NYC LICENSED GUN SHOP AND RANGE OWNER WRITES: I am a NYC firearms dealer. My brother and I own and operate a gun shop, which also has range facilities, in Queens. My family has been in this business for almost 50 years. When I was arrested and accused of facilitating an illegal firearms transfer in 2006, I did not know exactly where to turn. All of my licenses were immediately taken from me, and my entire inventory was confiscated by the police. Shortly after, many of my law-enforcement customers offered me telephone numbers of several attorneys. Although I had known of John Chambers, and even steered my customers to him over the years, I was admittedly very confused and wanted to make a good decision choosing my attorney, after all, I was being accused of a crime. After only one conversation with John Chambers, not only was I sure he was the right attorney for me, I was convinced he was the ONLY attorney who would be able to help me. John Chambers has a great knowledge of the laws pertaining to firearms as well as having a keen instinct into the workings of the Police Department License Division. He not only made this horrible experience bearable, but he made me feel someone was there at any time I needed him. He actually listened to what I was saying and gave me the best advice to suit my situation. John and his staff contacted every agency to make sure everything was being handled properly. John Chambers was there and though he could not make any guarantee, he did all in his power to assure not only my personal licenses were returned, but my dealer licenses as well. John and his staff were always efficient, knowledgeable and quick to get results throughout this whole process. Any problem or question was dealt with in a very timely fashion. I felt sometimes that John had taken the burden on himself, taking time away from his personal life, to make sure he was doing everything he could as my legal council. As a firearms dealer and the owner of a range, I have never before been very comfortable recommending firearms attorneys to my customers. Now, after dealing with John Chambers and his staff, I have NO problem highly recommending his law firm. This is one lawyer who is truly looking out for his client from start to finish. For this and much more I am truly grateful. Michael Spallone, Owner Woodhaven Rifle and Pistol Range, Woodhaven, Queens, New York	Above is Mr. Chambers in his 5th Avenue law office. Another testimonial below: Private Investigator, Mr. Craig J. Cusanelli, President: Cusanelli Investigations, Inc. Dear Mr. Chambers, I do not believe I would have my business carry permit if it were not for your law firm. When I applied over a year ago, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and then I found out that I was going to be denied. Aside from other issues, I was told that my "letters of intent to hire" were insufficient. As you know, without a carry license, it is rather difficult to convince potential clients to contract with your PI company. Yet the licensing division sought contracts and letters of intent to hire, and was very strict about content, and number needed to qualify for this license. Having found your website via the Internet, I gave you a call and you assured me right away that you could and would take care of the matter at hand for me down at the licensing division at One Police Plaza. Even though there were many "bumps" in the road, your patience and tolerance and your ability to put me at ease were very comforting. You were always very forthcoming and available for any questions that I had, which was greatly appreciated. Your expertise in this field was very apparent from the start. Thanks to you and your law office, I am today a fully functional licensed private investigator who is able to provide service of armed security and executive protection for my clients. It was a real pleasure having you represent me and I wish you and your office all the best for now and in the future. In conclusion, I am writing this letter to extend my gratitude and so that you may utilize it as you wish for anyone who might seek out your services. Kind regards, Craig J. Cusanelli, President, Cusanelli Investigations, Inc.
FORMER DETECTIVE: WATERFRONT COMMISSION WRITES: I am a former high ranking security officer for the Trump Organization. I can attest to the fact that Mr. Chambers CAN AND DOES work miracles. Even though I have a law enforcement background, as a retired Detective with the Waterfront Commission, I have three arrests in my past. If it was not for the Chambers' law firm, I would not have procured my NYS Private Investigator's license, or my NYC concealed carry pistol permit. Mr. Chambers fought long and hard on my behalf. Mr. Chambers represented me at hearings, as well as through the appeal process. He is a talented lawyer, who combines a passion for his work, with a drive to be the best he can be. There were times when I was truly frustrated, and wanted to throw in the towel. I just didn't believe anyone could fix my problems. Mr. Chambers believed, and he did the job. I spent many years serving Mr. Donald Trump, and his family, and I can thank Mr. Chambers for applying his experience and efforts on my behalf to get me the two critical permits required for my career. I first retained Mr. Chambers in approximately 1990, and over the years, I have come back to him for renewal, amongst other things, and I am certainly glad that he is my handgun licensing lawyer. In my estimation, he is the very best, and I would never go anywhere else. (Name withheld at the request of the client).	NYS DMV CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR WRITES: I want to thank Mr. Chambers for all of his hard work on my behalf. I was denied appointment with the NYPD based upon "psych" reasons. Later on, I applied to the NYPD for a handgun permit in order to further my law enforcement career, which now had to go in a different direction. Even though I had worked for the DMV as a Criminal Investigator for two years, the NYPD denied my work related carry handgun license, until I retained the LAW OFFICES OF JOHN S. CHAMBERS. Mr. Chambers, and staff, prepared and submitted an administrative appeal on my behalf. I was more than satisfied, and very impressed with the level of skill and experience exhibited by this law firm throughout the proceedings. After the Pistol License Division received Mr. Chambers' legal papers, my concealed carry permit was issued, and my job was saved. If it wasn't for Mr. Chambers, I would have lost my job, and I would have had to give up my dreams of a career in law enforcement. I cannot thank Mr. Chambers, and his staff, enough. With Gratitude, Daniel Reyes
NYC BUSINESS OWNER WITH CARRY RENEWAL PROBLEM, WRITES: I have to thank Mr. Chambers and his staff for helping me in the renewal of my pistol license. I have a carry licence which the License Division would not renew. I am the owner of a small business in New York City, and I carry cash in and out of some very dangerous neighborhoods. When I tried to renew, I was told I did not have significant cash, and that I had no threats against me. I was at my wits end and did not know where to turn, until I found the Chambers law firm. Mr. Chambers took care of my problem without delay. Most attorneys ignore your phone calls, but with the Chambers law firm, you will always get a response. Another thing I liked about the firm, they were always very honest with me, and seem passionate about their work. A million times thank you to the Chambers Law firm. Signed, J. Candelas.	RETIRED NYC DETECTIVE JULIAN C. JONES, JR. WRITES Mr. Chambers, First and foremost let me take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for helping me procure my Nassau County Pistol License. This was the second time within a year the Nassau County PD suspended my pistol license. I was sure they would revoke my license. Here I was, a retired New York City Police Detective. Queens Detective Area South, 102nd Precinct being my last command. My last assignment being the lead Domestic Violence investigator for the 102nd Precinct Detective Squad. Now standing charged with domestic violence against my ex-girlfriend, who had an ongoing problem with an addiction to prescription pain medications, including Vicodin. Being addicted to medications had started to deteriorate her way of thinking and making a rational decision. Thanks to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office I was not charged with a crime. Despite this, there were two serious baseless allegations that were made against me. Nassau County Police Department suspended my pistol permit on two occasions within a year. Mr. Chambers, you and your staff believed in my character, and got the job done without me having to go through astronomical court expenses. For this, I am truly grateful. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your strong efforts on my behalf turned this case around, and gave me back something very precious to me: my name, and my reputation. I will highly recommend your law firm to everyone I know with a pistol license problem. Thanks, again. Sincerely, Retired NYC Detective Julian C. Jones, Jr.
PISTOL LICENSE OBTAINED DESPITE SERIOUS CLAIMS AGAINST APPLICANT: SATISFIED CLIENT OF THE CHAMBERS' LAW FIRM WRITES: Dear Mr Chambers, Thank you. It has been a long, precarious road we have traveled together since 1999 in my quest for firearms licensing. I have been denied several times for no apparent legal or practical reason. I have always known in my heart that you, John, perhaps better than anyone else could achieve the seemingly impossible. And now, after eight years of fighting an uphill battle, I have finally been approved, thanks to your commitment, passion, and above all, your professional ability and unrelenting effort. I would and do recommend you highly to anyone who values their right to own guns legally in New York. Once again, thank you and please keep doing what you do so well. Respectfully, Joe Pinilla	UNLICENSED GUN COLLECTION ORDERED RETURNED BY THE APPELLATE DIVISION; FIRST DEPARTMENT, AFTER CHAMBERS LAW FIRM COMMENCES LITIGATION. THE SATISFIED CLIENT WRITES: Dear John Chambers, Thank you so much for winning my case to get my father's gun collection back. These war trophy handguns mean a lot to me and my brother. I was very frustrated when the NYPD took the collection after my mother's passing, and then refused to return the guns because they were never registered in NYC. Now I feel like my father's spirit is finally home again. My case was not an easy one but you persevered and got them back for us. Your law firm fought at the agency level, the Supreme Court level, and finally the Appellate Division level, where you won the case. I can't thank you enough. Sincerely, Lamont Huber
LONG ARMS PERMIT DENIED, EVEN AFTER HAVING BEEN A HOLDER FOR 30 YEARS: SATISFIED CLIENT OF THE CHAMBERS' LAW FIRM WRITES: John S. Chambers is far and away the foremost person anywhere with regard to handling matters involving NYC/NYS gun issues. I was directed to him by several people and the NRA. I had confidence in him immediately. I knew that Mr. Chambers was extremely competent, and I knew he would get the job done for me-- and he did. I had been the holder of a long gun permit for 30 years. I forgot to renew, and when I re-applied, I was denied for an incident of "domestic violence," in which there were no arrests, no laws were broken, and no violence of any kind occurred. When I received my denial, I appealed the denial myself. (Which I now know was a mistake, I should have utilized the services of the Chambers law firm). At that point, I desperately needed professional help and fortunately, I found John Chambers. I recommend Mr. Chambers without reservation, even to handle initial licensing procedures, renewals and of course, to handle difficulties in licensing. After 20 years of handling gun issues in NY, he know the law in depth. Or equal importance, he is a man who will get the job done for you, and in a timely, professional manner. He is affable, unpretentious and will produce the desired result. Very truly yours, Mike M.	RETIRED CAPTAIN: NYC DEPT OF CORRECTION: PISTOL LICENSE DENIED FOR DISMISSED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES DATING BACK MORE THAN 6 YEARS AGO RETAINS THE LAW OFFICES OF JOHN S. CHAMBERS AND SUCCEEDS IN PROCURING RETIREE LICENSE: SATISFIED CLIENT OF THE CHAMBERS' LAW FIRM WRITES: Dear Mr Chambers, Being a retired New York City Correction Captain I just wanted to say, thank you Mr. John Chambers and your staff for obtaining my NYC carry pistol permit. After I had retired I was denied a NYC pistol permit due to false domestic arrests, and when these arrests was dismissed by the courts. I became discouraged with my current situation until I came upon Mr. Chambers website and reading his other clients testimonials that gave me motivation to further pursue for my pistol permit with Mr. Chambers. Mr. Chambers and his staff kept in contact at every step of the way during the process of obtaining my permit. He is tireless, and dedicated when he works for you. I highly recommend Mr. Chambers, I only wish that I came across Mr. Chambers and his staff SOONER! With the utmost appreciation. J. Gonzalez, Retired NYC Correction Captain.
