Protect Your License After a DUII
If you were pulled over for drunk driving, you may be terrified about the consequences. You are worried about losing your license, increased insurance rates and heavy fines. At the law office of Jensen & Leiberan, we represent clients in DUII matters throughout Washington County, Multnomah County, Clackamas County and Yamhill County in the state of Oregon and Clark County in the state of Washington. Contact our firm online or call 503-641-7990 to schedule your appointment in Beaverton, Oregon.
DELAY CAN COST YOU SOME OF YOUR RIGHTS. TIME IS IMPORTANT, SO CONTACT US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER YOUR ARREST. In Oregon, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has the authority to suspend your license. If you received notice at the time of your arrest that your driver's license was suspended, you have 10 days after that arrest to request a hearing to contest the suspension. When you contact our firm, we can help you appeal your license suspension.
DUII Diversion
If you have never been convicted of a DUII before or have not been convicted of a DUII in Oregon in the last ten years, Oregon's DUII diversion program may be available to you. Through this program, if you successfully complete a series of alcohol or drug treatment classes, your DUII charge is dismissed and you will not have a criminal conviction. We can help you decide whether DUII diversion is right for you.
We Know What the Prosecutors Are Looking For
Prior to working with Jensen & Leiberan, our DUII attorney —Lee D.. Pritchard — worked as a prosecutor. Because she has worked on the other side, she knows what the prosecutors are looking for. We build a strong defense for our clients, proactively addressing issues the prosecutors might see as a weakness in your case.
Experience Handling Hundreds of DUII Cases
During her work as a defense lawyer and prosecutor, Ms. Pritchard has handled hundreds of DUII cases. When you contact our firm, we will take the time to understand every aspect of your arrest. In addition to reviewing the police records, we will also ask you questions to understand the story from your point of view:
- How much did you have to drink?
- How long ago was the arrest?
- Were you given an alcohol breath test?
- Were you given field sobriety tests?
- Were the breath test and field sobriety test properly administered?
- If there are charges in addition to the DUII, what actually happened prior to and at the time of arrest?
If this is your first DUII arrest, we can help you enter the diversion program, or if you are not eligible for diversion, we can advise you of your other options, helping you to minimize the consequences of your arrest. Contact our firm online or call 503-641-7990 to schedule an appointment.
