Sarasota Gun Lawyer Recommendation?

[Mas Ayoob]

Hey, Florida shooters in the Sarasota area...

Can anyone recommend a criminal defense attorney in or around Sarasota with a solid history of defending folks arrested for illegal CCW? Got a fella down there just nailed for having a loaded pistol in a snapped holster in the back of his extended cab pickup. He did not have a concealed carry permit.

The lawyers I generally work with in the Sunshine State are either too far north or too far south to take a case there.

Please post suggestions here.

Hey Mas,

What about Jon Gutmacher (http://www.floridafirearmslaw.com/) out of Orlando? I realize it's a bit far away, but that seems like an easy charge to get nolle prossed.

Many thanks, Mr. Blandings.

I suggested that to the defendant, and it turned out he had already called Mr. Gutmacher and determined Orlando was too far from Sarasota.

Response much appreciated.

Anyone know of a lawyer experienced in these cases, closer to Sarasota?

Tell him to contact NRA...I believe they have a lawyer referal service.

He has counsel now.

[Mr. Blandings]

Good to hear.

I would be interested in hearing details and resolution when it is appropriate.
