DUII / Drunk Driving
A DUII Charge Is Not a Foregone Conclusion.
Oregon DUII cases move fast — your license can be suspended within 30 days of arrest. The sooner you have an attorney, the more options you have.
What You're Facing with an Oregon DUII
A first-offense DUII in Oregon is a Class A misdemeanor carrying mandatory minimum fines, a 90-day to 1-year license suspension, and possible jail time. A second offense within 5 years is a felony. Beyond the criminal case, the DMV runs a parallel administrative process — the Implied Consent hearing — that can suspend your license independently of the criminal outcome. Both fronts require attention from day one.
How I Defend DUII Cases
Challenging the Traffic Stop
If the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to pull you over, everything that followed may be suppressible. The stop is always the first thing I examine.
Field Sobriety Test Challenges
Field sobriety tests are subjective, affected by nerves, medical conditions, and road conditions. I know how to challenge their reliability and the officer's administration of them.
Breath and Blood Test Challenges
Breathalyzer results are not infallible. Calibration records, operator certification, and testing procedures all matter — and errors can invalidate results.

You have only 10 days from arrest to request a hearing to contest your license suspension. I handle both the criminal case and the DMV process simultaneously.
