Antonio

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!

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 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!!
