Morris County Gun Permit Appeal Lawyers Win Case
Morris County Gun Permit Appeal Lawyers Win Case
Scott L.
This was a very tough case. The client had a criminal record in New York for over 30 years ago. He was denied for alleged falsification on his application for failing to disclose this alleged conviction. However, we argued that it was not a conviction at all. Trying to research the law from New York as it existed over 30 years ago was not easy. For every point we made, the State had something to fight against it. While we have fought against the State in many gun permit appeals up and down the State for many years, we have rarely seen the State fight so hard. They threw everything they could at this case. Nevertheless, the judge found in our favor and the client was granted a gun permit.
