In the realm of firearms law, the difference between maintaining one’s rights and facing an unjust suspension often hinges on the quality of legal defense. Recently, our firm had the privilege of defending a client in Worcester, Massachusetts, whose license to carry a firearm (LTC) was suspended under dubious circumstances. The case underscored our firm’s commitment to aggressively defending the firearms rights of our clients, highlighting the importance of expert legal intervention in such critical matters.
Our client’s troubles began when they were unfortunately present at a location where a crime occurred. Without substantial evidence linking our client to the criminal activity, the Worcester Police Department preemptively suspended their LTC. This action was based merely on their presence at the scene, a decision that, to our firm, clearly lacked legal justification and undermined the principles of justice and fairness.
Understanding the severe impact of this suspension on our client’s life, our firm acted swiftly. We filed a challenge against the Worcester Police Department’s decision, asserting that the suspension of our client’s firearm license was not only unjust but also lacked a substantial basis in both law and fact, even in the discretionary context of suitability. Our legal team meticulously prepared the case, ready to demonstrate to the court how our client was wrongfully penalized.
However, the case did not progress to a full hearing. In reviewing our comprehensive challenge and the evidence we prepared, the Worcester Police Department decided to reinstate our client’s license before the hearing could take place. This outcome not only provided immediate relief to our client but also reinforced the significance of having a determined legal advocate on your side.
This case exemplifies our firm’s proactive and aggressive approach in defending our clients. At Law Office of Matthew W.
