obtain medical records

Question

Country: United States of America
State: New Jersey

I'm trying to obtain medical records from a place that was reluctant to release them. Their attorney agreed to accept an "Indemnification & Hold-harmless" agreement, which I signed on November 14th. In it, it mentions that they have thirty days to release the records to my attorney;I learned that the 30-day period begins when it's signed by whoever is representing the facility. I was wondering if there is a specific amount of time before the other party is expected to sign.
