Expert in Firearm Licensing Appeals

Attorney Guida would be my top recommendation to anyone facing issues related to Massachusetts licensure. As a veteran with no criminal history I never thought I would have to deal with denials or appeals. When you appeal for your LTC/FID you are quite literally fighting city hall which has counsel p...aid for by the taxpayers. I was discouraged to say the least but from the onset it was apparent attorney Guida was both knowledgeable and transparent in his communications. I'm pleased to say that thanks to his skills and experience litigating these issues I've had my rights restored without even going to court.

Representation Second to None.

Being a firearms dealer in Massachusetts is difficult in this day and age. After being accused by the Attorney General of certain violations, having my rights being trampled on by the same, and spending six months dealing with an incompetent attorney I turned to Jason for help, Jason was able to cor...rect the inequities and reach a satisfactory conclusion to my legal problems. His knowledgeable, honest, and upfront approach was exactly what was required to get the job done. I cannot recommend him enough.

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!

The Attorney for MA FLRB hearings

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt the need to In this instance because of my very positive experience with Attorney Guida. I applied for and was denied my MA LTC due to a misdemeanor from 10 years ago. I was ellidgible for a hearing with MA FLRB. After contemplating doing it alone, I'm very... glad that I went with Attorney Guida instead. His knowledge of the process, preparedness , and attention to detail is exceptional. With his assitance I received a favorable decision. This is not an easy process and should be taken very serious. I'm usually a do it myself kind of person. However with the MA FLRB you only get one chance and Attirney Guida is the person you want sitting next to you.

LTC Denial

After my car was broken into and a handgun stolen, my local Police Chief suspended my LTC. I asked around for a good attorney in this field and Mr.Guida's name came up a few times. I called Jason the same evening that I found out about my suspension and left a voice mail. That same evening he call...ed me back, answered my questions, presented a few scenarios on how I could proceed, I made the decision to fight for my rights. Jason was very informative and offered me his professional opinions regarding how to proceed at every step of the process. After almost a year of countless courtroom appearances, Jason was able to get my LTC reinstated. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation.
