A great gun law attorney

There was no way the state of Massachusetts or the local police department was going to issue me a license to carry with the convictions on my record. Attorney Guida found a way and now I have a class A LTC. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent MA Firearms Attorney

I retained Attorney Guida to prepare an initial firearms license application and couldn’t be more satisfied with his services. He thoroughly explained all my options, answered all my legal questions, and broke down the process to obtain my LTC in an easy to understand and step by step manner. With hi...s representation and the LTC application he prepared for me, I was able to obtain my LTC-A without restrictions, in well-under the 40 days that the PD has to issue a license. His fee structure was fair and extremely reasonable and his retainer agreement clearly spelled out his scope of representation. I would definitely entrust him to take care of any further legal matters down the line, should the need arise, and would easily recommend him to my friends and family. For anyone that may require an attorney who is intimately familiar with the intricacies of MA Firearms Law as well as an attorney that has the appropriate connections with various licensing authorities, and is looking for assistance and quality representation with firearm-related legal matters, look no further than Attorney Guida!

The best lawyer for your LTC needs!

After having been denied a LTC based on something on my record from 25 years ago I had no knowledge of since it did not show up on regular background checks, I reached out to Attorney Guida. He heard my story and decided to take my case to eventough it was a long shot for the decision from the Chief ...Of Police to be reversed. Attorney Guida guided me through the entire process from the consultations and all the way through the court proceedings. I'm happy to report the with Attorney Guida's help, I now have my LTC!

Very professional

Jason represented me at a hearing in front of the Firearm License Review Board. I cannot say enough about his knowledge of the process and how well he prepared me for the hearing.

The attorney you want on your side for Massachusetts Firearms issues

When I was searching for assistance applying for a non-resident temporary license to carry in Massachusetts the combination of Mr. Guida's public service and private practice stood out to me. In the end he helped me navigate the complicated Massachusetts process and obtain exactly the license I saug...ht. I will definitely seek his services in any related future matters.
