All criminal charges require serious legal guidance.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime it can feel intimidating and overwhelming. The web has bits and pieces of information but it is often outdated or incorrect. Every case is unique and the only way to get meaningful, accurate legal advice is to speak with an experienced local defense attorney about your specific situation. Do not make the mistake of listening to family, friends or co-workers opinion about what will happen in court. Only someone who works in the Washington and Clackamas County courts daily can give you accurate advice.

Free Consultation with Erik Nicholson

I understand that it can be difficult to take the first step, and that is why I provide anyone facing a criminal charge in Oregon a free initial consultation. This gives you an opportunity to do three very important things:

  1. Discuss your case and Understand How I Can Help You.
    There’s a good chance you’ve never hired a lawyer before and do not know what to expect. I want to make this process easy from beginning to end. I understand that choosing a lawyer is a big decision and want you to learn about my successful approach to handling criminal defense matters.
  2. Learn how Oregon law applies to your situation
    There is a lot of false information, especially about criminal law, 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.
  3. Learn the costs of hiring a lawyer, what to expect moving forward
    One of the most common questions I hear is “how much does it cost to hire a criminal defense lawyer?” and unfortunately, the answer is “it depends”. I offer an upfront flat fee and payment plans on all cases. I know hiring a criminal defense attorney is unexpected and for that reason I strive to offer excellent service at a lower price that my competitors.
