Lawyer for ltcf appeal

[magras]

Just applied today but want bases covered in the event of a character clause denial. My question is how much would an attorney cost for this and is one even needed. It is Philadelphia.

Why are you questioning your own character?

What kind of dirt do you have on you?

Your statutory remedy is an appeal before the Court of Common Pleas, but you only have 30 days to file. Philly has their own internal appeal process, not supported by state law.

That might be a simpler resolution, but could also potentially run out your 30 day clock on filing the statutory appeal, so be ready to move very quickly if actually denied, and follow your attorney's advice on which process might be best for you.

In 2008, very minimal representation for a character revocation cost around 4 grand in Franklin county, PA. YMMV.

[Bang]

Maybe use PAFOA membership as a character witness/reference?

quit posting and contact a lawyer!
last i knew a consult averages $500-1k and is applied toward service.

I was arrested when i was 16 for felony theft but all charges were dismissed. I was never convicted of anything. I just know how philly is. I had my ltcf issued in delco in 2010 it expired in 2015. I moved to philly in 2011.

[magras]

I havent been denied yet. It was just curiosity really

[Bang]

If your history is as stated, even Philly has nothing on you. Relax.

I've handled a lot of Philly denial/revocation appeals and only lost one before L&I, which was later resolved before the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Many of the appeals to L&I, I've been able to resolve without a hearing, which is cheaper for my client.
