Kertchen law is the G.O.A.T! I had a rough child hood always got into trouble and even had a drug problem into my adulthood, which led to more crimes. I am now sober and have my life on track. The only thing that I wanted was to get my firearms rights restored so I can legally protect my family. From 12 time to getting my gun rights restored. Kertchen law made that possible!
Thank you all!

Vitality and his team didn't just handle my case, they supported me through it. They helped clear old convictions that no longer reflect who I am, and in doing so, gave me the chance to move forward without that weight holding me back.

From the start, they explained how the process works and what to expect, which helped ease a lot of my anxiety. Any time I had questions, they were there with clear, helpful answers. I always felt respected and understood, and that meant a lot.

I'm deeply grateful for their help and for the important work they do for people who are working to turn the page and start fresh. Thank you.

I had a great experience with Kertchen law! They did exactly what they said they said they could do even quicker than expected! I am absolutely stoked to have my 2nd amendment back and would honestly recommend these guys to anyone! There honest and professional!

I reached out to Kertchen Law to see if they could help me restore my firearm rights. They replied very quickly and within a few hours, they were working on my case. The entire process was painless and my rights were restored faster than I anticipated. We all make mistakes and it's nice to have someone to turn to for help. Thank you!

So I found out I wasn't suppose to have a weapon. I called kertchan law. Sent them all the information they needed,and they took care of the rest. Now I can go hunting to put meat in my freezer. Couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for your service.
