Practice Areas
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Oregon’s assault laws are aggressively prosecuted. Even a first-time misdemeanor can follow you for life. Here’s what I handle.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Oregon’s most common assault charge covers intentional, knowing, or reckless bodily injury. Even minor incidents can result in Class A misdemeanor charges.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Oregon charges involving family members or intimate partners carry extra mandatory arrest policies and no-contact orders.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Charges for threatening behavior, unwanted contact, or self-defense situations that escalated. Many of these cases have strong defense options.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. When a weapon is involved, charges can be elevated. We analyze whether weapon allegations are legally sound and fight for charge reductions.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Often charged alongside assault. We challenge the circumstances of arrest and work to have these companion charges dismissed.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Already have a misdemeanor on your record? We help qualifying clients clear prior convictions so they can move forward.
