Criminal Defense Lawyer

Oregon uses the term DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) rather than DUI/DWI. A DUII charge under ORS 813.010 can impact your license, employment, and freedom. Our defense attorneys challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and police procedures.

Oregon has an implied consent law — refusing a breath test results in automatic license suspension. We help clients navigate both the criminal case and the DMV administrative hearing to protect driving privileges.

From first-time offenses to repeat charges, we develop comprehensive defense strategies that scrutinize every aspect of the arrest and prosecution.

Oregon classifies assault into four degrees under ORS 163.160-185, with penalties ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. We provide aggressive defense for all degrees of assault charges, including self-defense claims and witness credibility challenges.

For theft and property crimes, Oregon law classifies offenses based on the value of property and circumstances. We evaluate every element of the charge to identify the best defense strategy, whether challenging evidence, negotiating reduced charges, or pursuing dismissal.

We also defend clients against burglary, robbery, fraud, and other property crime charges throughout Oregon.

Oregon's drug laws have undergone significant changes. Our criminal defense team stays current with evolving Oregon drug statutes and helps clients understand their rights and options.

We challenge search and seizure procedures under both the Fourth Amendment and Article I, Section 9 of the Oregon Constitution, which provides even broader protections. If evidence was obtained through an illegal search, we file motions to suppress.

For clients facing drug charges, we explore all available options including diversion programs, treatment alternatives, and reduced charges to minimize the long-term impact on your record and future.
