Portland Out-of-State DUI Lawyers
People who live in Vancouver, Washington, and the surrounding areas routinely travel to Portland and elsewhere in Oregon for work, recreation and other reasons. Portland is a popular destination for people throughout the United States as well. Out-of-state travelers are just as likely to be charged with drunk driving as people who live in the area. If you live in Washington or somewhere else in the United States and were charged with DUI in the Portland area, it is important that you enlist the services of an experienced, skilled attorney. An out-of-state drunk driving conviction can impact your driving privileges in your home state. For many years, people facing DUI charges have turned to the law firm of Helzer Cromar & Schneider. Based in Beaverton, we serve clients who have been charged with DUI across the Portland area.
What Will Happen to My Driving License if I Am Convicted of DUI in Oregon?
If you have an out-of-state driver's license and are convicted of drunk driving, the state of Oregon will not have the power to suspend or revoke your driver's license. With that said, most states, including Oregon, participate in the Driver License Compact. Under the Driver License Compact, states share information about driver's license suspensions of nonresidents. Therefore, it is likely you face the suspension or revocation of your license in your home state if you are convicted of drunk driving.
Placing an Emphasis on Convenient Representation
If you do not live in Oregon and are facing drunk driving charges in our state, it can be a great hardship to make numerous visits to and from Oregon in your case. Our law firm will try to make your defense as convenient for you as possible. We will work hard to limit the number of times you will have to appear in court.
