An arrest for drunk driving — officially called driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) in Oregon — leads quickly and directly to a series of decisions that will be pivotal for your future. The most critical may well be, "Should I hire a defense attorney to represent me or just plead guilty and accept the consequences?"
At Helzer Cromar & Schneider in Beaverton, Oregon, we know this is not an easy decision. We know that most people in Portland and the surrounding area are under severe economic pressure these days, and that paying a lawyer without knowing how much difference it will make in the outcome of your DUI case is a tough leap to take. We offer a reasonably priced DUI defense consultation focused squarely on your specific needs and concerns.
Legal Guidance You Can Trust on DUII Charges and Consequences
Only you can determine whether your financial and overall personal situation justifies investing in a Portland DUI attorney for yourself, your underage child charged with DUI or another family member. The counsel we offer our clients includes the following key points:
- It is essential to evaluate the full extent of the consequences of an Oregon DUII conviction in your specific case, including the potential impact on your job or a child's future prospects.
- Anyone facing a felony DUI charge due to prior offenses, charged with causing a DUII-related accident, or in need of CDL defense to continue making a living should hire the best DUI lawyer he or she can afford.
- There are viable, effective DUII defense strategies — and only an experienced, dedicated attorney who puts the time in to investigate and analyze your specific case will know whether they could work for you.
- Diversion — a program to keep a conviction off your criminal record — may be an option if this is your first DUII offense and you meet other eligibility criteria.
- A lawyer with extensive experience dealing with both the court system and the DMV can be instrumental in accomplishing your most critical goals, such as avoiding jail time or obtaining a hardship license for work during your driver's license suspension period.
