FOID & CCL Revoked

If your Illinois FOID card or concealed carry license have been denied or revoked, you need skilled assistance.

Gun Crimes Defense

Every year, thousands of people visit Illinois from states with much less restrictive gun laws. Many of those visitors get arrested and charged with serious crimes, even for doing things that would otherwise be perfectly legal in most other states. In fact, Illinois even requires out-of-state residents to obtain an Illinois CCL if they wish to carry a loaded firearm in their vehicle, because Illinois does not recognize concealed carry licenses from any other state! If you’re charged with a gun-related offense, you can contact us here, or visit My Gun Lawyer today!

Gun Trusts & Comprehensive Estate Plans for Firearm Owners

For some gun owners, their collection is so large that it qualifies as a legacy. We have worked with individuals with collections that exceed $250,000 in value, making their collection one of the most valuable monetary components of their entire estate. But gun owners have special precautions that they must take when passing firearms down from one generation to another. For one, weapons may only be transferred in accordance with ATF regulations, and often require a licensed firearm dealer to handle the exchange. Likewise, if you lose your Illinois FOID Card, you may be forced to surrender your entire collection to law enforcement, which could mean losing valuable assets. To protect your legacy and keep your firearms in the family for generations, you need a properly drafted NFA-Approved Gun Trust. Our experienced attorney can help you build a final estate plan that is just right for you and your family. To learn more and schedule an appointment, just visit us at My Gun Lawyer today! 

Advocacy & Consulting Services

If you are a CCL instructor, firearms dealer, shooting range, or other gun-related business owner, you may frequently find yourself confused about your rights and obligations. Plenty of perfectly good businesses lose their licenses or get in serious trouble for inadvertently violating the law. If you are in the business of selling firearms or training the public, we want to work with you! We provide regular advice and consulting services to firearms businesses.
