Serious Offenses

Serious Charges Require A Serious Defense

When you're charged with a serious crime, it feels like the whole world has turned against you. What you need most is someone who is on your side. I am an attorney who stands up for the rights of my clients.

If you have been charged or think you are going to be charged with a Measure 11 crime or another serious criminal offense, it is vitally important that you have an experienced and trustworthy attorney at your side throughout the entire process. Contact my office online or call 541-359-4569 or toll free at 866-716-3353 to schedule a free consultation today.

Measure 11 Felonies

Felony convictions that fall under Oregon's Measure 11 designation (murder, robbery, rape, etc.) carry harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences, even if you have no criminal record. And if convicted of a Measure 11 offense, you would be ineligible for "good time" credit while serving your sentence.

In my nearly 20 years of experience, I have successfully obtained acquittals or dismissals for defendants charged with murder, robbery, sexual offenses, and other serious crimes. I would bring this experience to bear in defending you against the charges you are facing.

Federal Offenses

As a former federal prosecutor, I prosecuted white collar cases in a wide variety of contexts. Having worked on the other side, I have the insight and experience to protect your interests if you are charged with a violating a federal offense.

Searching and Seizing Computers and Other Types of Electronic Evidence

In the Internet age, many criminal cases involve the seizure of emails, computers, and other types of electronic evidence. Successfully challenging the use of such evidence by the prosecution requires insight and knowledge in how to apply the traditional search and seizure rules to these new forms of evidence.

My experience enables me to effectively assist you in cases in which the prosecution turns on electronic evidence, including, among many others, online identity theft, child pornography, and computer hacking. As an attorney at the United States Department of Justice, Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, I lectured and trained hundreds of state and federal prosecutors and law enforcement officers (including agents with the FBI and IRS) relating to the constitutional and statutory rules governing the searching and seizing electronic evidence.
