When is an agreement not worth the paper its printed on (even if a judge signed it!)?

Here’s another one of my crazy cases. One of my favorite clients was going through a nasty custody battle with his ex. She realize that we were boxing her in and that our victory was near so she filed false felony charges and a bogus restraining order against my client. I won the restraining order [...]
Man gets gun permit approved but is then denied before he can pick it up

File this one under “you can’t make this stuff up”. Guy applies for a gun and the Detective sends him an email (which he forwarded to me) saying, please let me know when you can pick up your permit. In other words, your permit is approved. When he calls to pick up it up though, [...]
Big Win: Retired Police Officer Wins Gun Permit Appeal

This was easily one of the toughest gun cases I’ve been involved with for quite some time. The client hired me in September. He was a police officer but was hurt on the job so he had to retire. Some Workers Comp Doctor said that he suffered from all sorts of very serious mental health [...]

Client works for a company where she carries a gun. She’s had a carry permit for many years and has never had a problem getting her permit. For whatever reason, this one judge has been sitting on a stack of carry permits for months. If this client didn’t get her permit approved in a few [...]
Yet another gun permit denial overturned on appeal

I was in Morris County today for a gun permit appeal. This was one of those strange cases where the client should have never needed to call me. His ex-wife filed a TRO against him back in 2005 when they were going through a divorce. Around the same time, he got hit with a minor [...]

Its been a good week. I learned that 3 clients have had their permits approved either this week or last week. One of these cases was rather easy but the other two were not. One client had a bunch of problems with the police and he was very afraid that he would be denied. Another [...]
When does an expungement not count?
Posted in My Practice, tagged gun permit denial on September 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
My opinion of the law is that an expungement wipes away any issues that your criminal record could have created; at least as far as gun permits are concerned. However, I have a prospective client that applied without an attorney and he thought he was OK with his expungement. Well the problem is that the [...]
I repeat: talking to the police by yourself may be a very bad idea

I cannot tell you to never speak to the police without an attorney, but you clearly do so at your own risk. At least two clients called me this week that spoke to the police without an attorney and both were denied. This may have happened to two other people but I didn’t get a [...]
Parsippany is on the ball!

Update March 12, 2011: My client did get his permit right away. However, check the comments. Seems like this was too good to be true. I have a client that has a pending application with the Parsippany police department. The Chief called me personally in response to my letter and I can tell you that he [...]
