We thoroughly identify and examine applicable legal instruments and deeds to advise our clients of their rights and responsibilities.

For clients who own property as tenants in common, we seek to allocate rights and responsibilities between parties through a Tenants In Common Agreement.

Timber Trespass

Clients that have had timber removed from their property, even a single tree, may be eligible to file a claim under the Oregon Timber Trespass Statute.
