I had an OUI conviction 1996 which in Massachusetts permanently disqualified from owning a firearm. In 2015 I sat before the Firearm Licensing Review Board (FLRB) and petitioned to have my right to posses a firearm restored. I possessed a clean record since my 1996 incident for which I take full responsibility for. The FLRB ruled in my favor, finding that I was a suitable candidate. The town I live in then issued me a LTC. I felt so good knowing that after taking responsibility for my poor decisions as a much younger man and trying to learn from my mistakes and making good decisions, that after 20 years I was found suitable to have my 2nd amendment right restored. Well the story does not end there, in 2018 the Massachusetts Attorney General ruled that people who had their LTC issued through an FLRB ruling would no longer be recognized and that these people would no longer be able to posses a firearm or LTC. My reaction..... Noooooooooo !!!!! This cant be !!!!!! I had joined a range, purchased firearms and now I was going to be in violation of the law!!!! Attorney Jason Guida, using his extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of firearms laws was able to successfully litigate a major case in which the result meant that I would not be denied the opportunity to renew my LTC. I had been stressed out since 2018 for the day my LTC would expire and I would not be able to renew it. I did a lot of research, I can say with fair certainty that I do not think anyone without the expert knowledge that Attorney Guida posses would have been successful. I am extremely grateful for Attorney Guida and his former clients who forged the path for people in my situation to enjoy their 2nd amendment rights. Please trust me on this, if you have an issue involving a firearm license and need representation do not waste your time searching the internet. Call Attorney Guida and know that you have the best guy in the field representing you.
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 correct 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.
I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Jason Guida for any and all firearms licensing representation needs in Massachusetts. Attorney Guida is a total professional and really easy to work with.
In 2019 we moved to Massachusetts from a state where the laws are relatively firearms-friendly, easy to locate, and reasonably understandable. My initial exploration showed Massachusetts gun laws to be quite different - much more complicated, harder to locate, and highly variable from one locale to the next. Accordingly I sought out a referral to a knowledgeable firearms attorney. I could not have been better directed or more fortunate to have chosen Attorney Jason Guida. Mr. Guida was extremely professional, communicated in a responsive and straightforward manner and was clearly the authoritative source on firearms licensing matters in Massachusetts. I wanted to be sure that I was approaching the entire process of licensing, transporting and storing my firearms properly and avoiding the pitfalls of pursuing the matter on my own. If you want to know that you are on solid legal footing and taking all of the appropriate actions, you need to engage the services of Jason A. Guida. I recommend him and his legal services without reservation!
After having a firearm stolen and properly reporting it to the police. I got my LTC suspended. After a year and half dealing with the police I was able to get my LTC back due to the knowledge and background Jason Guida has in gun cases. The best thing I can say about Jason is that he gives you full detail of your case and likelihood of winning or losing, that your not wasting your money aimlessly. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone.
I retained Attorney Jason Guida to represent me in court after my LTC was revoked. Attorney Guida’s performance in court was exceptional. Not only is he a Firearms law expert he was very respectful and easy to work with. I recently received a copy of the court order reinstating my LTC.
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.
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 his 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!
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!
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.
