Below are actual client reviews. I appreciate my clients and their willingness to share their experiences. Always keep in mind that the success of any legal matter depends on the unique circumstances of each case. No lawyer can guarantee particular results for future clients based on successes achieved in past legal matters.
"I pray I don't, but should I need another attorney, I'll be giving him another call."
Robert assisted me with a difficult criminal matter. His expertise provided me with facts and gave me an unbiased look at options and dispositions. He was available when I had questions and kept me abreast of case information. We were very lucky to have gotten the best outcome possible, and I believe that is because Mr. Herron was an integral part of my defense. I pray I don't, but should I need another attorney, I'll be giving him another call. Thanks!

"Great and timely service."
My experience with Mr. Herron was a great one. He achieved everything I hoped for and kept me well informed at all times. I have had interactions with other attorneys before, so I was very appreciative of his overall professionalism. He was recommended to me by a co-worker, and since then, I have recommended him myself to another co-worker. Thank again sir, and Semper Fidelis.

"Very Professional Attorney"
Robert Herron was referred to me by another Virginia attorney because my situation was somewhat unusual. I live out of state and had been falsely accused of a crime by a ex-employee residing in VA. Mr. Herron carefully reviewed all the materials and provided me with a detailed analysis of his opinion in the matter. His analysis eased my mind and in the end it all worked out without having to appear in court. He was friendly and at the same time very professional. In addition, his fee was extremely reasonable!

Gun Possession in Airport - Dismissal
I retained Mr. Herron after a TSA screener found my (forgotten) gun in a carry-on bag and I was charged with “misdemeanor possession of a weapon in an airport.” It was a stressful time, and I was very much comforted by the confidence and experience that Mr. Herron brought to me and my case. He explained the legal situation and options clearly, and throughout the entire process he was proactive, available, knowledgeable and professional. In the end, through his efforts, the charges against me were dismissed at the cost of only court fees ($176) and forfeiture of the firearm. I could not have been more impressed with Mr. Herron or more pleased with the results.

"Outstanding Service and Dedication"
Before hiring attorney Herron, he took an hour long call to understand my case and answer all of my questions free of charge. Upon hiring, in addition to prompt email responses, he was always willing and able to meet face to face to discuss my case, my options moving forward and provided me all the details for possible outcomes so I could make the most informed decision with any sentencing/conviction. Mr. Herron was well prepared for my court date and his diligence resulted in a favorable outcome for me. I would highly recommend attorney Herron.

Gun Rights Restoration
Mr. Herron was amazing to work with and made the process clear and concise. He guided me through each step of the process and relieved much of the anxiety that I had throughout the entire ordeal. I am happy to report that we were successful in our first attempt and my 2nd amendment rights have been restored!

"Highly Recommended"
Mr. Herron recently helped me get my gun rights back. After a lot of research on many different lawyers I chose Mr. Herron. He had great reviews and when I spoke to him the first time he new what he was talking about and actually wanted to genuinely help me. I live out of state so it meant a lot to me that he kept in contact and kept me up to date on everything going on with the case. He made sure that he explained everything to me an made sure that I understood that it could go anyway and not to get my hopes up. He went above and beyond what I expected and if I ever need a lawyer in Virginia again it will be him.

Gun Restoration
Attorney Herron was excellent with his preparation and handling of my restoration case. He was knowledgeable of the entire process, up front and honest. Additionally, he was accessible and promptly answered any questions or concerns I had during the entire proceeding. I recommend his services to anyone seeking legal advise or representation.

"Mr. Herron Saved Me"
I know it sounds like hyperbole, but Mr. Herron quite literally saved my future. I was charged with several firearm-related charges and he was able to work with several judges and prosecutors to get all charges dismissed. It was a long process and involved an appeal, but he was with me every step of the way. He was personable and not judgemental in the slightest. He explains the best and worst case scenario throughout and aims high. Mr. Herron went out of his way to talk on the phone with my dad for several hours to help figure out the next step in the process for me. I wholeheartedly recommend him if anyone finds themselves in a situation where they need legal counsel.

Restoration of Firearm Rights
My case was a bit complicated (to me) because I live in Florida and had a conviction in Virginia Beach. From the very first phone call I could tell that Mr. Herron was serious about helping me to have my right to possess a firearm restored. He let me know that he wasn't afraid to walk into the courtroom and fight for me if need be. Leading up to the hearing date he explained several scenarios as how things could play out and what he would do to combat anything that was thrown our way. On the day of the hearing I was a nervous wreck. He assured me that he had my back and would walk me through everything. The prosecutor tried to argue why the rights shouldn't be restored and Mr. Herron shut him down immediately. Mr. Herron was very confident in the courtroom and I was very impressed with the way he handled everything. After the hearing was over and MY RIGHTS WERE RESTORED he took me outside and explained how things were going to be going forward. He also recommended a Florida Lawyer for me to check with before assuming anything. I did a lot of research on restoration attorneys in Virginia and I feel that I hired the best attorney for my situation. It was nice to have representation that cares about his client and not just out to make a quick buck. This guy actually cares. If he is ever in my town for vacation, there will be a free fishing trip waiting on him. Thank you Mr. Herron for everything.

Gun Rights Restoration
Mr. Herron is a consummate professional. He knew exactly what information I needed to provide him. He arranged it meticulously and prepared a pleading that left no uncertainty. He spent time preparing me for my court appearance. He explained all of the possibilities and how to deal with each. While we both had confidence in the outcome, he set my expectations according to reality. In the end, we prevailed. But even had we not, I feel Mr. Herron represented me better than anyone else could have.

"Wonderful person, even better lawyer!"
Robert is a wonderful lawyer who went above and beyond for my boyfriend when he was extradited all the way from Montana to Virginia Beach! He communicated with me on the phone and was honest and transparent with me about what to expect. My boyfriend said that he has a strong, commanding presence in court and is well versed in many areas of the law. He got my boyfriend down to a 30 days sentence and got time served in Montana to count towards his sentence. Lee will get to be home for the holidays, my graduation and to celebrate our engagement over a pint of beer because Robert got him off of supervised probation! Robert has fair prices, ALWAYS got back to me when I called or emailed him, and I can't thank him enough for getting my fiance back home where he belongs. Thank you is not enough Robert, I am so happy that I went with my instinct and chose you to represent the love of my life from across the country. Thank you, thank you!

Gun Rights Restoration
I can enthusiastically and whole heartily 100% recommend Mr Herron. You will get a 110% or more in return. He is incredibly thorough and prompt. I live out of state and my case was in Fairfax County so we met there after spending a year in preparation (I had to tend to other matters). Before we went into Court I said regardless of the outcome, you have already gone above and beyond for me. We were granted my petition! Definitely excellent service at a reasonable cost. You are in good hands.

Gun Rights Restoration
Mr. Herron recently successfully handled my gun rights restoration petition in Virginia and did an excellent job (I currently live outside Virginia). He gave honest and thorough advice and information from the beginning. This continued even after the finding, with him always being open and responsive to my questions or concerns. He was very knowledgeable about gun rights restoration, and proactive in preparing for our hearing, covering anything that might possibly come up. He was well prepared and very professional, telling the story and background, and guiding the hearing just as we needed it to go. If I, or anyone I know, should ever need an attorney in Virginia again, I would contact Mr. Herron without hesitation. I will be forever thankful to him for his service.

"Great Experience"
I live in Florida and my case needed to be handled in VA. The process could not have been more simple. Mr. Herron was readily available to answer questions or concerns that I had via phone, email and text. I felt like I received impeccable personal service. Mr. Herron advised me that in cases like mine, the day in court could be simple to very complex depending on the Judge. Well, we had the complex day. Mr. Herron was relentless in the argument of my case and thankfully, we received the outcome that we wanted. I am grateful to Mr. Herron and his efforts!

Firearm Restoration
Mr. Herron went above and beyond to make my case a successful one. He displays a very professional manner and his knowledge of firearms restoration is amazing. If your thinking about getting your firearms rights restored then look no further then Mr. Herron. I made a very good choice when I decided to choose him to represent me and I will be sure to keep him in mind if I ever need any other representation.
Thanks Mr. Herron.

"The ONLY Lawyer You Should Hire for Guns Rights Restoration"
I retained Mr. Herron for my legal representation for a gun rights restoration case. Mr. Herron thoroughly guided me through the entire process from our first phone call consultation to my court hearing. Mr. Herron’s professionalism and concern for my legal situation and I was unparalleled. On the day of my hearing, there were obstacles, a change in the sitting Judge, and the Commonwealth Attorney’s stance of denial of my petition to the court; Mr. Herron’s knowledge of the law, the particulars of my case and background, and his remarkable ability to convey and persuade the court to grant my petition to have me gun rights restored was truly remarkable. With the current national climate when it comes to the gun debate and 2nd Amendment issues and gun rights restoration, I was tremendously pleased that I had selected Mr. Herron as my lawyer. In my personally opinion, when you need lawyer, contact Robert Herron Law Firm for your legal representation, and I assure you won’t be disappointed you did.

"Great Lawyer!"
I found Robert to be very thorough in his preparation for our court date, and was excellent with communication. He provided me with all of the angles, and ensured that I understood any pitfalls, and what would happen along the way. We plan on continuing to use him for any other family law issues in the future.

"Top Notch Representation"
Mr. Herron was an honest and extremely well versed attorney with all aspects of my case. My case was a straightforward gun rights case, however, hiring Mr. Herron was the best decision I could have made. Once he was made aware of the court's denial he immediately sprung into action and filed the appropriate motions and scheduled the hearing. Despite having to wait for the court schedule to open up, the process was very quick and successful. It truly is a blessing to have a passionate advocate to our 2nd amendment rights in this day and age, and Mr. Herron is epitomizes patriotism and honor. Highly recommend this Marine.

Gun Rights Restoration
Mr. Herron handled my case for Gun Rights Restoration efficiently and professionally. I spoke with another attorney prior to Mr. Herron who was nowhere near as qualified or well versed in the law. It was a pleasure to have him represent me knowing I was in very good hands. I highly recommend Mr. Herron.

"Great representation!"
I needed help with my concealed handgun application denial. From the very beginning, Mr. Herron handled the case on a personal level, and was always prepared for a worst case scenario. He always returned phone calls as quick as he could, and all of his work was extremely thorough. From consultation to the end of the hearing, Mr. Herron maintained a high level of professionalism and confidence. I would recommend this attorney for anyone that is trying to get their gun rights restored.

Gun Rights Restoration
Robert Herron is an exceptional Attorney. My Daughter, Son-in- Law, Uncle, and two cousins are Attorneys as well as a number of personal friends so I know Exceptional when I see it. I had just paid a retainer to another Attorney who was much closer than Mr. Herron, and then received a call back from Robert Herron minutes later. The difference between the two conversations made it perfectly clear to me that I had made a serious mistake in hiring the other Attorney. I immediately hired Robert, and tried to get my retainer back form the other Attorney and was successful Robert was very thorough, explaining everything down to the smallest detail in simple, easy to understand terms.
The day of my hearing Robert drove approximately 400 miles round trip, which was extraordinary. When my case was called, it went exactly as he said it would. Less than two minutes later we were walking out of the courtroom with a successful outcome. I was blown away! Although the time we were able to spend together was brief, I can tell you that Robert Herron is a professional who actually cares about his clients. Although his job was done, he didn't stop there. He went above and beyond, explain to me everything I would need going forward, including what to look for when traveling to other states, and how to complete required forms I would need to be familiar with. Without that knowledge I would have had a much more difficult time achieving my ultimate goal. A final note, Robert is not only an Attorney passionate about his job, and cares about his clients, but he is also a great guy personally. Now, that a "Beer Summit" I would like to attend. Do yourself a favor and call Robert before you make a decision... you'll be very glad you did.

"Excellent attorney for gun/rights restoration."
I hired Robert Herron to petition the court of Va. Beach in the process of gaining my civil rights back concerning gun rights restoration. Robert was pretty quick in responding to my inquiries and professionalism in his decorum with me. He was knowledgeable and understanding in my plight on this adventure of gaining the right to bear arms once again.
I would HIGHLY recommend Robert to help you along in this quest of returning to normalcy if you have messed up as I had so many years ago and lost your rights in Virginia. ...

Rights Restorations
Mr. Herron was very informative right from the start. He was very formal and polite, with that being said, I could tell he had my best interest in mind. I would recommend Mr. Herron for any legal needs especially Civil Rights. He is the man you need to call. I had multiple felony convictions that were very old but still there, they stemed from my teenage days when I thought I knew it all but those decisions cost me 30 years of my life. Finally I had the opportunity to right a wrong, I found Robert Herron Law and he helped me put it all behind me. I dealt with him via email and phone the whole time because we were 175 miles apart. In talking to him I felt he was a trust worthy man and proved me right.

"Excellent representation by an American veteran!"
Robert was very clear about all aspects of my case and nuances of Virginia law which I am not familiar with. He presented my choices and probabilities and our consultation led exactly where he indicated was likely.
I appreciated his service to me and I further appreciated his service to our Country.

"Gun Rights Restored"
I would like to thank you for your hard work in obtaining my right to process and carry a firearm. The process of me doing this by my self would have been the death of me. I have heard of a lot of people saying that they could do it themselves but I know that your expertise went a lot further than what I could have done on my own. You made great points in court. After having a prosecutor that was adamant about not letting me get that right back, I was amazed at how you handled that and helped them see things from another viewpoint.
I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in my walk in life and I must say that you are at the top of my list. I know that a lawyer can’t win every case but seeing you at work and knowing a bit about how the system goes, I feel completely confident going to battle with you any day Sir. You have restored a part of my life that I have missed out on for a great deal of time, until now. I now have a feeling of completion and am I bit more confident in my everyday life as I feel like I am a part of society. I owe that to your great work. Through this process I feel like you were very clear and direct about everything. I like the fact you were so honest and up front. You were excellent in keeping me up to date and in the loop with what was going on, from the fact that you seen this process all the way through with the letter to the state police and the info on the procedures for me purchase a gun to how to fill the paper work out. Your recommendation for a Concealed Carry Weapons class and the fact that you were willing to come out and speak about the legal side of things shows your dedication to this matter. In closing, I would like to say I highly recommend you as professional. You are a hard working dictated lawyer that I would recommend without hesitation.
Thank you so much!

"Hire this lawyer!!!!"
I contacted Mr. Herron via the internet. He immediately contacted me and heard my needs. He offered advice and experience and quoted a more then fair price. I lived out of state so all information was exchanged through emails and phone calls. This case involved right restoration so not your common case. His Marine experience also hit home and was a definite plus for us. We met him for the first time on our court date and everything worked out well. He followed up that same day with final instructions and advice going forward.
Awesome service. I would highly recommend Robert Herron III.

"Honest and Professional Attorney"
I spent the 1st 36 yrs of my life never having a need for an attorney until the day that I did. I called Mr Herron pretty stressed out about the situation. He empathized with my situation, spelled out likely scenario that would play out and offered me a fair rate to resolve the issue in a manner that gave him an incentive to quickly resolve the matter to my satisfaction. He was responsive and honest when I reached out to him with questions about my situation.
He also steered me towards a potentially better option (rather than seeing an opportunity to get paid) in the form of a different attorney when he felt the other individuals experience would potentially grant me more favorable outcome on a different (but related) matter from my original reason for contacting him.
The bottom line is that at a time when I was in dire need of honest and competent representation (and a less honest attorney may have seen only dollar signs) Mr Herron got me a very favorable outcome with the personal attention and integrity that I would want from an attorney, while placing my needs ahead of his own wallet. I would highly recommend at least consulting with Robert Herron before hiring anyone else.

"Hiring him was 1 of the best decisions I could have made."
So, I currently live in Florida but I am from Virginia Beach, Va and I had a gun charge from 2010 which resulted in a felony conviction. I called many lawyers in the Hampton Roads area and Mr. Herron was the only one (I felt) who seemed confident in his knowledge in gun law and was more than willing to help me out. From the moment I called his office and retained his services, he was extremely transparent, honest about my situation, and told me every step that was to take place. Even though there were 3 states between us, he kept me updated every step of the way without me having to contact him. When it came time to go to court he let me know what I was to expect (best/worst case scenario). When we went before the judge, I didn't even have to say 1 word, as he conveyed my sentiments to the court accurately. Even after court he told me what I was to expect and the best ways to avoid issues in the future. Anyone that is in need of a competent gun lawyer in the Hampton roads area, I highly recommend you speak with ROBERT HERRON first. Hiring him was 1 of the best decisions I could have made and I am extremely grateful to him for helping me put this part of my life behind me and cannot praise him enough. Thank you Mr. Herron!

Gun Rights Restoration
Robert represented me in a recent gun rights restoration case. He was the most prepared and professional lawyer in the court room. Just ask my wife. We were very impressed with his presence in the court room and how he prepared us for the hearing. He took our case personally and I felt he was just as concerned as I was about the outcome. Robert is the best and we expect to have him as a life long lawyer and friend.
