Gilbert did a fantastic job representing me on my self defense case. He kept in constant communication with me through phone and email. Best of all, he got everything handled. Great meeting you and thank you for taking the time to drive down to Richmond!
Attorney Ambler was one of the best attorneys I have worked with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and confident throughout working on my case. I was kept informed by Mr. Ambler through the entire process and he answered all of my questions. He was encouraging, but straightforward which helped keep me confident and in good spirits. I appreciate his success with my case. I highly recommend him if you want the job done right.

Saved My Life
Choosing to work with Gilbert Ambler was literally one of the most beneficial decisions I have ever made in my life. I was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm on school property. This charge carried up to a 10 year sentence and the outcome of this case would have a monumental impact on the rest of my life. When I spoke to Gilbert about my case, he was confident, knowledgeable, and upfront about the details of my case. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to work with his law office. Once I became a client, I felt like a priority. His team was professional, and they kept the lines of communication open. Before my trial, they would check in with me and even offered me words of encouragement as I was looking for work in the meantime to maintain myself. Whenever I needed to speak with Gilbert, he always got back to me in a timely manor if he wasn't immediately available. I felt like I was receiving the best service possible the entire time I worked with him. He prepared me for the day of my pre-trial hearing by going over his gameplan and answering all of the questions I had. On the day of the pre-trial, I was nervous and anxious, and he remained calm and professional. He did an excellent job of explaining the facts and details I needed to make an informed decision. His calmness and confident energy definitely transferred over to me and it helped to prevent me from making a terrible decision in the end. Through his knowledge, research, and presence in the court room, he was able to convince the judge that the law was on my side in this instance and my case was dismissed. Needless to say if you have a 2nd amendment legal issue and need the absolute best defense look no further than Gilbert Ambler.

Ecstatic by the results!
I was referred to Mr. Ambler by a family friend in hopes of returning my gun rights. I felt understood and represented. I live across the country, and I was concerned about how much I could do remotely. With the assistance of Mr. Ambler and his team, they guided me through every necessary step leading up to my day in court. Excellent communication throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Gilbert Ambler to anyone seeking assistance getting their gun rights back.

Excellent Attorney
This morning my cousin had a court case in Chesterfield General District Court. He was represented by Mr. Gilbert Ambler, who was extremely professional, down to earth and explained all the pros and cons, as to what could possibly happen. He made us very comfortable, once he explained everything. I was very impressed, when he told us that he had watched the police body cams and the camera footage from the redlight. Not only did he watch the videos, but he spent 15 hours, watching the videos over and over to make sure he did not miss anything!! He was
very confidant, when he was explaining what could or could not happen in court. He is very educated on the gun laws in several different states! I highly recommend him but especially with anything pertaining to a gun. We were very happy with the outcome of this case. If you have a charge or charges with anything dealing with a gun, he is the man to call on! I cannot express enough how professional and knowledgeable he is on guns. Thank you, Mr. Ambler for your professionalism, and staying up on the laws in order to help someone to the best of your ability!!

Appeal the denial of my concealed handgun permit application
Do I really need an attorney to appeal the denial of my concealed handgun permit application?
It shouldn’t be that complicated. I will go in, explain to the Judge, and would be granted my privileges. But after thinking it over, I realized the judge already made at least one bad decision on my application. I didn’t have any convictions. So yes, I did need an attorney.
I called LawShield and they put me in touch with Ambler Law LLC., Mr. Gilbert Ambler. He came highly recommended. Almost immediately he contacted me, we were on the same page from the beginning. I felt confidant the day of the hearing. He was efficient and got the job done.
I highly recommend Ambler Law Office LLC, Mr. Gilbert Ambler for an experienced gun rights attorney. He is affordable, has a solid understanding of the specific laws governing your case. He has the courtroom experience to present testimony and evidence, make any necessary objections, navigate the procedural issues, and offer appropriate legal arguments to the judge.
Your ability to carry a firearm for effective self-defense and the defense of your family is important. It is important enough to make sure you handle this the right way. It is too important to take any chances.
Thank you again, Mr. Gilbert Ambler, Ambler Law Office LLC

Totally worth the money
Gilbert Ambler was recommended to me by VCDL when I asked them who they recommend using to get my gun rights restored. I talked to him and another random guy who advertises himself as a gun rights lawyer and I liked what Gil had to say a lot more. I decided to go with him, and I was not let down. He did a great job in and out of court. It went well and I now have my rights restored. I would recommend this office for sure.

Saved my life!!!!
Gilbert Ambler is the reason why im not in jail right now. This is no small feat considering I hired him via US Law Shield to help me fight a felony charge in Fairfax County, VA. The Fairfax County Police dept was hell bent on sending me to jail and trying to ruin my life but this man gave me the legal counsel and advice to prevent that from happening to me. He advised me to brace for certain outcomes but he also gave me hope that we could overcome this which we did. Even when the Fairfax prosecutor office tried to put me in indefinite limbo he fought tirelessly to get my case resolved. Hopefully ill never get into another situation where i would need to hire him but my ordeal taught me good legal representation can literally be the difference between freedom and jail time not to mention a ruined record. Gilbert Ambler prevented all of those negative outcomes from happening to me!
