpup 98 Posted July 2, 2010 My brother used Edward Zohn for his FID appeal. http://www.zohnlaw.com Do you know how much that cost him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 4 Posted July 2, 2010 My brother used Edward Zohn for his FID appeal. http://www.zohnlaw.com Do you know how much that cost him? Not cheap unfortunately. I think it was around 5K. I dont know how that brakes down or how much was for what (research, correspondence, hours worked etc.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoNRA 12 Posted July 2, 2010 I think it'll just take a case that's strong enough to get the backing of powerful organizations. Then money really isn't that much of a headache. If anyone wants to question a lawyer about a civil action lawsuit, count me in.. I think a few orgs are already talking about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
