That was several years ago. The cost might have gone up since then.

It's cheaper to hand over your gat to the bad guy and let him shoot you. Then if you live you can sue him and get a shyster that works off contingencys.

The ironic part of this whole "would I use Guida or not" conversation is that it's totally irrelevant to most of us. The vast majority of us have our LTCs and are highly unlikely to ever need the services of an attorney to get or keep our LTC.
Hopefully Jason will be along shortly so he can get banned too. Lawyers don't last long around here.
Not necessarily true. When Darius (Cross-X) was still with us, he posted here on occasion and had no issues at all. Same thing with Joe Hickson (who I don't think is doing firearms law anymore, though). Both were proof positive you can be in that profession and survive on NES.

There are plenty of people fleeing MA that might want to use him to avoid getting a restricted nonres, or people who (rather stupidly, I might add) migrate into anti towns and face the renewal hammer of restriction fun....

they were good guys, darius especially. the first time i met him he was playing with a bullpup bastardized AK. it was an AK at least so i knew he was a winner. R.I.P. dude.
That's unfortunate, if accurate. What with Joe being the attorney on a case in which a Massachusetts gun control law was struck down as unconstitutional by a federal court. (Man, it's been 7 months, and that still has not gotten old.)

You mean Darius and Joe weren't "drummed out like 99% of the LEO's"? Say it isn't so!

I'm coming up on 2 years. *crossing fingers* I'm eligible to waive into the MA Bar, but it is kind of nice when friends ask for free legal advice to say, "Sorry, I'm not licensed in MA."

We need good firearms attorneys, but I can't blame him. Good pay, decent hours, tech culture (I wear shorts to work nearly every day during the warmer months), one client, and not having to drum up new clients is all very alluring after working for a firm or being a solo practitioner.
As is being the one who calls outside counsel to ruin their weekend plans instead of the one getting the call.
I mentioned this thread to my girlfriend(an attorney) last night, saying that it was split between people who said they'd hire him and those who said screw that guy. Her instant response was, oh no, you always hire the one who changed sides, they know all the dirt.

None of the links on the page work. At least, not in Google Chrome.

That's been covered. Read the whole thread. Page is not up and running yet. It just has all the important info on it I guess.

I'm curious to know if anyone here has yet reached out to Guida for his services?
I called him 2 days ago, and he called me back while i was at work, couldnt answer.
Left him a message yesterday and hopefully i hear from him today.

I looked through that thread and didn't see anything describing the nature of the legal issues. If they are federal ATF issues, then perhaps someone experienced in that realm would be most appropriate. I have no idea whether counselor Guida has experience in that area or not.
Or, given the timing, a conflict precluding his involvement?

Poor OP was just trying to provide us with what he thought was a valuable resource.

I suppose that might be so, although I suspect it was more of a heads up / alert...
But, who has been picking on the OP?
Sent from my chimney using smoke signals.
Site is "live" now.
Some interesting services listed under the "practice areas" link.
He states that he has conducted seminars and training for the MCOPA and BATF.
No other helpful details given if that's to mean he gives guidance with regard to MA firearms laws only, or if he's well versed in Federal laws also.
I guess at a minimum... he has some contacts/people to call in the BATF.
Jason was running seminars for the PDs on how to use MIRCS, also apparently on MA gun laws (current interpretations by EOPS and AG), etc. He was a presenter at the FFL seminar run in Worcester a few months ago as well.

Believe me, the OP is not naive, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his post, at least to those of us who know what he is about.
I am reserving judgement on Mr. Guida, and I'm guessing he is, as well. We'll all have to wait and see.
