Sniper Country was established in 1998 to serve the gun community as a trusted resource for all things related to firearms. In the early 2000s, our editors were often asked for advice on selecting the most effective self-defense lawyers.
Our little black book of the best attorneys in town led to the establishment of the Sniper Country Best Self-Defense Lawyer Award, recognizing those who fight on behalf of the community. We are delighted to be re-launching this award in 2021.
The Best Self-Defense Lawyer Award aims at ranking the best self-defense lawyers and law firms in America with a detailed, professional analysis performed by our editors and auditors at Sniper Country. Our ranking provides a deep overview of each lawyer’s background, statistics and performance, so that our readers can have all the information to make a reasoned decision when looking for legal services.
Lawyers are nominated for the expertise and experience in self-defense and weapon/firearms related cases. We take success rate, past clients feedback, reputation and area knowledge into account when nominating recipients. [Our team also conducts individual interviews with each firm, in order to know more about their background and depth of expertise].
Our Goal is to allow our community to find top legal professionals wherever they live in America, and provide a review of each lawyer’s background, experience and expertise.
Facts about the Award
All of America is covered – expert legal advice must be accessible to anyone country-wide. We have featured the 50 best self-defense lawyers in every single U.S. state, so that you can find the best lawyers nearby.
Self-Defense Expertise – lawyers are nominated based on their expertise in gun or weapon-related cases, not their overall legal expertise. We consider individual lawyers and law firms equally, based on the depth of their gun and weapon knowledge.
Trusted Ranking – our team spends several months researching, surveying and evaluating law firms across the country, with the help of legal consultants and gun experts. Our Self-Defense Lawyer Awards aims at becoming an industry standard for people looking for excellent gun-related legal advice.
Thorough Selection Process – when evaluating and ranking lawyers, we consider the information they provide, feedback from former clients and gun-related expertise, in order to ensure that all firms listed are competitive, and qualified for most weapon charges/cases. [We also carry on individual interviews with each lawyer, in order to know more about their background and depth of expertise].
