DUI Defense
Our DUI defense service specializes in Oregon's DUII laws, handling alcohol, cannabis, and prescription drug-related charges. We provide strategic representation for license suspension hearings, felony classifications, and trial defense. Our three generations of experience ensure comprehensive protection of driving privileges and legal rights.
License Suspension
We specialize in emergency DMV hearings to prevent automatic license suspension after DUI arrest. Our team navigates Oregon's 10-day hearing requirement and hardship permit processes, offering immediate legal intervention to maintain driving privileges for work and essential needs.
Hardship Permits
Our hardship permit service assists Oregon residents in obtaining limited driving privileges post-DUI arrest. We guide clients through eligibility requirements for work, medical treatment, and employment-related driving needs while managing the complex application process.
Felony DUI Cases
We defend repeat and felony DUI offenses with mandatory minimum sentences. Our approach challenges enhanced penalties for prior convictions, protects against permanent license revocation, and navigates Oregon's 10-year lookback period for prior offenses.
Commercial Driver DUI
Our CDL defense service addresses Oregon's .04% BAC threshold for commercial drivers. We focus on preserving professional driving careers through specialized defense strategies, as commercial drivers face stricter penalties and ineligibility for diversion programs.
Questions
What happens after a DUI arrest in Oregon?
You have 10 days to request a DMV hearing to prevent automatic license suspension. We recommend immediate legal consultation to protect your rights and develop defense strategies.
Can I get a hardship permit after DUI arrest?
Oregon residents may qualify for hardship permits allowing limited driving for work and essential needs. Our attorneys help determine eligibility and navigate the application process.
What's the difference between misdemeanor and felony DUI in Oregon?
Misdemeanor DUI carries up to 364 days jail and $6,250 fine. Felony DUI applies with two prior convictions in 10 years or any felony DUI history, with minimum 90-day jail sentence.
How does cannabis DUI differ from alcohol DUI?
Cannabis DUI cases face unique challenges as Oregon State Crime Lab doesn't test for psychoactive ingredients. Our attorneys leverage specialized knowledge to challenge these complex cases.
What are commercial drivers' DUI penalties?
Commercial drivers face stricter .04% BAC limit and cannot use diversion programs. We focus on protecting professional driving careers through targeted defense strategies and license preservation efforts.
Can I restore a permanently revoked license?
Oregon allows license restoration after 10 years for permanent revocation. Our attorneys guide clients through this complex process to regain driving privileges.
