The Consulting & Advisory Group is comprised of attorneys who are peerless in the field of firearms law. They are paid by the FFLGuard Program, as a whole, from part of the yearly fees collected from its clients. These attorneys lend their experienced opinions and advice whenever necessary, and work at the direction of FFLGuard‘s National Coordinating Counsel (“NCC”). Currently, FFLGuard is fortunate to have the following counsel providing guidance to its constituency:
Dr. Stephen Halbrook, FFLGuard’s Counsel for Constitutional Affairs and Application, lends his input to the Program regarding the constitutionality of firearms-related matters and cases. He updates FFLGuard clients through intermittent emails and briefs, and participates in individual client matters as requested by the NCC.
C.D. “Chuck” Michel, FFLGuard’s Preferred Counsel for California Legislation and Litigation, provides all FFLGuard clients with guidance on selling into and out of California, a highly-specific and complex legal arena, and also participates in individual client matters as requested by the NCC.
Mark Barnes, FFLGuard’s Preferred Counsel for NFA issues, provides exclusive access to his comprehensive and far-reaching practice when dealing with NFA issues as they arise for any particular FFLGuard client or to the Program as a whole.
John Renzulli, FFLGuard’s Preferred Counsel on Litigation Policy, brings his vast firearms litigation experience to the Program by offering his guidance to FFLGuard clients on all issues related to civil lawsuits aimed at retail firearms dealers. Mr. Renzulli, who actually coined the “Law Plus” moniker used by the Group, has a familiarity with defending firearms manufacturers, distributors and retailers that is unmatched by any lawyer in the country.
David Goldman, FFLGuard‘s Preferred Counsel for NFA Trust Issues, became part of the FFLGuard Program in 2011 and brings over 20 years of business experience to the Program’s clients. Mr. Goldman writes the Gun Trust Lawyer blog which deals with gun trusts, and consults directly to the FFLGuard program and their NFA-LSP clients.
