Our clients can arrest and qualify as “prohibited persons” or “criminals” for conduct they never anticipated being illegal. Whether practicing family law, estate planning, administrative, or civil rights law, these changes in firearm laws can impact your practice and the advice you provide your clients.

It also addresses some of the limited remedies available for those who are prohibited from owning firearms.
