Eugene, Oregon, Criminal Defense Attorneys

If you are facing Oregon state or municipal criminal charges, it is important to promptly retain competent criminal defense legal counsel.  A thorough review by an Oregon criminal defense attorney followed by an investigation can often make or break a case. The most candid remarks from potential witnesses come before the state has had multiple opportunities to interrogate and prepare witnesses. This is especially important in serious felony cases or Measure 11 and other mandatory minimum sentence cases.

When your liberty is in jeopardy due to a criminal case, it is important to invest in an Oregon criminal defense lawyer who will give your case the attention that it and you deserve.  You need to make an informed decision about the merits and hazards of a jury trial versus the advantages of plea negotiations. 

Attorney C. Michael Arnold regularly tries cases before juries. As a former Eugene city prosecutor, he is well versed in the strategies and tactics that prevail at trial.

Pretrial Release Decision (Bail and Release Agreements)

Your attorney can move the court for pretrial release or to reduce bail. Most Oregon counties have true judicial scrutiny of the bail amounts and release decisions. Lane County in particular has been under increased scrutiny for its failure to have an elected judge truly review the release decisions by the unelected bureaucrats at Pretrial Services, an arm of the circuit court. More information about this process may be found here.
