What To Do If You're Charged With a Crime in Oregon

Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming. Here’s what to do next.

If you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime in Oregon, it’s critical to act fast — and smart. Your future, your rights, and even your freedom may be at stake.

1. Don’t Talk Without a Lawyer: You have the right to remain silent. Use it. Anything you say can be used against you.

2. Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney Immediately: An experienced attorney like Clint Jones can help protect your rights, review evidence, negotiate on your behalf, or take your case to trial if needed.

3. Understand the Charges: Whether it's a Measure 11 offense, DUII, or property crime, knowing what you're up against helps you prepare the right defense.

4. Prepare for Court: Show up on time, follow your attorney’s advice, and take your situation seriously — the outcome depends on it.
