Re: Need advice for FOID appeal
Posted by dude on 9/16/08

    My first suggestion is to get an attorney. I found one willing to
    help me out for $750. You can do it by yourself, but if you're
    like me, I really had no idea where to start with all of the legal
    forms.
    You basically are petitioning the Circuit Court in the Country in
    which you reside - atleast in IL. You have to meet all of the
    requirements in that statute such as not being convicted of
    a "forced felony", etc...
    I then wrote a petition in my own words as to the circumstances of
    my conviction and what I've been up to since then - such as
    graduating from college, married, career, volunteer work, church,
    etc. You want to show that you will not be a danger to society
    and that you have not been in any trouble since your conviction.
    Mine was a drug conviction when i was 18 yrs old, 18 years ago.
    Hopefully you will have an understanding State's Attorney and
    Judge.
    If you have any questions, reply to this post and i will get it
    via email.

    Good luck. Be safe.
