What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
Hello,
Wasn't sure which category to post my question under, but here goes nothing.
A year ago I developed a mental disorder and was court ordered to receive treatment for 1 year. As part of the ruling, I was prohibited from possessing a firearm. Now that I'm released from court ordered treatment, I need to reinstate my gun ownership rights.
I contacted the clerk of the superior court in my area and was advised that I needed to file a petition with the judge who presided over my case. When I ask how to file a petition I keep getting "I cant tell you because it would be considered giving legal advice. You need to call a lawyer."
Maybe I'm mistaken, but in my understanding a petition is just a formal letter requesting something. Could anybody help me out with what to include in the petition? A format? Anything really.
I have a plan to go to the local law library but I'm not sure exactly what to go there looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
