Renzulli Law Firm, LLP recently represented a retail firearms dealer in New York in connection with a proceeding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) had commenced to revoke its federal firearms license because of various record keeping discrepancies. By working with the ATF, we were able to prevent the revocation of the dealer's license and it was only required to participate in a warning conference with the ATF.
For more information on representation during regulatory compliance hearings before the ATF or related state agencies, as well as counseling regarding compliance with federal firearms regulations to ensure that your next compliance inspection will go smoothly, contact Christopher Renzulli or Scott C. Allan.

Firm Defeats Wrongful Termination Claim in Mississippi
Plaintiff was terminated for poor performance in August 2006. He responded by suing his former employer claiming that he had been discharged in violation of Mississippi’s public policy because the “real” reason he had been discharged was he had allegedly reported illegal and unethical conduct. Plaintiff also claimed that he had been intentionally and negligently subjected to emotional distress by his supervisor during his employment. Through thorough and complete discovery, Renzulli Law Firm, LLP was able to establish that plaintiff had lied on his employment application regarding his prior employment history and, in fact, had been terminated for cause from two prior employers and had responded by unsuccessfully suing each of them for wrongful discharge.
