Appeal Deadline Check

What this is

The trial court entered an order against you. To preserve any chance of appealing it to the Washington Court of Appeals, you must file a Notice of Appeal within a strict deadline - typically 30 days under RAP 5.2, but the calculation is more complicated than it looks. Reconsideration motions can extend or reset the clock. Some orders are not appealable as of right. Some require discretionary review.

Send us the order. Within 24 hours we send you the exact RAP-compliant deadline, what document(s) to file, and - if your window has already closed - what alternative paths still exist (motion to reconsider, motion to vacate under CR 60, modification motion, etc.).

What you get

• Exact Notice of Appeal deadline as a calendar date under RAP 5.2
• Identification of which Washington Court of Appeals division has jurisdiction
• Tolling analysis - if you filed reconsideration, when the clock restarts
• If the order is not appealable as of right, we identify whether discretionary review is possible
• If your window has closed, we identify alternative paths still available
• Delivered to your portal within 24 hours

What happens after you buy

1. You upload the order (optional but helpful)
   After payment, you fill out a short intake form (5 minutes) telling us when the order was entered, what kind of order it is, and whether you have filed reconsideration. You can upload the order itself or skip if you do not have a copy.
2. We calculate and write your report (24 hours)
   A navigator applies RAP 5.2, RAP 18.8, and CR 59 tolling rules to your specific timeline and writes a plain-English report with your exact deadline (or alternative paths if it has closed).
3. You decide what to do next
   Use the report to plan your next move. If you decide to appeal, you can upgrade to an Appeal Strategy Session or Notice of Appeal package and we credit your $29 toward that.
