Navigating an Oregon liquor liability claim requires a detailed understanding of the state’s statutes, notice requirements, and local service industry standards.
Explaining concepts like visible intoxication and proximate cause to an Oregon jury requires a clear and persuasive communication style. I have the experience to effectively convey these crucial points in Oregon courtrooms, including the Multnomah County Circuit Court and other key jurisdictions.
My services are designed to provide comprehensive support to plaintiff and defense attorneys at every stage of litigation.
A confidential review to assess the strengths of your claim and compliance with Oregon’s statutory notice requirements.
Meticulous analysis of all documentation, including police reports, toxicology reports, receipts, OLCC training records, witness statements, and video surveillance.
Professionally written reports designed to withstand scrutiny and clearly articulate how the evidence supports a claim under Oregon law.
Clear, concise, and compelling testimony delivered with the composure and authority that comes from years of specialized experience.

This is determined by a totality of the circumstances. My analysis focuses on identifying evidence of objective, observable signs of intoxication—such as slurred speech, impaired coordination, stumbling, or belligerent behavior—that a properly trained OLCC permit holder should have reasonably recognized.
Yes. Oregon law requires that a plaintiff provide formal notice of a potential claim to the licensed establishment within 180 days of the injury. For wrongful death claims, the notice period is one year. Failure to meet this deadline can bar the claim.
