Our GunDocx(TM) software system, in development for 26 months and in use here at the NW Gun Law Group, is available for ANY laywer to purchase starting January 26, 2012 from WealthCounsel, LLC. WealthCounsel has about 3000 attorney members already, and with the addition of a robust specialty drafting system to serve gun owners, we expect to gain many more.
Our goal is to set the standard for gun trusts. We started by building a trust specifically engineered to own guns and accessories. We worked with NFA Branch at the BATFE to determine specific criteria that would make it easier to review and approve the transfer of an NFA firearm to a gun trust.
We are building a national community of GunDocx(TM) Lawyers, each an independent firm, that will advance the quality of firearms planning in our country. We will collectively share knowledge using social media, continuing legal education, and we might even refer prospective clients to each other when we are contacted by someone out of state… and have already done so!
Guy Garner in Texas reported that he was hired to do an estate plan for his very first gun trust client! He sent me an email that said “You were right. Doing the gun trust was the catalyst for me getting hired for a core service.” When was the last time that you, attorney, were paid to do practice development?
We are receiving a growing number of requests to do gun trusts in other states. Well, the idea of the GunDocx(TM) Lawyer community is to hand-over out of state clients to one of us who is local and who can take care of multiple needs… in addition to the gun trust.
The full GunDocx(TM) system includes software, CLE education, and a “new media” marketing service to help educate and attract clients to the lawyer. The first two have a fixed price, and the new media marketing system designed to help each attorney attract prospective clients to his or her law firm “while sleeping” has a subscription model.
We are offering a two-day continuing legal education (CLE) course in Bellevue, Washington, January 26-27 to train the first group of such attorneys on gun law and on serving clients who own firearms. The course will be offered in Scottsdale, AZ on February 20-21 and in St. Louis, MO on April 11-12 prior to the NRA Annual Convention.
