My recent dealings with a local 'gun trust' lawyer were less than savory. Here is a breakdown of what happened:
- Made appointment with lawyer, waited at his office for an hour and a half and he never showed
- Gave him all of my info at the second scheduled meeting and wrote out a check
- FINALLY received paperwork in mail 5 weeks after check was cashed
- My address and the name I had given him for the trust was wrong
- Called him numerous times and couldn't reach him, finally his secretary told me he was on vacation and I could just retype the pages that had the mistakes
- Ended up retyping the ENTIRE document because the formatting was shot to hell and the whole thing looked like garbage (font face/size changing in the middle of sentences, etc), and the word 'Settlor' appeared to be auto-corrected on occasion to the word 'Senior'
- Left numerous voicemails with the lawyer to see if he could review it again
That was two weeks ago and he hasn't made any attempt to get back to me. A friend of mine has a suppressor with a trust from the same lawyer without any issues, but I don't really want to roll the dice. At this point I'm not sure what to do with it, I may contact this Apple Law Firm and see if I could email it to them to check out.
Bottom line - don't go with some rinky-dink lawyer that thinks they know what they are doing. It has cost me a lot of time and potentially more money.
If anyone in the Armstrong Co, PA area wants the name of the firm that I received this garbage from, send me a PM.
