Project Titanium — common sense safety or a step too far?
Our firearms law specialists explore what Project Titanium involves and how it may impact firearm and shotgun holders.
“Purely as a result of an accident completely unrelated to me, I discovered first-hand how easy it is to get dragged into a police investigation — your home searched and property seized, very serious criminal allegations levelled and your certificates revoked. On the basis of a recommendation, I instructed Lachlan Nisbet of Brabners. It was clear to me from very early on that I had instructed the best in the field. The criminal allegations were dealt with quickly and Lachlan built and presented a case to the police which saw to the speedy return of my certificates and guns without the need for a costly appeal hearing. I couldn’t recommend Lachlan and his team more highly.”

“Brabners was thorough, fair and transparent in fighting our case. For that, we will always be grateful. You were able to save my reputation, which means a lot. You dealt with us in a professional way and showed patience and understanding, especially when I showed my frustration at times. This was a difficult time for us as a family, a situation I never thought we would be in.”
Firearms client
“I am writing to give my thanks and praise for your hard work in ensuring that the Metropolitan Police’s decision to revoke my shotgun certificate was overturned. I cannot thank you enough for the legal assistance and advice that you gave me. I could not recommend Brabners more highly and would definitely return to use your services.”

“My family and I would wholeheartedly recommend Brabners, their professionalism, diligence and caring attitude they showed in dealing with my case. From the first day I contacted Brabners, they gave me the confidence that I would get the closure we wanted. I would happily recommend their services without doubt.”
