Frequently asked questions.
Common questions about our legal services in Oregon.
What is the difference between a trial and an appeal?
A trial is where facts are determined and evidence is presented. An appeal is a review of the trial court's decisions to ensure the law was applied correctly.
How long does an appeal take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case and the court's schedule. In Oregon, appeals can take several months to a year or more.
Can I appeal any decision?
Not every decision is appealable. Generally, appeals are limited to final judgments or specific interlocutory orders. An attorney can advise you on whether you have grounds for appeal.
Do you offer free consultations?
