Oregon Attorney Defending You Every Step of the Way
Being charged with a crime can raise fear of the unknown. You may be unsure of how to proceed and unaware of what you should expect. Regardless of what you're feeling, you need to make sure that you are approaching your situation with caution.
The first thing you should do is hire an experienced lawyer.
At the law office of John E. Gutbezahl, LLC, I work hard to alleviate my clients' fears. I provide them with aggressive criminal defense every step of the way. In my 15 years of practicing law, I have worked as a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney. With my extensive legal knowledge, I walk my clients through the court process, always keeping them apprised what they should expect. E-mail me or call 503.594.1919 to discuss your case. I provide a flexible appointment schedule.
Providing Aggressive Representation and Personal Attention
I am aggressive in the way I fight in court, but that isn't the way I interact with my clients. I take great care in communicating with my clients and giving them the personal attention they deserve. From the very beginning, I will tailor your defense around the individual details of your case, and I will always have your long-term interests in mind.
I practice in federal and state courts, and have successfully defended people facing Measure 11 major felony charges, charges for other felony crimes and misdemeanor charges. If I cannot negotiate a plea bargain that is in your best interest, I am confident in taking a case to trial. Whether you are facing assault charges, drug charges, weapons charges or any other criminal charge, I can help you protect your rights in court.
I also offer post-conviction relief to people who have been unconstitutionally convicted. Please visit my criminal defense overview to learn about all the areas in which I practice.
