Integrity

I recently hired Mr. Herron for a firearm charge and he delivered like he promised. He kept me informed throughout the process. He reassured my concerns and was real about it. He is very knowledgeable and well read. He articulated my position very well. I didn’t have to speak. He outlined all the pos...sibilities. He was on-time and had all the ground work done. Throughout this ordeal, hiring Mr. Herron was the best choice I made. He is my super hero. Needless to say, the outcome was favorable. If you are looking for a sincere Lawyer with a wealth of knowledgeable, experience and integrity then Mr. Herron is the man for the job

Gun Possession in Airport - Dismissal

I retained Mr. Herron after a TSA screener found my (forgotten) gun in a carry-on bag and I was charged with “misdemeanor possession of a weapon in an airport.” It was a stressful time, and I was very much comforted by the confidence and experience that Mr. Herron brought to me and my case. He expl...ained the legal situation and options clearly, and throughout the entire process he was proactive, available, knowledgeable and professional. In the end, through his efforts, the charges against me were dismissed at the cost of only court fees ($176) and forfeiture of the firearm. I could not have been more impressed with Mr. Herron or more pleased with the results.

Restoration of firearm rights

My case was a bit complicated (to me) because I live in Florida and had a conviction in Virginia Beach. From the very first phone call I could tell that Mr. Herron was serious about helping me to have my right to possess a firearm restored. He let me know that he wasn't afraid to walk into the courtr...oom and fight for me if need be. Leading up to the hearing date he explained several scenarios as how things could play out and what he would do to combat anything that was thrown our way. On the day of the hearing I was a nervous wreck. He assured me that he had my back and would walk me through everything. The prosecutor tried to argue why the rights shouldn't be restored and Mr. Herron shut him down immediately. Mr. Herron was very confident in the courtroom and I was very impressed with the way he handled everything. After the hearing was over and MY RIGHTS WERE RESTORED he took me outside and explained how things were going to be going forward. He also recommended a Florida Lawyer for me to check with before assuming anything. I did a lot of research on restoration attorneys in Virginia and I feel that I hired the best attorney for my situation. It was nice to have representation that cares about his client and not just out to make a quick buck. This guy actually cares. If he is ever in my town for vacation, there will be a free fishing trip waiting on him. Thank you Mr. Herron for everything.

Mr. Herron Saved Me

I know it sounds like hyperbole, but Mr. Herron quite literally saved my future. I was charged with several firearm-related charges and he was able to work with several judges and prosecutors to get all charges dismissed. It was a long process and involved an appeal, but he was with me every step of ...the way. He was personable and not judgemental in the slightest. He explains the best and worst case scenario throughout and aims high. Mr. Herron went out of his way to talk on the phone with my dad for several hours to help figure out the next step in the process for me. I wholeheartedly recommend him if anyone finds themselves in a situation where they need legal counsel.

Gun Rights Restoration

Mr. Herron recently successfully handled my gun rights restoration petition in Virginia and did an excellent job (I currently live outside Virginia). He gave honest and thorough advice and information from the beginning. This continued even after the finding, with him always being open and responsi...ve to my questions or concerns. He was very knowledgeable about gun rights restoration, and proactive in preparing for our hearing, covering anything that might possibly come up. He was well prepared and very professional, telling the story and background, and guiding the hearing just as we needed it to go. If I, or anyone I know, should ever need an attorney in Virginia again, I would contact Mr. Herron without hesitation. I will be forever thankful to him for his service.
