Being charged with a crime can be overwhelming. You may be worried about your driver's license, your job, your finances, your family, or what a conviction could mean for your future. You do not have to navigate the criminal justice system on your own. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you understand what is happening, protect your rights, and make informed decisions about your case.
Your Case Deserves More Than Just a Quick Plea
The fact that you have been charged with a crime does not mean the case against you is necessarily as straightforward as it may appear. An attorney can examine the circumstances surrounding your arrest, review police reports and other evidence, and identify potential legal or factual issues that may affect your case. In a DUII case, this may include examining the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, chemical testing, and the procedures followed by law enforcement.
An Experienced Washington County Attorney Helps You Understand Your Options
Criminal cases can involve decisions with consequences that last long after your court appearance. Depending on the circumstances, you may have options involving negotiations, motions, diversion programs, sentencing, or trial. An attorney can explain those options, discuss the potential benefits and risks of each, and help you make decisions based on the specific facts of your case.
Protecting Your Future
A criminal charge can affect much more than the immediate court case. A conviction may have consequences for your driver's license, employment, professional opportunities, insurance, finances, and personal life. DUII cases can also involve separate administrative proceedings concerning your driving privileges. Having an attorney involved early can help ensure that these consequences are identified and addressed rather than discovered after it is too late to act.
You Don't Have to Face the Process Alone
The criminal justice system can be unfamiliar and intimidating. Your attorney can explain what to expect, communicate with the court and prosecutor on your behalf, and advocate for you throughout the process. Most importantly, you should have someone in your corner who understands Oregon criminal law and is committed to protecting your rights.
If you have been charged with DUII or another crime in Washington County, getting legal advice early can make a meaningful difference in how you approach your case. Contact an experienced Oregon DUII and criminal defense attorney to discuss your situation and learn about your options.

What Our Clients Say
M.H. - I had the best possible attorney
"Jake was quite possibly the best attorney a person could ask for. He worked hard on my case and in the end we got the best possible results. I was facing 30 days of jail and Jake convinced the judge I was actually eligible for diversion instead. I would recommend him to everyone."
