To make your case for 2x damages, you should present evidence and arguments at the appropriate stage in your legal proceedings, often during the damages phase after liability has been established.

Just as the statute says - a result is non-appealable for the plaintiff/claimant; it is appealable by a defendant.
If defendant is denied his request for a mistrial and is subsequently convicted, only to have the conviction reversed by the Appellate Court, which finds defendant was denied his constitutional right to a trial before an impartial jury, can the defendant then claim damages, and file suit against...

Possibly. You need to get in your tort claim notice within 180 days of the appellate ruling that the conviction was reversed to preserve your claim. The case would need a full review with details to determine if there is a case. If the 180 days passes, your state law claims will be barred due... View More

When you file the appeal make sure you give detailed information about all of your medical conditions and list all of your treatment providers. While a note from your doctor saying you are...

I am not clear what you mean by having an "eviction notice" to be out on the 12th. Have you already gone to court and lost, with this Notice being from the court? Or is this the date on the termination of tenancy notice from your landlord? Most courts will not accept filings by fax... View More

You file the notice of appeal, and the required appeal documents and serve the landlord and the trial court with copies. Your first move should be to review it all with a local landlord-tenant attorney who does appellate work.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four days, and this appears to be something where time is very much of the essence.
You could continue to await a response, but it would be difficult for an attorney to propose a fee for you on a case sight-unseen. In an... View More

It's possible that you have some rights in regards to your father's estate but I don't have enough facts to know for sure. If he died without a Will then you are one of his intestate heirs. However, this is only helpful if he owned assets that needed to go through probate (assets... View More
