Typically, the Oregon restoration process takes about four to six months. However, that is the average and some cases will take less time and some may take more time, depending on the facts of the case, whether the State is agreeing or objecting, the age of the case, etc. We work on our case as fast as we can and assist the court and State in anything they need to get your case heard and decided.

If your restoration request is denied, we determine the reason for the denial and the best way to proceed, which can include refilling in a year or a recommendation that you take additional steps before refilling in order to give the judge the necessary level of comfort to grant your case.
