  • Will an emergency order of protection have any effect on my FOID or concealed carry permit?

    You will not have to forfeit or surrender your firearms to law enforcement, but you will be required to deliver them to a friend or family member with a valid FOID until your FOID is reinstated.

  • What are the possible outcomes of an order of protection case?

    An order of protection case can end in one of the three scenarios below.


    I. A dismissal.


    II. An order of protection, which is typically valid for up to two years.


    III. An injunctive order. This type of order carries with it civil penalties, as opposed to criminal penalties, and may be worded in a way that allows you to retain your rights to possess or own firearms.

  • I was just served with an Order of Protection. What should I do?

    Firstly, and this cannot be stressed enough, make sure to have zero contact with any of the protected parties listed in the order, whether in person, by phone, or by any electronic means.


    Next, gather any evidence you have, especially correspondence between you and the protected party, BEFORE deleting any number or blocking said party on social media.


    Lastly, seek an experienced order of protection lawyer in Edwardsville, IL to determine the best course of action. We are happy to assist you.

  • I need to evict a tenant. What notice should I use?

    Illinois requires specific notices depending on the reason for eviction. Five-day notices are used when the reason for eviction is non-payment of rent. 10-day notices are appropriate when you are evicting a tenant for violation of lease terms other than non-payment of rent. 30-day notices are required when there is no lease or there is a month-to-month tenancy. If you'd like to learn more from a criminal attorney in Edwardsville, IL today, please contact us to request a consultation.
