Lightning fast approval for gun permit
This was a great case. Really nice guy looking for a gun permit was getting problems from his local police department for months. He hired me last week and today, he had his permit. I wish they were all this easy, but that’s not the case.
Gun permit denied for conditional discharge
Client called me up today because he was denied a gun permit for a conditional discharge that he had a few years ago. Naturally, the question you will ask is how can they do this if he was not convicted. Wake up! They did it. Stop asking how and ask how can you prevent this garbage from happening to you.
The solution? Call me before applying for a permit. Otherwise, you risk getting denied like this guy did. Then if you want to file an appeal, you are going to have to pay a lot more. I know I’ve said this a million times, but so many people are not getting this, so I will keep repeating myself until it sinks in.
Carry Permit Approved for ATM Business owner!
This was a great victory. The client owns ATMs and he services them himself. As a result, he has to carry large sums of money without any protection. Many of the small bodegas he services have been robbed as they are in very bad areas. He is not a security guard or a retire police officer. So he’s screwed right?
Well that’s what I first thought but after talking to the client, I got an idea. I never tried this before but I thought that if I can show a justifiable need by showing that the places he went to were dangerous, even though he was never personally attack, then we would have a shot. That was easier said than done as it took months to put everything together. About two months after he made the application, we got the good news that we won. Thankfully for the client, it wasn’t even that expensive.
I feel a lot better about helping clients out with carry permits so I might be open to doing a few more.
Gun permit approved for client with physical and mental issues
This was a tough permit application. The client had physical issues which could have impacted his ability to get a permit in addition to a history of mental health issues which could have caused the police to deny him. He’s a great guy and he should have got the permit, but when you have two issues that the police can use against you, it could be very tricky.
I had him wait a while to make the application while we got his ducks in a row. Thus, the big work was done before the application was made. As a result, the review of his application was rather uneventful. It took him about 45 days to get the approval.
Permit denied for suspected ADD 20 years ago
While I was at court for my client that was getting his carry permit, the case in front of mine was a guy that was denied because when he was in second grade (20 or so years ago) they thought he was ADD and he saw a school doctor for about a year. It never really went anywhere and the guy has never had any other problems. In fact, the guy didn’t even remember it as it was so long ago. Nevertheless, his permit was denied.
Of course, the State wasn’t really going anywhere with this as they had no proof that he suffers from any disability. Thus, his attorney was able to win the case. However, he probably spent a good amount of money for the appeal whereas he could have saved a lot of money if he had hired one to begin with.
Carry Permit Approved for Armored Car Driver
This was a great case for a great client. He had a DWI from 3 years ago and they were given him a problem with his carry permit. The crazy thing is, the DWI was downgraded to reckless driving which was possible because the charge was out of state. So, in other words, he was simply charged with DWI and not convicted of it, so he was still having problems with the carry permit. That’s where I come in.
After he realized that he could be denied, he hired me to smooth things out. I got on the phone with the prosecutor who was actually a really good guy. He was open to the permit but he wanted to hear from his boss. I called his boss to testify and the judge and the prosecutor was impressed. I left them with hardly any questions. A few questions did come up about his application which was a big surprise but it turned out to be a big nothing. In the end the permit was approved.
My client had the type of last name that is more common as a first name so the court had the court order backwards. My client would have had a hard time if this was not corrected. Luckily I spotted it and had it fixed right there.
