Portland Attorney Handling Your Criminal Defense
Do not lose hope. In many areas of criminal law, criminal charges are not the end of the world. I can help defend you from charges, or if you have been convicted, I can help with the appeal or post-conviction relief.
I have been a Portland criminal defense lawyer for 15 years. My Oregon criminal defense law firm emphasizes personalized client service and creative solutions for your criminal defense needs.
Criminal Defense Practice Area Overview
I can represent you in many different areas of criminal defense, including:
- DUI: I have written and given presentations for other lawyers on the laws of driving under the influence of intoxicants, or DUII (commonly referred to as DUI). I have the experience in drunk driving law to help you get the best results possible. Also, you will lose your license if you don't file for a DMV administrative hearing within 10 days of the charges. I can help you fight for your license.
- Traffic crimes and violations: I have the experience to represent you in everything from speeding tickets to hit-and-run homicide.
- Drug crimes: I can help defend you from charges of possession, delivery, cultivation or any other drug-related crime.
- Sex offenses: Sex offenses are particularly sensitive. I will handle your defense in this area with discretion.
- Domestic violence: Losing a domestic violence case often results in not being able to see your spouse or children. I will fight for your defense.
- Restraining orders and stalking protection orders: There must be a reasonable fear of imminent harm for the court to issue a restraining order. I will fight for your right to see your family.
- Identity theft and other fraud crimes: The Oregon lawmakers have been steadily increasing the penalties for identity theft and fraud crimes.
- Ballot Measure 11: Usually violent or sex-related, Ballot Measure 11 crimes carry minimum penalties.
- Criminal appeals: If your criminal defense failed because of improper evidence, a legally unacceptable ruling from the judge or a violation of your constitutional rights, I can appeal your case or get you post-conviction relief, fighting to get your conviction reversed.
- Expungements: We might be able to get your conviction removed from your permanent record.
In all of these areas, I excel at finding creative solutions. Even when your situation seems hopeless, there is always a chance that I can find an answer or a hard-to-find solution for your legal problem.
