FID Denial Lawyer

Evan Nappen

 

It says in my post that I cannot afford Nappen

1500 max for lawyer fees is going to be hard to find... 

 

If I were in your position, I wouldn't cheap out on the lawyer aspect.  Maybe you could contact your mayor and/or strike force?

I have A good Attorney for family and business matters. But that is what he does. If I needed an Attorney for gun law. I would look for one that is knowledgeble in gun law.

Dont know that it would be Nappen, But it would someone with 2A background.

 

$1500.00 for an Attorney to work for you, Knowing that you will be in court at least once is not A lot.

Your budget is unrealistic.  Others on Facebook and/or this Forum went with the Low-Baller and now he asked for double what he originally quoted.  Be careful!

My budget is literally all I am able to spend on an issue like this.  I am extremely serious about this, and if I had more to spend on it trust me I would.

 

Not trying to sound harsh or out of place here. But maybe you should take A couple steps back and wait for the actual denial, If it gets denied.  Meanwhile you need to get any and all paperwork that you can to backup your case from back at the times that he was questioning you about.  Your going to need it with an Attorney also if you get to that point.

I understand you have A budget. But chasing paperwork and so on is going to increase legal fees, No matter what an attorney quotes you.  

The cost to you will be A whole lot different when you actually sign A retainer with any Lawyer.   Read the fine print when he hands the retainer document to you.

Maybe the guys on here who think we whine too much about the NJ system will give you a few dollars.

 

(I'm sorry for your plight brother. i wish I had good ideas for you)

Just called the number listed on that site, he quoted me anywhere from 1 to 2 thousand dollars

 

hes know to add on thousands after he takes your case. just a heads up

Just called a range of lawyers and I have a ton of different estimates.

Wait for a denial letter, if one is coming. Appeal if yourself and save the money. You have nothing to prove. The burdon is on them. If the Superior Court Judge rules in their favor, reapply, get denied, then hire an attorney.

Great advice and I was considering this option.  Any guage of how difficult it is to file the appeal?  Any guidelines or user-generated process for filing an appeal, and by that I mean is there already an existing thread or website with information/tips/tricks for filing an appeal?

 

Thanks again

Thanks oldguy, I replied.  As others have stated, I have not been denied yet.  This is just in anticipation, this guy was talking to me as if I was a real piece of shit and a hardened criminal.

You cant afford NOT to have a good lawyer

My opinion is if you have the ear of a Senator that is pro 2A, go for it!  Everything is in play and no need for a lawyer as you have not yet been denied!

I would not worry about agitating the NJSP. Play all the cards you have. Apply pressure and ask for what is rightfully yours. Don't let up. You are not a criminal

and you don't deserve to be treated this way!

 

Contact Christie's office as well. By phone, email and certified mail. Get names and keep copies of everything, record all conversations as well. Who knows? It may help!  Good luck!

First, are you trying to get a FID, FID and hangun purchase permit or handgun purchase permit?  Your post is unclear.

You do not want to appear in Superior Court without counsel.  Any appeal to the Appellate Division from the Superior Court (if a Superior Court judge denies your request) is based on the "record" (transcript) in the Superior Court. Few denials are reversed by the Appellate Division so it is important that the best "record" be created if things do not go your way. If getting the permit is important to you, borrow the money, if you can and if you have to. Good Luck

That is very good advice Steven. Do you offer a free consultation? Could you please spend a few minutes to determine merit?

Perhaps some here would donate to his cause if he is indeed being wrongfully denied his rights per NJ Statute. I know I would!

You can contact Landmark Legal Foundation.

I don't think they would represent you (but you never know) but at least they could give you some advice that you could add to what you have seen here.

 

Also, when it's time to get a lawyer, start a GoFundMe page.  I'd bet you get at least a piece of what you'll need.

Yeah i betcha that go fund me thing will get you a few thousand. Or at least 1k. It all can help.

Don't even know how to go about doing that or advertising it.  It just feels wrong, like I'm asking for charity on this matter.

Check out what's going on there.  The basic idea is present your case and let users decide if they feel motivated to assist.
