Understanding the CHL Appeal Process

1. Review Your Denial Notice

Oregon sheriffs must issue written notice explaining why your license was denied or revoked. Bring that letter to your consultation.

2. File in Circuit Court (ORS 166.293 (5))

You generally have 30 days to file your appeal. We prepare the petition, file in Jackson County Circuit Court, and serve the sheriff properly.

 

3. Court Review & Hearing

The judge reviews whether the sheriff had a lawful basis for denial. We present your record, evidence, and testimony if needed.

4. After the Order

If the court rules in your favor, the sheriff must issue the license. We guide you through next steps for OSP/FICS updates.
