Looking for a lawyer in the Somerville area that is firearm friendly. Do not want to post details as yet as I don't want to make matters worse. Thanks in advance.

If it has to do with firearms I'd call Evan Nappen.

I don't have firsthand experience with any of them, but check the pinned thread:

 

http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/81307-inventory-of-known-firearms-lawyers/

I don't like the sound of this.  Good luck.

It is a problem with a FID card and as of now I think a simple letter from a lawyer will resolve it. If it does get complicated Nappen will be contacted, but as of now, a local firearm lawyer will have to do. This is not my problem but a relatives and money is tight.

A problem with obtaining an FID card?

Why pay twice?  Hire a lawyer well versed in NJ gun law and be done with it.

Sorry for being vague about this, but this is a public forum and I do not want to put out too much information as of now. We spoke to a lawyer 2 weeks ago and he said a phone call or an e-mail by us should resolve the problem, but calls and e-mails are not being returned.  A letter from a lawyer would carry more weight in getting an answer so we can go on to  the next step. In my first post I did ask if anyone knew a firearm friendly lawyer in the Somerville area. I know of Nappen's reputation, but you don't need F Lee Bailey for a simple will or a cannon to take care of a chipmunk.

 

And I do know that F Lee Bailey is dead.

Try John Fabriele in East Brunswick he's a good firearms lawyer too

You scared the crap out of me, I thought you were in trouble until you added some details. Good luck getting it sorted out.

There is a guy on main street in raritan borough pat is his first name. I've never used him but I've heard he is a good lawyer. I'll see if I can find his contact info

I don't have any experience with him, but the ANJRPC newsletter lists this attorney as practicing firearms law.

The listing is in one of their masthead columns and not in the ad space of the newsletter.:

 

Edward J. Zohn

(908) 791-0312

 

He's in Warren and serves the Somerville area. His website (zohnlaw.com) says "Edward represents gun owners with forfeitures, permit appeals, and all related subjects."

Try Frank Pisano. He is in Montville but if all you need is a letter and brief counsel then he is more then capable. I have worked with him and have had great results. This was after a couple well know firearms attorneys could not help me out.

Thanks grumpyoldretiree, I went to see Mr Zorn today, and although not out of the woods yet there has been a huge step forward. A typo on the rejection letter made it seem he was being refused a FID because of a restraining order against him. That was not the case, a far easier problem exists that should be easier to correct. Hoping it will be on the lower side of the cost that he quoted me.

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped. When your ordeal is over, I'd appreciate if you posted your impressions on how Mr. Zohn handled the issue. Nothing case specific, but just whether or not you would use him again.

After all, none of us here knows if/when we might need a firearms attorney.

I've met with Jef Henninger before.  Smart and very involved in the 2A cause.  He has a law firm that handles lots of different types of law but he handles the firearm stuff himself.
