Was your gun purchase denied?
What can I do about a wrongful gun purchase denial?
There are three steps that our attorneys can help you take:
First, our office can file a Challenge with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division. This forces them to review the denial of your gun purchase, based on supporting documentation that we provide, and potentially reverse their decision.
Second, our office can submit a Voluntary Appeal File (VAF). This gives you a UPIN number that will identify you as a lawful firearm purchaser with law enforcement, for purchases that occur down the road after the initial denial is corrected.
Third, if the FBI CJIS refuses to budge on the appeal or the VAF, we can sue them in federal court. This allows a federal judge to force the FBI to reverse your appeal denial and issue you a UPIN so that you don’t face gun purchase problems in the future.
What if I’m unsure about my criminal record, and the denial of my gun purchase might have been correct?
When you hire us, the first thing we do is to review your entire criminal record and confirm that you are actually authorized to purchase a firearm. If we discover an outstanding criminal record that is still getting in the way, then we can pursue an expungement, a State pardon, a Federal pardon, or other process to get your gun rights are restored. It is rare that a person is permanently disqualified from owning a firearm - we will likely be able to find a solution for you.
We’re the Best. Seriously.
Our office files about half of the expungements, pardons, and gun denial challenges in Oklahoma - more than any other attorney or law firm, by far. No one else even comes close to our experience level, period.
We have a 99.9% success rate.
Not only do we litigate more cases than anyone else, we also have a near-perfect 99.9% success rate, over 15 years of practice. Those results speak for themselves. (we are required to remind you that past case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.)
