Portland Area Criminal Defense Attorneys

Helping Clients Make Informed Decisions

When faced with criminal charges, it is easy to panic and act impulsively without considering the consequences. At Helzer & Cromar, LLP, we help clients sort through the facts surrounding a criminal allegation and make informed decisions about their future.

If you have been charged with drunk driving, drug possession or any other crime, contact our law firm or call us at 503-608-7851. We will lay out your options and help you make an informed decision specific to your case.


Criminal Defense in the Greater Portland Area

At Helzer & Cromar, we defend clients facing a wide range of misdemeanor and felony crimes:

  • DUI / DUII
  • Drug Offenses
  • Domestic Violence
  • Assault and Battery
  • Theft Crimes
  • Measure 11 Crimes
  • Traffic Violations

There is no one-sized-fits-all solution to every legal problem; effective criminal defense requires taking the time to get to know our clients and learning about their unique circumstances. We investigate all possible defense options, and work closely with clients to choose one that is right for them. By providing clients with options that fit their life, we are often able to minimize the impact of criminal charges.

Alternatives to Trial

There are options available to minimize the impact of a criminal conviction. Not everyone can afford, nor do they want to go through the expense, time and energy of a trial. If you are eligible, there may be alternatives available. Our attorneys can explain these options and determine whether you meet the eligibility requirements:

  • Diversion — Persons accused of certain crimes, including first-time DUI/DUII offenders may be eligible to participate in a diversion program whereby the sentence is stayed and a conviction not entered pending participation in the program. Upon completion of the program, the court may dismiss your case, thus giving you the opportunity to keep a clean criminal record.
  • Expungements — Individuals convicted of certain crimes may be able to have the conviction removed from their permanent record.
