Who this is for

→You filed a public records request and got denied (in whole or in part).
→You filed a request and the agency is past the statutory response deadline.
→You want a formal appeal on file with the right citations — not a complaint email.
→You’re escalating before going to court.

What you get

✓A formal appeal letter citing the agency’s statutory obligations
✓Specific arguments addressing the denial reasons (or the silence)
✓Timeline of the underlying request, organized for the appeal record
✓Statutory citations: federal FOIA + your state’s sunshine law
✓Next-step guidance: what to do if the appeal is denied or ignored

What changes for you

Your appeal lands as a real legal document, not a complaint email. The agency’s general counsel reads it because it cites the statute they’re supposed to comply with. Either they release the records, give a defensible reason, or tee themselves up for a public-records lawsuit.

Why $7 is the obvious move

A paralegal billing 1.5 hours to draft this is $150–$300. $7 to escalate professionally is the cheapest legal-pressure tool you can buy.
