“In my search of representation during one of the most trying periods of my life, Tom immediately stood out as someone I could trust. He listened to my needs and took my concerns seriously and with empathy right from the start. Tom was very knowledgeable in what we needed to do in preparation for my case and supported me every step of the way. He worked very hard to see justice served and I am extremely happy with how my case turned out. I would absolutely recommend Tom as an amazing lawyer to anyone who asks.”
My Weapons Were Seized – Morris County Restraining Order Lawyers
If a temporary restraining order (TRO) has been filed against you, you are not allowed to possess firearms according to NJ law. As a result, you must turn over all firearms to law enforcement once you have been served with the restraining order. If you fail to comply with this court order, you could be charged criminally for contempt of court. Now, if the temporary restraining order (TRO) becomes a permanent or final restraining order (FRO), then you are prohibited from possessing firearms permanently (or until the FRO is vacated or dismissed in the future).
However, if the temporary restraining order (TRO) is dismissed (either voluntarily or after a trial in court), it does not mean that you automatically get your firearms returned to you. The county prosecutor’s office may still attempt to have your firearms forfeited. If they do, there will be a hearing before a Superior Court judge to determine whether or not your firearms ID card and weapons should be returned to you. Therefore, you should hire an attorney to represent your rights and interests at that hearing. Our experienced attorneys have handled a number of these hearings and one of our lawyers used to prosecute these hearings for the Morris County Prosecutor’s office. Now, he uses his experience, knowledge, and expertise to advocate for our clients at these weapons forfeiture hearings.
