A: Hire an attorney who knows the laws of civil procedure. If you are on the internet asking these type of questions you need professional help. And no, no Attorney can answer this by reading only your description. An attorney is going to want to review all the pleadings and talk to you. You don't win cases in Oregon based on procedural technicalities. When push comes to shove the court is going to be very lenient as to the rules in order to give both sides a fair chance to present their cases, at least in the initial stages. At trial the rules may be more strictly enforced so you better know what you are doing.
