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.

Brian is an excellent and knowledgeable attorney.
Brian was very responsive and helpful throughout the process of keeping me out of jail! He negotiated with the court to find a path to get my charges dismissed. He was there for me every time I had questions and concerns. Plus, he's a really nice guy!!

Review
I would recommend Brian to my family and friends. He was great. I hired him for DV. He was amazing in the court room. I didn't have to talk much. He did it all for me. Anytime I needed a question answered I would text him he always go right back to me within an hour. Very nice guy.

EXCELLENT!!!
I hired Brian to defend me in a DUII case, along with charges of reckless driving and failing to maintain my lane. Brian was able to get me into a diversion program, and have both the reckless driving and failing to maintain my lane dropped. I contacted Brian on a Saturday and was extremely surprise...
