Misdemeanor Defense Lawyers in Hillsboro

Experienced Washington County Criminal Defense Attorneys

Many people make the mistake of thinking that because misdemeanors are less severe than felonies that they do not carry heavy penalties. However, if you or a loved one have been arrested for a misdemeanor offense, you could be facing serious consequences. Cornerstone Law Group has six decades of combined experience defending clients against a wide range of misdemeanor crimes, from DUI to minor theft charges.

Understanding Your Misdemeanor Charges

After you have been charged with a misdemeanor, it is important that you understand your charges and your legal options. If you are convicted, you could be facing jail time, fines, and other civil penalties. Having a criminal record can also affect your personal life and your future employment opportunities. Our goal is to quickly build a case on your behalf that brings into question the allegations against you.

A few examples of misdemeanor offenses we defend include:

Do Misdemeanors Go Away in Oregon?

The way to make a misdemeanor go away is to have it expunged. Most misdemeanors, non-conviction records, and most Class C felonies are expungeable. Only a small number of Class A and B felonies are expungeable. You cannot expunge traffic offenses, DUI charges that were dismissed after completing a diversion program, violent felonies, and most sex crimes. An expungement removes a criminal offense from your record for most purposes—making it easier to get a job, housing or an education. We can help you expunge your misdemeanors! So let us help you with your misdemeanors a.s.a.p!
