Kevin125 4,772 Posted April 20, 2016 I think it might be helpful to have a pinned thread somewhere with a list of known firearms attorneys. I only know of two right now. Evan Nappen and Jonathan Goldstein (from that recent 2A panel Pizza Bob summarized). Since there seems to be a constant trickle of people that should probably consult an attorney when they post or soon after, these people could make use of that list. It would be unfortunate to lose track of attorney's like Jonathan Goldstein, who I never heard of until now, but appears to be experienced and is licensed in NJ. Some people have mentioned other attorneys that to find again would be a pain. If the powers that be want to be formal, and contact the attorneys to ask if they'd like to be listed, that's fine I suppose. Just means more work. But I was thinking something more informal that included a statement saying "NJGF does not endorse any attorney. This just a list.. " ...or whatever is the right thing to say.

capt14k 2,052 Posted April 25, 2016 Great thread idea. My only input I can give is don't waste your time trying to contact Nappen unless you have a high profile case. I contacted him a couple weeks ago and a friend of mine did a couple years ago neither of us got a reply or return call.

I believe he lives in Maine so I can understand only wanting to take particular cases, but that doesn't excuse the lack of decency to reply. Daniel Schmutter Hartman & Winnicki, P.C.

Screwball 483 Posted December 10, 2018 I believe he lives in Maine so I can understand only wanting to take particular cases, but that doesn't excuse the lack of decency to reply. New Hampshire... Federal stuff, Ryan Cleckner is definitely someone I’d call. Does classes on getting FFLs and carry permits (didn’t try either, and have both categories). Ex-military (Army Ranger sniper), but worked for Remington as a legal consultant. Also does a lot for the firearms community in regards to education... whether shooting or legal information. Listen to some of his podcasts, as the legal ones really do take a boring subject and explain it in an interesting way. https://www.ryancleckner.com/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sota 1,191 Posted March 19, 2020 I have a friend that could use someone to consult regarding NJ regs, NY regs, transfers, and estates. Short description: Friend's dad died, NJ resident. Will did not lay out disposition of his firearms collection. We are assuming wife will be now legal owner after disposition of estate. Her one son is a L.I. resident, and wants to take possession of the collection, and she's agreeable to that. Need to find out if there's any procedural pitfalls to watch out for.

You need an estate lawyer for all that. Unless you can get the firearms inherited directly to the son, the mom will have to go through all the legal channels or transferring the firearms to him. Wife can verbalize to the lawyer who disposed of the estate and the executor that the father intended for the firearms to go to the son and not her. The lawyer will know how to properly handle this.

DPNJ 3 Posted May 6, 2022 Just wanted to chime in. I know it was mentioned on this topic years ago that Nappen no longer answers or calls back. I wanted to say that I emailed him and he got back to me in 2 days. He spent 15 mins with me on the phone. Even though I told him I wasn’t in need of paid counsel , he was good about hearing my potential issue. Also I would like to say good things about Frank Pisano as well, he also spent time with me on the phone and allowed me to pick his brain. fyi I have been a member since 09 but have been a way for a while. I changed my screen name and it looks like it removed my previous post count and other info. Hopefully I don’t have another hiatus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,296 Posted May 6, 2022 I called one of the ANJRPC on-call lawyers (a membership benefit) years ago and got a prompt callback with a clear answer to my question. Unfortunately I don't recall who that attorney was. I called Nappen last year with a question, and also got a quick callback, a clear answer, and we spent the next 20 minutes on the phone discussing old Mausers. I suspect a lot has to do with how busy the attorney is when you call. If you catch them when they're up to their eyeballs in work, it could be awhile before you get a response.
