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 leadin...g 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 applic...ation. 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.
