Second subsequent firearm possession

Jonh Himmelstein won my firearm case. He won my motion to suppress evidence and won the case out of Suffolk superior court. He is a very hard and honest lawyer. His prices are reasonable and fair. He works really hard on his cases and takes them very serious. He devotes a really good amount of his ti...me to each case. I’m really glad I found him to represent me in a case that would have put me in jail for at lease 7 years thank you John
