Cleaning up my criminal record and getting back my gun rights.
I came to Jesse because I was trying to get a better job and I was concerned that I would be discriminated against because of my criminal record. He quickly researched the relevant facts and informed me. He then introduced me to an exciting specialty of his: reducing felony charges to misdemeanors, restoring gun rights, and expunging criminal records entirely. He has done some amazing work for me over the last few months and it has been surprisingly affordable. I am super excited about my future now. Anyone with a criminal record should be talking to Jesse about fixing it.
A tireless attorney who earned my highest recomendation.
Mr. Lohrke did a fantastic job of representing me. His initial recommendations to me were fair and suitable to my situation. When I explained to him my specific needs and the extenuating circumstances he went to bat for me tirelessly. It took a while and he never slowed down or suggested to me that I needed to compromise. I give Mr. Lohrke my highest recommendation and I believe you are in very good hands if he is representing you.

Jesse is fantastic and got the case dismissed
Right from the start Jesse was extremely helpful, answering all of my questions. He answered emails very promptly, which was my preferred method of contact. He was up front about cost, and was reasonable. He was meticulous about finding details and case law, and was able to build such a strong case that the two wrongful stalking orders that were placed on me by my neighbors were dismissed. I highly recommend him without reservation. He is incredibly smart, patient with clients and just a top notch attorney that we were lucky enough to find and put things right.

let’s see here
Both Liz and Jesse are one hell of a team! They both work well as a married couple! But I must saying I left a domestic violence relationship and Dhs took my kids away from me and I went to court my nana said oh I hope you get that attorney he is so good! I was scared but he got me out of my shell and started talking to me about it and he has been the best damn attorney I had in forever

Peace Of Mind!
I am grateful for finding Jesse Lohrke. I live out of state and my college sophomore son was charged with a crime. He received a false ID/ underage drinking citation. Mr. Lohrke listened and calmed me down. He then took care of everything and communicated directly with my son. He formed a strategy and was able to negotiate a very fair outcome. My son did not have to fly back and forth to Oregon in order to resolve the matter. I would highly recommend Jesse Lohrke. His fees were quite reasonable and I felt he was honest and forthright.

Above and beyond
I was arrested on 12/3/12 on some serious criminal charges. I was assigned a court appointed attorney that wasn't interested or capable of defending me. I was going to spend the next two years of my life in prison! I called Jesse and he intervened on my behalf. He traveled 300 miles round trip to represent me on court appearances. He sent people to search the archives in Multnomah County to disprove my past criminal history. He wasn't afraid to question police procedures. He offered positive suggestions on things I could do to help myself, which I was more than happy to do. The fact is that he worked harder for me than any lawyer I've ever known.
As a result of Jesse's hard work, on February 14, 2013, I was given three years probation instead of two years in prison. And, thanks to Jesse's suggestions on how I could prove myself a changed person, I'm on reduced supervision at this time and scheduled to be off paper next June.
I honestly owe my life to Jesse Lohrke!

Jesse Lohrke
Jesse is the best lawyer a man could ask for. He got my sentenced reduced on several occasions and minimized the amount of money I had to pay. He genuinely cares about his clients and always has their best interest in mind. He shows up ready to go and is the man you want to go to bat for you.

Jesse Lohrke: Holistic Attorney
Until Jesse represented me, I had no idea there was (or even could be) such thing as a holistic attorney! (disclaimer: my description of him, not sure how he feels about it:) ) Throughout my case, which came at an already very difficult time in my life, Jesse was not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but personally respectful and caring. He explained everything completely (several times in fact!); presented me with all possible options; answered my questions to satisfaction and researched those he was not certain about. He answered my calls personally or returned them promptly. I came to trust him immensely throughout this time. In fact, I credit Jesse Lohrke greatly with the successful outcome of my case as well as my personal life situation during that time. He is not only a great lawyer - he is a wonderful person!
