Gun Rights Restoration

Mr. Herron is a very knowledgeable and straight forward lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with their gun rights restoration.

The ONLY Lawyer You Should Hire / Guns Rights Restoration

I retained Mr. Herron for my legal representation for a gun rights restoration case. Mr. Herron thoroughly guided me through the entire process from our first phone call consultation to my court hearing. Mr. Herron’s professionalism and concern for my legal situation and I was unparalleled. On th...e day of my hearing, there were obstacles, a change in the sitting Judge, and the Commonwealth Attorney’s stance of denial of my petition to the court; Mr. Herron’s knowledge of the law, the particulars of my case and background, and his remarkable ability to convey and persuade the court to grant my petition to have me gun rights restored was truly remarkable. With the current national climate when it comes to the gun debate and 2nd Amendment issues and gun rights restoration, I was tremendously pleased that I had selected Mr. Herron as my lawyer. In my personally opinion, when you need lawyer, contact Robert Herron Law Firm for your legal representation, and I assure you won’t be disappointed you did.

Rights Restorations

Mr. Herron was very informative right from the start. He was very formal and polite, with that being said, I could tell he had my best interest in mind. I would recommend Mr. Herron for any legal needs especially Civil Rights. He is the man you need to call. I had multiple felony convictions that... were very old but still there, they stemed from my teenage days when I thought I knew it all but those decisions cost me 30 years of my life. Finally I had the opportunity to right a wrong, I found Robert Herron Law and he helped me put it all behind me. I dealt with him via email and phone the whole time because we were 175 miles apart. In talking to him I felt he was a trust worthy man and proved me right. Steve Central Virginia

Gun Rights Restored

Mr. Herron, I would like to thank you for your hard work in obtaining my right to process and carry a firearm. The process of me doing this by my self would have been the death of me. I have heard of a lot of people saying that they could do it themselves but I know that your expertise went a lot ...further than what I could have done on my own. You made great points in court. After having a prosecutor that was adamant about not letting me get that right back, I was amazed at how you handled that and helped them see things from another viewpoint. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in my walk in life and I must say that you are at the top of my list. I know that a lawyer can’t win every case but seeing you at work and knowing a bit about how the system goes, I feel completely confident going to battle with you any day Sir. You have restored a part of my life that I have missed out on for a great deal of time, until now. I now have a feeling of completion and am I bit more confident in my everyday life as I feel like I am a part of society. I owe that to your great work. Through this process I feel like you were very clear and direct about everything. I like the fact you were so honest and up front. You were excellent in keeping me up to date and in the loop with what was going on, from the fact that you seen this process all the way through with the letter to the state police and the info on the procedures for me purchase a gun to how to fill the paper work out. Your recommendation for a Concealed Carry Weapons class and the fact that you were willing to come out and speak about the legal side of things shows your dedication to this matter. In closing, I would like to say I highly recommend you as professional. You are a hard working dictated lawyer that I would recommend without hesitation. Thank you so much!

Gun rights attorney

After losing my gun rights in the State of Virginia 34 years ago, I contacted Mr. Herron about the possibility of having my gun rights restored. He was honest in his assessment of my case and thoroughly explained the process. If, at any time I had a question, Mr. Herron would call or email within a s...hort period of time with the answer. The morning before my civil hearing, Mr. Herron spoke with my witness and myself about the process, the questions that would be asked and how we should respond. My hearing went very well. I would definitely call on attorney Robert Herron again and would recommend his services.
