The questions Southern Oregon callers ask first. More on our full FAQ page.
Stay calm, do not resist, and do not answer questions about the alleged offense. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney — invoke both clearly and out loud. Politely say you want a lawyer present before any questioning, then stop talking. Call us as soon as you have access to a phone.
Yes. A DUII conviction in Oregon carries mandatory minimum jail time, fines, license suspension, and a permanent criminal record. There are also separate DMV implied-consent proceedings on a tight 10-day deadline. A lawyer can challenge the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath or blood evidence, and pursue diversion if you qualify.
Fees vary widely based on the charge, county, and complexity of the case. Misdemeanor representation in Southern Oregon typically runs from a few thousand dollars for a flat fee; felony defense — especially Measure 11 — runs substantially higher because of the investigation, expert witnesses, and trial preparation required. We quote a flat or capped fee at the consultation so there are no surprises.
Measure 11 is an Oregon ballot measure passed in 1994 that imposes mandatory minimum prison sentences for certain serious person felonies — including Murder, Manslaughter, Assault I and II, Robbery I and II, Kidnapping, Rape, and several others. Sentences range from 70 months to life, and judges cannot reduce them. Measure 11 cases require immediate, aggressive defense.
Many Oregon convictions and arrests are eligible for expungement (technically called a 'set-aside') under ORS 137.225, with waiting periods that depend on the offense. Some serious felonies, sex offenses, and traffic-related crimes are categorically ineligible. We evaluate eligibility for free and handle the petition, hearing, and order entry.
Yes. We regularly appear in Jackson County Circuit Court (Medford), Josephine County Circuit Court (Grants Pass), Klamath County Circuit Court (Klamath Falls), and the municipal courts in Medford, Ashland, Central Point, Grants Pass, and surrounding cities.
