The Municipal Court can answer questions about the court schedule, minimum fine amounts and other administrative matters, but they cannot give legal advice. If you need legal advice you should consult an attorney. For help in finding one, call the Oregon State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service at 503-684-3763 or 800-452-7636.
You do not need to hire an attorney to complete this process; however, an attorney should be consulted for any legal advice and to assist in individual situations. Court clerks cannot give you legal advice. This packet is meant to instruct you on the set aside procedure, not to advise you on Oregon law.
