I have always had an attorney's number in my phone contacts in case I was ever involved in a firearms involved situation.   My attorney friend recently passed away and I need to find a new contact.

I am in the Charlotte area, but this is a great opportunity for people to get contacts all over the state,  

Feel free to post up your recommendations and locations.

If I am ever to get into a legal situation with a firearm, my plan is to get Thom Goolsby, to represent me.

Tag, I'm near Charlotte also. I know a few attorneys, but none that specialize in something like self defense.

Anyone know any lawyers near Raleigh that specialize in NFA? Need to change my trust due to a death and I want to make sure it is airtight.

Terrence S Hines in Winston is my go to guy. Got me out of accidentally going 20 over speed limit once*.

*I loathe Silas Creek pkwy cops. Bunch of ticket fascists.
I remember when I lost my mind. But it wasn't because I didn't know enough. I just knew too much....
I'm taking comfort in the fact that Jesus wasn't liked when he was alive either.

Ticket attorneys are a dime a dozen.   Not what we are looking for here.

He also does criminal work.

That's nice.  Self defense is not a criminal endeavor.  I am specifically looking for attorneys experienced with matters of self defense and laws using deadly force.

Join the USCCA and not only will they recommend you attorneys, they will help pay for them.

I recommend the gold level at a minimum, as a barebones retainer in a capital case starts at $50,000 and that's what the silver level provides.

Gold is $250 a year, but provides $75,000 for retainer and etc.

GRNC has a few free names on their site, but they don't pay for your attorneys as far as I know.

Incidentally the famed self defense attorney Andrew Branca has his “law of self defense” classes with specials for GRNC members.

If you graduate his class, as I did, he will give one hour of his expert witness time to your attorney for any questions he needs.

I consider his class a most valuable investment. I’ve taken shooting classes from everyone from Army Rangers, to Marine snipers, it’s just the legal battlefield that worries me.

Just don't ever disagree with him, about anything, at all. Or he'll curse you out and block you on social media. One of the most immature, hot-headed, self-absorbed jerks I've ever had the displeasure of speaking with.

I don't remember all the details because it was a few years ago, but it was something minor on Facebook. He flew off the handle over us having different views on something in some comment section of a post. It was quite telling.

Well in his defense, there are a lot of "experts" out there who know nothing....

Hell, I had a former sherrifs deputy tell me that if shoot guy inside your house, and he runs outside and dies, that I should drag his corpse back inside the house..

Without real details, I can't fault Andrew...

It wasn't even anything about self-defense. I recognize he's really good at that, I own his book. I'd probably still even hire him as an expert, in spite of his personality. But when your job revolves around selling yourself...

Bump.

An addition:

https://jbwilsonlaw.com

He was recommended by a friend who was setting up a trust awhile back.  Seems like a very straight forward guy when talking to him.

I came here to add him too. James Wilson is great for anything 2A. I have him working on restoring my fiancés gun rights(a couple felonies from a previous life - she’s almost 10 years sober) and he’s getting it done with no issue.

I can’t recommend him enough. She’s going to get her rights restored
