Top Notch

I was looking to find a qualified attorney to represent me in restoring my firearm rights. After calling some local attorneys who did not really seem like a fit I searched the web and found Mr. Herron. He responded promptly to my inquiry and took the time to listen to my situation. His knowledge on f...irearms rights is amazing and his reviews awesome so I knew he was my guy. He was very thorough on prepping my case before the petition was even filed. He prepared me for every possible scenario we might walk into before court. Court went super smooth thanks to all the work we put in prior to court and my rights were restored. If you do everything he tells you to chances are you will have the same outcome. I am beyond excited to have my 2nd amendment right restored. Mr. Herron came as advertised and was worth every penny, he truly is a top notch attorney!

Gun Rights Restoration

Restoring my gun rights was a long term pursuit from the day I had lost those rights. I had researched every potential lawyer in the state of Virginia to hire for that type of case. Mr. Herron was and is the only one I will ever recommend for this type of case. As he was the ONLY lawyer that approach...ed me without judgment and and pursued my case head on and straight forward. He didn’t beat around the bush and laid out the road ahead. On the day my court date he had drove 6hrs to the other side of VA to represent me. During the hearing he executed my case flawlessly and gave me hope on what I thought was going to be impossible. If one is in need of a neurosurgeon. Certainly one would want the best one you could find right? If you want the best lawyer to represent you in a specialized case as gun rights restoration then don’t look anywhere else but to Mr. Herron! I would have easily paid him 10k or whatever he asked for the way he presented himself, his practice, and represented me from day one! Our rights our priceless and sometimes only realized after they’re taken. Thank you!

Simply the Best

Robert Herron is the best lawyer I have ever hired for my representation. I reached out to him for my 2nd amendment right restoration and he got back to me in the same day. We had a thorough consultation, which gave me full confidence that he would the best representative for my situation. Leading up... to the case, we had several more conversations and collaborated on gathering all of the relevant information for my case. He outlined every step of the way and made the entire process smooth and easy. He also prepared me for the worse-case scenario, which I found to be extremely helpful. I can tell by the quality of work that Mr. Herron does, that he takes pride in his work and is passionate about the cause. In the end, my case was a success and thankfully no where near worse-case scenario as I was prepared for. Also, the retainer is affordable and completely worth it. I wish I could leave more than five stars. He will definitely be my lifelong attorney in the fields that he practices. Thank you!

2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS RESTORED

POSTING BY W.B. of Chesapeake. I called Mr. Herron's office after looking at attorney reviews for the purpose of 2nd amendment restoration. I was quite surprised when his office personnel said "hold on he will be right with you". Mr. Herron spent almost 40 minutes discussing my situation and the... requirements for rights restoration. He provided me a lot of information and explained his fees which were very reasonable. The fee he quoted for the entire process never changed at the end of my case. Mr. Herron is a true professional at what he does. He is polite, well spoken, and extremely knowledgeable in gun law. He explained every detail on how we would proceed from start to finish. I was nervous in court but he constantly reassured me and was optimistic. We were successful and my 2nd amendment rights were restored that day in court! He wasn’t done there, he guided me through the process of gun purchase, notified the state police of the restoration order and walked me through the concealed handgun permit process. After 42 years of being a felon he has helped me restore my dignity and my right to be a responsible Citizen. If you need the best and someone who truly cares, don’t hesitate, contact “Robert W. Herron III” he’s my attorney for life! Thank you sir!

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.
