Brit is a phenomenal attorney, who relentlessly fights for her clients' second amendment rights. Her ability to think outside of the box and utilize her outside the box thinking to obtain relief from firearms disabilities for her clients is truly that which sets her a side from the rest. I refer all my Maryland firearms law matters to Brit and if I ever had an issue in Maryland, she is the first and only attorney that I would go to for representation.
