WE FOCUS ON REPRESENTING:

Wineries, Distilleries, Breweries, Importers

To better and more efficiently serve its clients around the world, the firm maintains an office in Washington, a short distance from TTB’s Washington, DC Headquarters. In the age of paper we visited TTB Headquarters many times per week, and to this day we have met with TTB many thousands of times on a wide variety of issues.

The firm has more than six principal attorneys, each with more than 10 years of specific alcohol beverage law experience. This notably includes John D. Messinger, Frank Y. Knizner, Arthur J. DeCelle and T. Marshall Fawley. In total, the firm has well more than 100 years of combined, relevant, specialized experience.

Robert C. Lehrman founded the firm in 2001. He has more than 30 years of experience working with ATF and TTB issues on a daily basis. In addition, the firm has several capable associate attorneys, Of Counsel lawyers, and legal assistants. All of us focus mainly on the often quirky and difficult legal issues surrounding beverages with and without alcohol.
