Mr. Guidry graduated, with Honors, from St. Louis University School of Law in 1993 with his Juris Doctor, a Masters of Business Administration, and his Bacholor's Degree was in Accounting. Mr. Guidry began his criminal defense career at the Orange County Public Defender's Office in 1993, under the wonderful supervision of then elect Public Defender Joseph DuRocher (in my opinion, the best public defender, ever). In 2001, Mr. Guidry left his position as a Felony Division Chief with that office to begin his private practice in downtown Orlando, right next to the Orange County Courthouse (where his office remains to this day).

Mr. Guidry owned and operated U.M.P. Recording Studio, an Orlando recording facility he founded in 1998. In 2009, he sold U.M.P. to a record label, but retained a mastering facility, where to this day Mr. Guidry still engineers and masters albums for artists all over Florida.
