SkinsFan 2 Posted September 26, 2011 A buddy of mine has heard of all the stories of waiting for months to get you FPID card and wants to use a lawyer to speed up the process, Ive told him even with a lawyer your going to have to wait just like everyone else but he thinks a lawyer will make a huge difference. His other reason for a lawyer is to have a lawyer help with the process so it will lesson the chance of a denial.. Ive told him I think he is wasting his money.. I gave him the url of the board so hopefully He'll chime in.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted September 26, 2011 Unless you've got some sort of history that COULD be grounds for denial, a lawyer will be a waste of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hd2000fxdl 422 Posted September 26, 2011 If he wants to waste money tell him to buy me us all ammo (i'll take a some .40S&W) , will do just as good as the lawyer will do getting him a FID card. Harry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CageFighter 236 Posted September 26, 2011 I used a lawyer and still recv'd my FOID card in 2 1/2 months instead of 6+. It also made my future pistol permits alittle easier bc they knew I wasnt playing games. Was it worth it? probably, but who knows. I just caught some slack for it anyway by the forum guys, but f**k it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tactical Turtle 11 Posted September 26, 2011 I got my fid and pistol permits in 3 weeks from Jackson, to make my process faster I had the reference letters hand delivered... And just left them alone. This was while k was in the corrections academy so there was no professional courtesy.... My buddy got his in Howell In under a month and did the same thing, got the finger prints some the next day and hand delivered the references. Same thing in plainsboro, Lawrenceville, and east Brunswick. Maybe a lawyer isnt needed, and not hastling them is key. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted September 26, 2011 As others have pointed out, unless he has a reason to be denied, it is waste of money. What town is he in? My town is right at 30 days for new fid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing in plainsboro, Lawrenceville, and east Brunswick. Maybe a lawyer isnt needed, and not hastling them is key. Unfortunately, I've tried that route unsuccessfully. so, I tried another route: My last permits were at 45 days and I had contacted the PD at the 35 and 40 day mark with the ubiquitous - don't call us, we'll send you a letter. So I drafted a nice letter to our Republican Mayor informing him of the situation. He was out of state but inquired immediately upon his return whereupon I received a letter informing me that my permits were (finally) ready shortly thereafter. It's true, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar - problem is I don't want to catch flies - I want my God given rights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
