New Legislation Significantly Impacts Restoration of Firearm Rights

If the new rules are beneficial, you can proceed under RCW 9.41.041. However, if the new rules are detrimental, you may still be eligible for restoration under the old rules! Applying the old rules properly requires specialized legal knowledge and experience.

 

To accurately determine your eligibility and which rules to use, you will need Kertchen Law on your side. Only the top gun rights lawyer in Washington state has the expertise and knowledge to properly evaluate your case and to ensure a successful result.
