What Our Clients Say

Matthew was phenomenal in assisting me through a complicated, opaque process. He used multiple communication channels to ensure that I was always up date. His most valuable skill was explaining the complexity in a simple manner. This allowed me to understand the practical aspects of what was happening and the possible repercussions of options.

Mr. Peterson is a great lawyer who understands his clients' needs and caters to them accordingly. He is very professional and courteous; making you feel very comfortable in discussing your situation and needs. The icing on the cake is that he is very responsive, and will immediately clarify all your doubts and queries via phone or email.

Matthew was very responsive and caring throughout my immigration process. He paid great attention to detail and made sure everything was done on time and perfectly. By 'attention to detail,' I mean that Matthew was very thorough in his work and made sure that everything was done correctly.

After interviewing some lawyers in our area, my wife and I chose Matthew to represent us in her adjustment of status application. Matthew was courteous and professional. He was always available to answer any questions we had. Matthew was clear in communicating what we could expect for the application process and how he would help guide and support our application.

FAQs

What are the common reasons for LTC denials in Massachusetts?

Common reasons include prior convictions, past involuntary commitments, or arrests related to firearms, domestic violence, or drug charges. An attorney can help assess your eligibility and work to clear any barriers.

Can I still get an LTC if I have a CWOF on my record?

Yes, a CWOF is not considered a conviction and does not necessarily bar you from obtaining an LTC. We can review your specific case to provide tailored guidance.

What are the penalties for carrying a firearm without a license in Massachusetts?

Carrying without a license can lead to a minimum of 18 months in jail for a first offense, with enhanced penalties for loaded or large-capacity firearms. We offer defense to reduce or eliminate mandatory sentences.

How can an attorney help if my LTC application was denied?

What should I expect at a dangerousness hearing?

In a dangerousness hearing, we will argue against detention without bail by demonstrating you are not a threat to public safety, helping you avoid detention for up to 120 days.

Can a firearms attorney help me vacate past convictions?

Yes, vacating certain convictions can improve your eligibility for an LTC. We handle the process to remove disqualifying convictions and enhance your chances of obtaining a license.
