Legal Services
If you have been charged with a crime in Oregon, I am prepared to help you. I have defended a great number of individuals who have found themselves accused of crime. The decision to go to trial or to negotiate a manageable resolution is the decision you, the client, must make. My job is to provide you with the best possible list of options to choose from and the advice you need to make a wise decision. That requires me to work hard, work smart and work with you. If a trial is called for, then I will "go to the mat" for you without hesitation. I have taken to trial everything from Capital Murder to Shoplifting. Every trial is serious business that calls for thorough preparation, a sound strategy and a seasoned trial lawyer. If you believe a negotiated settlement is best, then that too requires thorough preparation, a sound strategy and a seasoned trial lawyer. Prosecutors tend to make better offers to defendants who are represented by a lawyer who has a history of outstanding results and has demonstrated a willingness to test the government's case rather than recommend acceptance of an unreasonable offer. Time and time again, I have had the privilege of seeing the relief and joy of clients when they hear the judge or jury announce their verdict of "not guilty".

In addition to defending clients accused of crime, I have served as a youth mentor, coached a high school Mock Trial team that went to State Finals, served on the Executive Board of the Criminal Law Section of the Oregon State Bar Association, served on the Uniform Criminal Jury Instruction Committee, served as Disciplinary Counsel (trial counsel) for the Oregon State Bar, and presented at a number of legal education conferences on subjects such as Cross-Examination, Defense Motions, and Victim's Rights. If you think I could help you or a loved one, give me a call or send me an email. The first half hour of consultation is free of charge. |
