About Neil
Biography
I am a former police officer and drug recognition expert which gives me insights to your case that very few attorneys have. I use my experience to find the flaws in the prosecutors case. I continue my education by being a member of the National Colelge of DUI Defense where I am a member of the national impaired driving committe. I am a member of the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyer's Assocation. I also teach other attorneys how to dismantle drug DUIIs at trial by teaching a course that is based on my experience as a drug recognition expert and my trial experience as an attorney.
