    While you won't need to forfeit your firearms to law enforcement, you must transfer them to a friend or family member with a valid FOID until your own FOID is reinstated. If you need an order of protection lawyer in Edwardsville, IL, or nearby areas, contact us today for assistance.

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

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