2A Friendly Lawyer recommendations

[henktermaat]

Having a good lawyer's phone number alongside your LTCH is important, should any of us (God forbid) have to use our sidearm in self-defense. I'd hazard to guess that many of use don't know any lawyers at all.

Why not gather some good 2A-friendly lawyer recommendations? If I could get a few good phone numbers, I'd be able to give them a call and tell them that since I carry, I need a good lawyer's number should the S. ever H.T.F. I'd imagine we'd talk for 5 minutes, their phone number would go into my wallet, and done.

I don't know about anyone else, but lawyers seem to come in so many flavors these days that I'd probably not be able to trust my results in random yellow pages searches.

I think a list of pro 2A-friendly lawyers would be a great idea, along with a sticky so it would be quickly available.


How about it?

You also want to know a good civil rights lawyer, since many firearms cases also involve violations of other rights, and a good lawyer will know 'em all

Or at least know a good lawyer, who knows who all the other lawyers are, which is more what I do, since my lawyer is also my brother in law. Civil rights isn't his "area," but he does know who to go to.

If you carry a gun for self defense, or even keep one in the house, it's a VERY good idea to have the name and number of a lawyer, one you've paid to chat with and make sure he's comfortable getting a three a.m. "I just shot some dude in my bedroom" call. Don't just pick a name out of a hat, research and interview them. Some will give free consultations, some will charge for their time, but even if you are broke, if you need that lawyer it'll be the best money you ever spent.

That's great advice - any tips on where/how to start researching?

I believe lawyers are just like plumbers... they may seem like the right one for you but you need a reference to even trust them...

I would assume lawyers have been found in the 4 years since this thread was posted...
