Criminal Defense · Theft & Forgery
Theft, forgery, and identity theft defense.
Theft offenses are aggressively prosecuted in Oregon, due in part to Ballot Measure 57's repeat-offender enhancements. A conviction carries collateral consequences far beyond the sentence, employment, licensing, immigration. We approach each case with that in mind.
