What We Do

We are a public defense firm which contracts with the State of Oregon’s Office of Public Defense Services to represent clients across Eastern Oregon. Our team of attorneys, investigators and legal assistants works together to ensure a robust and comprehensive legal defense. We fight to ensure the best outcomes for each individual we are assigned to represent.

Criminal Defense

We represent adults who are accused of crimes, including misdemeanors and major felonies. We help our clients navigate a complex system and we fight to get them the best possible options to choose from. We help clients make informed decisions at every stage.

Juvenile Defense

We represent youths to ensure they get a fair hearing in their cases and that their rights and protections are respected. The juvenile justice system requires special considerations and expertise. We advocate for the rights and the long-term interests of all our juvenile clients.

Juvenile Dependency

A court can appoint us to represent either the children, or one of the parents in a dependency case. Dependency cases can be complex and difficult matters. We will help you understand the system and the choices available to you every step of the way.

Our Mission

To champion the marginalized using the tools we have by virtue of our legal educations and legal skills.

Our Work

We are appointed by the court for clients who cannot otherwise afford an attorney. We represent clients in Baker, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Union and Wallowa Counties.

Our Philosophy

We put our client at the center of every case, and make sure you are informed and in control of the process. And if you want us to fight, we come loaded for bear.
