Gun Law Guru

Mr. Ambler was able to help me deal with some NFA related paperwork. He was very prompt in all correspondance, and extremely knowledgeable regarding the subject at hand (and firearms laws in general). I would highly recommend using his services should you have any questions regarding gun law, even ...if it is a more complex and niche subject such as the National Firearms Act. Highly recommended, could not ask for better service.

Pleasure to work with

The denial of my request to renew an expiring CHP due to an “active” protection order was embarrassing and stressful. I knew the denial was based on inaccurate information, but I did not want to attempt negotiating the appeal process without legal counsel. My frustration grew as I discovered the issu...e to be beyond the scope of most attorneys. I finally managed to get in touch with Attorney Gilbert Ambler and his paralegal Sylvia White located in Winchester. I knew I was in the right place after the first conversation. Gilbert and Sylvia were friendly, well informed, and professional. Moreover, the cost was more than reasonable and they offered a generous payment plan or discount if paid in full up front. They kept me informed regarding the process, date, and what to expect. They also provided excellent advice regarding appearance and presentation. I met Gilbert at the courthouse early and he ensured I was informed and prepared for all contingencies. When my case came before the court it was immediately obvious he knew the routine well and it took less than a minute to secure an approval from the judge. Gilbert made sure I received a copy of the order and informed me the clerk was instructed to mail me an approved CHP. Attorney Ambler and Sylvia were a pleasure to work with and turned a very stressful episode into a mundane effort. My sincere gratitude to both of them. I highly recommend their service and will definitely return should I need additional legal assistance regarding firearms.
