About Brian
Biography
Having practiced criminal law in Oregon for 25 years, I have been privileged to stand up for good people in courtrooms accross the state. My experience includes all levels of criminal cases, including the most serious of accusations. I believe in an analytical and thorough approach to my cases, and strive to achieve great outcomes, regardless of the complexity or severity. While I specialize in DUII defense, I represent individuals accused of all types and severity of charges.
Over 27 years of DUII and criminal law experience in courtrooms around the state. Personalized, professional and experienced representation.
Criminal law, particularly DUII defense, is my area of specialization.
