<DIV><FONT size=2>The Oregon Bar Association has rules about how long legal
documents are kept by an attorney. I had a case where the lawyer
died and his records was placed in the basement of a house and I went and
retrieved my box of records after calling the Oregon Bar Association and found
out where they were. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Remember every peice of paper may not have been kept - just
the court papers. Also the opposing attorney - if there was one -
would have filed court papers and all court papers should be
microfilmed and kept in the courthouse - at least in Marion County under the
County Clerk administration, and I believe the same would apply
to Lane County. I just have experience with Marion County.</FONT></DIV>
