Comprehensive Self-Defense and Criminal Representation

When you are forced to use a firearm or other weapon to defend your life or home, the legal aftermath can be incredibly stressful. The prosecution has the burden of disproving a self-defense claim beyond a reasonable doubt in Indiana, but establishing a robust defense requires a lawyer who can analyze every piece of physical evidence and ballistic data. Guy Relford utilizes his extensive knowledge as a certified range safety officer and firearms instructor to defend clients facing serious criminal charges, such as reckless homicide, voluntary manslaughter, or carrying a handgun without a license.

Whether your case involves a complex jury trial or pre-trial negotiations, hiring a defense lawyer who specializes in firearms laws ensures that your actions are interpreted accurately within the boundaries of Indiana self-defense statutes.

Specialized NFA Gun Trusts and Expungements

For firearm collectors and sporting enthusiasts, acquiring restricted items under the National Firearms Act (NFA)-such as suppressors, short-barreled rifles, or machine guns-requires strict compliance with federal regulations. The Law Offices of Guy A. Relford specializes in drafting custom NFA Gun Trusts. A professionally structured gun trust protects your investments, simplifies the ATF acquisition process, and establishes a secure legal framework for family members to share and inherit your firearms.

Additionally, the firm helps clients restore their second amendment privileges through the Indiana expungement process. If a past misdemeanor or non-violent felony conviction has stripped away your constitutional right to own or carry a firearm, Guy Relford guides you through the complex court filings needed to seal your record and legally restore your gun rights.
