Goldberg Law Group filed an administrative appeal and won, and on January 12, 2018, a Cook County Circuit Court Judge Ordered that the condition be added to the list of qualifying conditions. The State of Illinois filed an appeal with the First District Appellate Court, and Goldberg Law Group won the appeal.
