About the Expert - Seth G. Cohen

With nearly 30 years as an attorney, I've defended firearms appraisals at the highest legal levels, giving me unique insight into what makes a valuation stand up in court and in critical business transactions.

My credentials go beyond the courtroom. As a certified appraiser, FFL Type 7 holder, and licensed gunsmith, I bring technical expertise that most appraisers simply cannot match. I understand firearms from every angle—legal, mechanical, historical, and practical.

I've been an active collector since the 1980s, giving me decades of hands-on experience with antique, modern, and collectible firearms. As a certified firearms instructor since 2009, I understand not just the value of firearms, but their proper handling, safety, and functionality.

My background also includes professional wrestling with the WWF in the 1980s, working as a bodyguard and bouncer in the 1990s before law school. This diverse experience has given me a unique perspective and an understanding of firearms from both professional and practical standpoints.
