Firearms restoration

Let me start by saying this dude is AMAZING. He is very professional and upfront. I contacted him several times before retaining him on my guns right s restoration case. He always took the time to explain what I was up against and that is was a uphill battle. But If I was willing to let him fight, th...en he would put his best foot forward. He explains every detail to the best of his ability and always gives you a honest opinion. My case was a little different than most. I had a military court martial and a Virginia beach felony case in my background. Most attorneys I spoke to in the area was like no way will you ever be able to touch a firearm again. Well let me be the first to say as of 3/4/22 thanks to Mr. Herron I was given my rights to bear arms again. He didn't judge me. He just took my case and went threw the process with due diligence. He's a gun guy and has done his homework in the Virginia court system. So if you are interested in hiring a lawyer for any type of gun case then this is your guy!!!

Carrying a weapon in a terminal.

Robert was very attentive and knowledgeable regarding me being charged with carrying a weapon in a terminal. It was the absolute best case scenario regarding the outcome of the case. I could not have asked for a better attorney!

Professional- Down to Earth - a Good Person and a Great Lawyer

I made a terrible mistake and had a weapon where I should not have had it, I was facing some serious trouble. I immediately called Mr Herron and he accurately described my best and worse case scenarios. The outcome of my case was much better than I ever expected. I am very much indebted to Mr Herron.... He was outstanding!!!

Best lawyer ever got all gun rights restored

Mr. Herron was very honest and strait forward upfront telling me what to and what not to expect from the very beginning. Through the entire process he was very sincere and I could tell he realy actually cared he wasnt just thier for money. I had two felonys on my record even though he did tell me thi...s is rare to work out this well inside of three months even with the covid pandemic he was able to get everything resolved and all of my gun rights restored and I never even had to go to court. Through the entire process he constantly kept me updated as to what was happening and going on with my case thier is no way I could ever repay or thank him for the service he provided me.

Respectable, Personable, Precise, Accessible

I was humiliated to be arrested, read my rights, handcuffed and lead away to be processed. I am a 58 year old law abiding citizen that forgot to remove my gun from my purse before entering an airport. I was rushed in the parking lot by the bus attendant and forgot. I made a mistake. Attorney Herron p...ut me at ease. Explained every move and scenario. He took his time with me, answered every question and was accessible to me when I was my most vulnerable. I cannot say enough positive things. I am thankful everyday that I found him to represent me.
