Virginia Lawyers Weekly recently released their list of ‘Top Stories of 2023… So Far’. Second on their list was a Virginia Supreme Court ruling obtained by WRG attorney James Panagis. James was able to reverse a trial and appeals court guilty verdict relating to concealed firearms law. WRG attorney Brian Latuga is cited saying, “The Court of Appeals ruled against us, but Mr. Panagis drove it home on subsequent appeal at the Supreme Court and overturned a conviction that has now set the precedent for future cases of like kind. These have long been litigated unfavorably, and now we have an answer.”
