Criminal Defense Law Services

Defending Your Rights with Experience and Dedication

​

Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful and life-altering events you can face. The stakes are high—your freedom, reputation, and future are all on the line. In such times, you need a criminal defense attorney who is not only committed to protecting your rights but also backed by a strong support system dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. I work closely with seasoned trial attorney S. Amanda Marshall of the Marshall Advocacy Center, combining my strengths in legal research and writing with her expertise in courtroom advocacy. Together, we provide aggressive and strategic defense for clients facing a wide range of criminal charges.

​

Comprehensive Criminal Defense Representation

 

​My criminal defense practice is built on a foundation of thorough preparation, strategic planning, and an unwavering commitment to my clients. Whether you’re dealing with a minor misdemeanor or a serious felony charge, I collaborate closely with Ms. Marshall to ensure that every aspect of your case is meticulously handled. While I focus on developing strong legal arguments and drafting persuasive motions, S. Amanda leverages her extensive courtroom experience to deliver powerful advocacy in court. Together, we work tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for your case.​

​

Areas of Practice Include:

​​​

  • Felonies: Felony charges carry severe consequences, including long prison sentences and the loss of certain civil rights. I bring a collaborative approach to defending against serious felony charges, including assault, burglary, robbery, sexual offenses, and charges under Oregon’s Measure 11, which mandates minimum sentences for certain serious felonies. Working alongside S. Amanda Marshall, we will thoroughly challenge the prosecution’s case, uncover weaknesses, and work toward reducing or dismissing the charges against you.

​​

  • Misdemeanors: While misdemeanors are less severe than felonies, they can still result in significant penalties, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. I can assist you with charges such as theft, disorderly conduct, or simple (fourth-degree) assault, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the legal process.

​

  • DUII and Driving Offenses: If you’ve been charged with DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants), driving with a suspended license, or vehicular manslaughter, I will fight to protect your driving privileges and reduce the impact on your life. I also assist clients with DUII diversion programs and license reinstatement.

​

  • Drug Crimes: Drug-related charges can range from simple possession to trafficking and distribution, each carrying its own set of severe consequences. Leveraging my knowledge of search and seizure laws and working with Ms. Marshall, we will challenge the evidence against you (as appropriate) to achieve the best result.

​

  • Juvenile Offenses: When a minor is charged with a crime, the consequences can affect their entire future. I will help you navigate the unique challenges of juvenile defense and work to protect your child’s rights while striving to avoid a criminal record that could affect their education and employment opportunities.

​

  • Expungement (Expunction): A criminal record can follow you for the rest of your life, affecting your job prospects, housing opportunities, and more. I help clients seek expungement of their criminal records, allowing them to move forward with a clean slate.

​
