Many Oregon residents are fiercely independent. People pride themselves on being able to handle their own affairs in their own way. They don't like to rely on others for help, but want to make their own way in the world. These are often admirable qualities and something to strive for. However, when it comes to criminal charges -- particularly felonies -- going it alone can be dangerous.
Felony charges have serious consequences. People will face judgment by a judge or jury who will ultimately decide their fate. These juries can easily be swayed by prosecutors and their aggressive tactics. Prosecutors are specially trained to persuasively present evidence to obtain a conviction. Many of them will stop at nothing to win their cases. And, even in cases where they don't win, they can drag a person's name through the mud so much that the person cannot live a normal life following the criminal proceedings, and they might as well have been convicted.
In order to avoid this outcome, people need to fight hard against prosecutors and felony charges. To do this, most often people need a skilled attorney. The attorneys at our law firm have years of combined experience handling felony cases. We can assess a situation without judgment and come up with a plan of defense.
This could include introducing evidence of a person's innocence, keeping some of the prosecutor's evidence out of the courtroom or avoiding the courtroom altogether by negotiating a plea agreement. The exact strategy depends on the specific facts in each case. Because no two cases are exactly alike, we work to craft a unique criminal defense strategy in each case. We understand people's options and constitutional rights, and we work hard to protect both.
