Dedicated, Client-Driven Advocacy
I believe in dedicated, client-driven advocacy. I have aggressively represented well over 1000 clients in Jackson and Josephine Counties since 2009. A career as a trial attorney is exciting and rewarding. Fighting for my clients against any odds and creatively defending cases against the power of the state is my highest priority.
I have tried dozens of cases to a jury, including more than 20 Driving Under the Influence trials. I have argued hundreds of motions and sentencings, appeared thousands of time in Court, handled hundreds of felonies and Measure 11 cases, and negotiated excellent resolutions or dismissals for the great majority of my clients.
In addition to my commitment to my clients and my practice I am a lifelong Oregonian, a passionate gardener and cook, an avid hiker, and a voracious reader.
I will work tirelessly, creatively, and intelligently on any case and any problems that arise in my clients’ lives. I am confident that you will find me to be a pleasure to work with.
Practice areas
I have practiced as a criminal defense attorney for my entire career in both Jackson and Josephine Counties. I have tried dozens of cases to a jury, argued over a thousand hearings, and appeared in court countless times. I handle cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to complex Measure 11 felonies.
13 years, 1,200 cases
The crime of DUII can happen to anyone. DUII law is the most complicated area of law in the criminal justice system. I specialize in DUII defense. DUII defense is constantly changing. New science and new defenses are arising nearly every week. If you have been arrested for a DUII then you only have 10 days to request a hearing or your license will be automatically suspended.

I have seen few attorneys who have Garren’s courtroom presence. His pose, ability to think quickly on his feet, and his efficient communication style ensure his client’s interests are effectively heard - no matter the venue. When litigation is unlikely, these traits and his willingness to fully litigate cases ensure optimal negotiation results. As Garren’s colleague, I can confidently say you would be hard-pressed to find better legal representation.
Timothy Coxon, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 9, 2013

I have had the opportunity to work with Garren and have seen first-hand what a fantastic attorney he is. His presence in the courtroom will give any client of his an upper-hand. He is quick-witted, intelligent, and truly cares about his clients. Anyone faced with a difficult legal matter would be lucky to have Garren as their attorney. I strongly endorse this lawyer.

Garren Pedemonte is an outstanding attorney and a great guy. It is clear from watching Garren in court that he is a tireless advocate who leaves no stone unturned.

Garren is an attorney that you can always count on to have done his work, to have done it well and truly by his clients, and to throw in a little bit of swagger when the time is right. I recommend Garren Pedemonte as an attorney and confidant.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I strongly endorse Mr. Pedemonte as a skilled and creative litigator as well as a great person who you can rely upon. Garren has everything a client would want in an attorney. He is experienced; he is knowledgeable about the law; he is passionate about helping his clients. I am pleased to confidently refer clients to Garren, for I know they will receive the care of a devoted and resourceful advocate. Oh yeah, he is also one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and from his temperament, you'll be surprised he's a lawyer. He's certainly not the stereotypical one. Hire Garren. You won't regret it.
