Leonard Williamson
Leonard has spent more than 30 years practicing law with much of that time focused on the legal rights of Oregon gun owners, firearms businesses, and firearms manufactures. As the founder of Oregon 2A Lawyers, he has handled over 2,000 cases across virtually every dimension of Oregon and federal firearms law - from restoring client's rights to own a firearm after a past conviction, to filing suit in Federal Court to block the implementation of Measure 114 and HB 2005 on behalf of Oregon gun owners. That combination — individual client work and landmark litigation — reflects the full scope of what Leonard does. He represents the gun owner who was denied at the counter when he tried to buy a rifle. He represents the concealed carry applicant whose sheriff wrongly denied a license. He represents the person charged with a crime after defending his family. And he represents the FFL dealer whose license is under threat from the ATF, and the ammunition manufacturer disputing an excise tax assessment with the Treasury Department.
