DUI/DWI and Criminal Defense
I provide an aggressive criminal defense to individuals who have been charged with misdemeanors or felonies in the municipal, state or federal courts in Oregon, including people who have been arrested and charged with DUI/DWI or drunk driving. As a former prosecutor, I have a comprehensive understanding of the criminal law and process, and I utilize this valuable insight to effectively advocate on behalf of my clients. Over the course of my career, I have taken over 1000 cases to jury trial, and handled upward of 1000 DUI cases, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney.

Divorce and Family Law
I represent men and women at all stages of a divorce or family law matter, from the decision to file, through mediation or trial, to post-judgment modification or enforcement of existing divorce orders. I handle all matters related to or arising out of a contested or uncontested divorce, including child custody and visitation, child support, alimony or spousal support, and the equitable distribution of marital property.
