This. And I know Doug personally. I would hire him in a heartbeat. If fact, if I were ever to be in a shooting (God forbid), he would be my second phone call. Man has an attention to detail that makes little old blue-haired church ladies look like unkempt heathens ...

I took the CC class at H&H 7 or 8 years ago and Friesen taught most of the class. My understanding was that he also had a part in writing our CC law but I may be wrong about that. If nothing else, the guy was very entertaining. He could do his own stand up routine. He was also very sharp and informative. I still have his card in my wallet all these years later and wouldn't hesitate to call him. He is also the reason I recommend H&H for CC classes.
Irvin Box ends up with a lot of high profile cases but his record doesn't appear to be that strong. I don't hate attorneys and have some very good friends who are attorneys that I greatly respect. Box seems to epitomize many of the negative stereotypes attorneys have though. I think Ersland is a nut case and didn't help himself originally. However, maybe he is in a better state of mind now and has the right attorney to for the job.

I also did my CC class with him. God forbid, but if I ever need an attorney for a gun related charge I'm calling Friesen. Seems a few years back he ran afoul of the ATF somehow and he was busted for having an unregistered machine gun. In the process they trumped up several more related charges on him. There were several articles in the paper about it. Long story short they dropped most of them and he plead to a couple of misdemeanors. He was going to p-own their a$$ in court and they knew it. They didn't want any part of him in a courtroom. Yep, that's who I'm calling. Plus he does seem to be a great guy and smart as hell.
I've posted this on OSA before, but it's been a while and there are a lot of new whippersnappers here so here goes:
1. Contrary to popular belief, any attorney you hire will NOT promise to get you off. It is your attorney's job to make sure your constitutional rights are not violated. It is your attorney's job to interprete the FACTS surrounding your particular situation in the best light to your position. It is NOT about your guilt or innocence. Never has been, never will be.
2. The less you say the better off you are. It is easier for your attorney to explain something you DIDN'T say than it is for him/her to explain something you DID say. (A PERFECT example of this is the fine Mr. Jerome Ersland.)
3. Life ain't fair. No good deed goes unpunished. Remember that, always.
ETA: And I say this about very, very few attorneys in the world, but Doug Friesen is worth every single penny he will charge you.

Sounds like $500 worth of shooting insurance?? A retainer isn't just to keep an attorney on call, and then you pay later, as anyone who's gone through a divorce can tell you. It's more like prepaying for a minimum number of hours, depending on your agreement. It may be Mr. Friesen is offering to represent you on the cheap, bu you'd have to ask him.
Edit: Maybe the $500 is like a Pre Paid Legal for shooting incidents?

Not for nothing, look at all the great free publicity he is getting. Lots of trial lawyers use this tactic. It works well for them. My understanding is Doug Friesen has a well-earned great reputation.
Friesen did thump BATFE, Hard. The conviction rate on federal prosecutions of that type is unbelievably high. They wanted to make an example out of him, and they couldn't. He was very close to destroying the NFR as a forensic tool in investigations. BATFE couldn't afford that, so they folded on their major prosecution. Anyone who can pull that off has earned their chops.
