Don't construe my comment as a "let it go".. rather these types of suits are often rejected (the municipality or police dept can grant, or deny the claim, THEN if denied, your friend would have to sue. Initial consultations by attorneys are typically free, it never hurts to shop around and find the right lawyer. I would bet that the rate would be 40-45% though.

You graduating from law school or studying for the bar exam?

Depending upon my schedule, I could graduate in 3 more semesters (possibly in one year). I am about to have a provisional license in Oklahoma, but will be getting back to TX as soon as possible. I plan on doing criminal defense and I am exploring the idea of setting up NFA trusts for people in the DFW area.
