Onondaga County Birth certificate court order?

Hello,

With the help of NYG&B I was able to track down all the information for a recent ancestor that I needed, but was told in order to get a certified birth certificate I would need a court order because I am not the person listed on the certificate, or a parent of the person listed on the certificate.

Does anyone have experience on what to do in cases like this?

What is the procedure to follow, and are there any petition forms that are accessible to the public, or does anyone know a lawyer with experience in this very niche area?

Regards,

Wm. Schumacher
