Drunk Driving Defense
At Helzer & Cromar, we defend people charged with drunk driving in Oregon. In our experience, people charged with DUI or DUII need an attorney to get them through the process — not avoid it. Our experience allows us to consider all angles of a case and develop the best defense for each client.
DUII in Oregon
Besides alcohol, driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) can involve prescription drugs, illegal drugs, and other controlled substances. No matter what intoxicant is involved, an individual charged with DUII faces the same strict penalties if found guilty.
Trial Alternatives
Besides the time and cost involved in the original court proceedings, having a criminal record can affect an individual for years to come. Finding a job, renting an apartment, and other facets of life can be made more complicated with a criminal record.
By participating in the Oregon diversion program, an individual who has been arrested for drunk driving may be able to prevent the conviction from being entered into his or her permanent record. The conviction is stayed pending participation in the program. If all the requirements of the program have been satisfied, the case will be dismissed and a conviction may not be entered. It may also be possible to have a conviction expunged afterward. Contact our lawyers for more information about these options
