We represent clients injured through no fault of their own, pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our contingency fee model ensures access to legal representation regardless of financial circumstances. With experience handling car accidents, slip and falls, and wrongful death cases, we advocate for full and fair compensation while clients focus on recovery.
Criminal Defense
Our firm provides aggressive defense for individuals facing criminal charges including DUI, drug crimes, and domestic violence. We challenge evidence collection procedures, protect constitutional rights, and develop tailored defense strategies. Our experience with Oregon's legal system helps clients navigate complex criminal proceedings while minimizing potential consequences to their freedom and future.
DUI Defense
We specialize in defending DUI charges through technical analysis of breathalyzer calibration, field sobriety test administration, and probable cause determinations. Our proactive approach includes challenging DMV license suspensions and exploring diversion programs while protecting clients' driving privileges and minimizing long-term consequences of DUI convictions.
Truck Accidents
We handle complex truck accident cases involving commercial carriers, navigating federal and state regulations to establish liability. Our investigation includes reviewing maintenance records, driver logs, and cargo loading procedures to build strong cases against trucking companies. We pursue compensation for catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths caused by commercial vehicle negligence.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Portland?
Seek medical attention, document injuries and damages, avoid admitting fault, and contact our firm for legal guidance before speaking with insurance companies.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Oregon?
Oregon's statute of limitations allows two years from the accident date to file personal injury claims, with three years for wrongful death cases.
Can I still recover compensation if partially at fault for an accident?
Oregon's modified comparative negligence rule allows recovery if your fault percentage is less than 51%, with compensation reduced by your assigned fault percentage.
What happens during a DUI arraignment?
During arraignment, formal charges are read, legal rights explained, and plea entered. This critical stage determines bail conditions and case progression through the court system.
How does a contingency fee arrangement work?
Clients pay no upfront fees – our legal fees are contingent upon successful case resolution, ensuring access to quality representation regardless of financial situation.
What evidence is crucial for truck accident cases?
Critical evidence includes driver logs, maintenance records, accident scene photos, witness statements, and electronic control module data from commercial vehicles.
