Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense attorneys represent clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges including drug crimes, assault, domestic violence, theft, and Measure 11 offenses. With former prosecutorial experience, we develop strategic defenses tailored to each case's unique circumstances. Our proven track record includes reducing charges, negotiating favorable plea bargains, and securing acquittals at trial while maintaining open communication with clients throughout the process.
DUII Defense
We specialize in defending Oregon DUII/DUI charges with deep understanding of both prosecution and defense strategies. Our approach includes challenging evidence admissibility, negotiating reduced charges, and representing clients at DMV hearings. With former deputy district attorney experience, we effectively navigate Oregon's strict DUI laws to minimize penalties and protect driving privileges while providing 24/7 availability for urgent cases.
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice secures compensation for clients injured in auto accidents, workplace incidents, and premises liability cases. We handle medical expense recovery, lost wage claims, and wrongful death lawsuits with a focus on maximizing client compensation. With $3.5 million recovered in recent cases, we combine aggressive litigation with compassionate representation to achieve favorable settlements or verdicts.
Employment Law
We advocate for employees facing discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and wage violations. Our attorneys handle cases involving protected classes under Oregon and federal law, including age, gender, race, and disability discrimination. With experience in both litigation and settlement negotiations, we protect whistleblower rights and pursue compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages when applicable.
Family Law
Our family law practice handles divorce, child custody, spousal support, and domestic violence cases with sensitivity to clients' emotional needs. We provide clear guidance on legal options while advocating for fair outcomes in property division, parenting plans, and protective orders. Our approach balances compassionate counsel with aggressive representation in contested matters.

Questions
Do I really need to hire an attorney?
While possible to self-represent, legal expertise prevents procedural errors, ensures proper evidence handling, and maximizes favorable outcomes through experienced negotiation and litigation strategies.
Do all Oregon attorneys charge the same amount?
No. Fees vary by firm and case complexity. Most personal injury cases use contingency fees, while criminal defense typically requires hourly or flat-rate retainers.
Should I accept a settlement offer from an insurance company?
Consult our attorneys first. Initial offers often undervalue claims. We negotiate higher compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional damages.
Why is trial experience important?
Attorneys with trial experience better negotiate settlements and effectively present cases when litigation becomes necessary, maintaining credibility with insurers and judges.
Are there hidden fees?
No. We provide transparent fee structures upfront with no unexpected charges during case proceedings.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle, but we prepare every case for trial to maximize leverage. Clients decide final resolution after receiving strategic recommendations.
