I am so impressed with your expertise in this field, it is beyond me, words can't explain how grateful I am. This certificate holder was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of unlawful violence.

Metaphorically miracles can and do happen, providing you engage the right barrister who can perform such feats, Nick Doherty is one such barrister. In my case Nick successfully argued that the generally accepted default" tick box " position in relation to firearm storage/security is not absolute. In essence I was in breach of the default position however as I had many other layers of security in place, Nick was able to secure a "not guilty" verdict. I could not recommend Nick highly enough not only for his knowledge and expertise in firearm law but also in the manner in which he executes his role. — John Corney, Dorset

Nick Doherty has represented me, and several Sportsman’s Association members and is probably the most knowledgeable specialist firearms Barrister in the country, I would add he is an active shooter and Rifle Club Chairman. — The late Mike Wells, Secretary Sportsman's Association
