Erik always provides a free consultation. This will give you an opportunity to do three important things:

Discuss your case and understand how we can help you.
There’s a good chance you have never hired a lawyer and don’t know what to expect. We want to make this process easy from beginning to end. We understand that choosing a lawyer is a big decision and we want you to learn about our successful approach to criminal defense.
Learn how Oregon law applies to your situation.
There is a lot of false information about criminal law especially on the Internet. I often speak to people who are making decisions based on information that is just plain wrong. The defense decisions you make today can have dramatic and lasting impacts for the rest of your life. Make sure you are building a solid strategy based on accurate and timely information.
Learn the costs of hiring a lawyer & what to expect moving forward
One of the most common questions we hear is “how much does it cost to hire a criminal defense lawyer?” Unfortunately, the answer is “it depends”. We offer an upfront flat fee and payment plans for all cases. We know hiring a criminal defense attorney is unexpected so we try to offer excellent service at a lower price than our competitors.
