Adam J Brittle's Legal Cases (2)

Divorce and separation

In the Matter of Schwindt and Schwindt

Dec 20, 2016

OUTCOME: Affirmed

In this appeal of a judgment dissolving his marriage to wife, husband challenges, among other things, the trial court’s property division. At the center of his appeal is the court’s treatment of a f ... amily-owned restaurant business, Expressway Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (Expressway), which supported the parties’ lifestyle during the marriage. According to husband, his stock in Expressway, although acquired during the marriage, was gifted to him alone by his parents and should not have been divided equally. We are not persuaded that the trial court erred by dividing the property as it did on this record, and we therefore affirm the dissolution judgment.

Appeals

Heikkila v. Heikkila

Jun 23, 2014

OUTCOME: Success

Adam successfully represented a client at the circuit court level in prosecuting a FAPA restraining order. Respondent appealed. At the Oregon Court of Appeals, Adam moved for and obtained dismissal ... of Appellant Shawn Heikkila's appeal for lack of jurisdiction on the basis that he failed timely to serve the attorney of Adam's client. On review, the issue was: Does the Court of Appeals have jurisdiction over an appellant's appeal if he timely served the respondent with the notice of appeal by mail but did not serve respondent's attorney? Adam Brittle argued before the Oregon Supreme court on June 23, 2014 on behalf of his client. The matter is still under advisement.
