About Jeffrey
Biography
Jeff specializes in representing criminal defendants in a wide range of criminal charges including: DUI, driving while suspended, drug crimes, sex crimes, Measure 11, felonies, probation violations, parole violations, Administrative License Hearings, computer crimes, white collar crimes, and traffic crimes. Jeff is a competent and capable attorney who will zealously represent you with compassion for your predicament and will help you achieve the best outcome in your criminal case. While the primary geographic area of his practice centers around the Portland metropolitan area: Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties, Jeff is available to represent you in any court in the state of Oregon. The first consultation with Jeff is always free, and if he can’t personally help you, he will find someone who can.
Jeff grew up in Michigan and earned his undergraduate degree from Michigan State University. After graduation Jeff moved to Colorado to pursue his love of rock climbing and his passion for the outdoors. He then moved to Oregon to attend Willamette University College of Law. It was at Willamette University that Jeff began to hone his skills in criminal law. Throughout law school Jeff worked for the Polk County District Attorney’s Office. It was the holistic approach of that office that would lay the foundation for Jeff becoming the criminal defense lawyer he is today.
After graduating law school, Jeff chose to become a criminal defense attorney; this decision was based on a desire to protect the Constitution, fight for the little guy, and help people in need take their lives back. You can often find Jeff at the office toiling away with his companion Reggae, an amazing Black Lab that loves a good game of ball at lunch. When the two of them are not in the office fighting for your rights, they can be found rock climbing, snowboarding, running, hiking, doing yoga, or just enjoying all the beauty and fun Oregon has to offer
