Calling All Attorneys! New Firearms CLE this October.

Last year the Columbus Bar Association invited my office to assist in teaching a continuing legal education course specifically on firearms law. It was a huge success. Due to the favorable response it is being held again on October 15, 2010 at 1:30pm in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Visit the CBA for more details. The speakers include Jon Fulkerson of the Ohio Attorney General's office, Michael Hughes of the Franklin County Prosecutor's office, and Michael Moran a local gun rights attorney.

Class 3 Firearms - Yes You Can!

As an Ohio Firearms Attorney I am oftentimes asked about the legality of title II Class III firearms. Essentially a title II class III firearm is an item such as a silencer (commonly referred to as "cans"), machineguns and certain other novelty firearms. As a Columbus Gun Lawyer I offer what is commonly referred to as a Gun Trust. Essentially, the benefit of this type of trust is that it avoids fingerprints, photographs, the CLEO (Chief Law Enforcement Officer) authorization, and speeds the process up of obtaining the item. In certain communities the chief law enforcement officer refuses or places additional burdens on gaining their authorization which is required by federal law if an individual is purchasing the item. The gun trust avoids the CLEO. Moreover, the gun trust allows for the appropriate handling of the weapon through the estate at death, thereby avoiding any potential violations of federal law. Call my office to schedule an appointment to learn more about your options in obtaining these types of firearms.

An Attorney in Your Back Pocket.

As a Columbus Gun Law Attorney I am oftentimes asked if I can be retained on a monthly fee. I tell prospective clients that they should call my office to schedule an appointment with me so that I can open a client file. This allows for the client to get a better understanding of what I provide and also gives them reassurances that I am available when they need me at no cost until then. I tell them to simply keep my card in their wallet/purse and to call if something happens. It is ultimately up to the client as to whether they want to pay hundreds of dollars for something they may or may not need. It is my office's policy to work with my client's on all levels to include their finances. Should you ever need a gun law attorney my office is here to assist you in any way that we can.
