ABOUT THE CONSULTING GROUP

Why SAFER USA Should Be Your First Call
Listen to Doug Llewelyn’s Interview
on BlogTalkRadio
(Feb 1, 2022)

The firearm industry is one of the most highly regulated and complex of all
industries. As an attorney in either civil or criminal cases, you will often be
faced with a matrix of subjects that goes beyond the simple mechanical operation
of a firearm or the operation of a shooting facility. The consulting group
maintains a list of expert witness references covering most aspects of the
industry.

A client in a capital murder case steadfastly claimed he did not pull the
trigger, but instead the gun must have malfunctioned and discharged of sits own
accord, a claim that was dismissed out-of-hand. We were able to show how an
accidental discharge could have happened based upon an interacting matrix of
firearm design, mechanics and physiology.

For another client, due to the limitations of bringing a live firearm in the
courtroom, we made a video demonstrating how his handgun operates and why the
gun was not able to be fired despite the presence of a loaded magazine.

Elements that often impact firearm related litigation include the use of force
continuum, lack of a safety management system, the physiological elements
associated with firearm operation, mechanical functionality, education and
training standards or best practices, and firearm specific mechanics.

Shooting range related issues are frequently traced to the lack of a safety
management system, inappropriate or non-existent standard operating procedures,
environmental concerns and lead mitigation, range design and maintenance, and
security.

One of the most critical elements of firearm related cases is they often have a
strong emotional element built on a foundation of misinformation. While finding
a qualified, experienced subject matter expert is critical to the outcome of
your case, it is equally important that the testimony not only informs the court
of the facts surrounding the issues, but that it does so in an even, thoughtful
manner to counteract the emotional element.



When you team up with SAFER USA you get a consultant with over 55 years of
diverse experience beginning with three years in the Army including one in
Vietnam. As an NRA Training Counselor, I have trained over 8,000 beginning,
advanced and instructor students. As an NRA Certified Chief Range Safety
Officer, I have been responsible for range safety and training range safety
officers at several different shooting facilities. They ranged in size from a
few members on a small range to 2,500 members on a 300-acre facility with every
known shooting sport.

In addition, SAFER USA Consulting Group can write, executive produce, and
provide on camera experts for professional quality instructional videos to
support your efforts when it is impractical or impossible to give a live
demonstration in the courtroom or go on location.

An attorney, whether defending or prosecuting a case involving the use of
firearms, can rely upon SAFER USA to cover virtually all of the complex issues
that may be encounter.

TESTIMONIALS

“I engaged David Lombardo as a firearm expert in a federal case in the Northern
District of Illinois. The case required an expert who could compare what
appeared to be a gun in the defendant’s hand in a video with a firearm recovered
in a residence that the defendant was in just after the video was taken. Dave
put great care into his work and carefully reviewed the video with the recovered
firearm. He pulled from his knowledge of firearms, firearm manufacturers and
researched airsoft guns and other matters essential to the case. His work
assisted in convincing the prosecution to drop the case. He was a pleasure to
work with, has a wonderful demeanor, is responsive and was patient with all my
questions. I highly recommend using David as a firearm’s expert.” Attorney
Gabrielle R. Sansonetti, The Law Office of Gabrielle R. Sansonetti, Chicago, IL

“I have had the pleasure of working with David Lombardo of Safer USA as my
expert witness in a major felony trial in Effingham County this past August.
David’s expertise and communication skills carried the day on the major issues
of the trial. He is a pleasure to work with and has a quick understanding of the
facts and issues that allows him to get the right message effectively across to
the jury. I would always recommend David to the trial bar whenever and wherever
the issue of forensic firearms, and ballistics are before the court and the
jury.” Attorney Monroe McWard, McWard Law Office, Springfield, IL

“David Lombardo testified as a gun safety expert on behalf of MCCD. Lombardo was
tendered as an expert and was accepted as same by the Court. The Court finds
Lombardo to be a highly qualified, credible expert witness in the field of gun
safety.” – The Honorable Kevin G. Costello. McHenry County Conservation District
v. Brinkman. Circuit Court of the 22nd Judicial Circuit McHenry County,
Illinois.

“Lombardo produced a video for use in court that was highly effective at
clarifying the differences between the AR-15 and military weapons. The visual
and narrative were most compelling. Job well done.” Victor D. Quilici, Attorney.
Matthew D. Wilson v. Illinois.

“My client was accused of the first-degree murder of his wife but claimed the
gun fired by itself. Lombardo’s knowledge of human factors as it related to the
firearm explained in a credible manner how the firearm was discharged
accidentally by the client. His Report was crucial in having the charge reduced
to a negligent homicide.” Ted Gailan, attorney. Illinois v. George Kleopa.
