Oregon First-Time DUI Offenders

For those who face arrest and conviction due to DUI, it can be a troubling and stressful experience, especially if it is your first time dealing with the law. Anyone who wants to ensure that their rights as a resident of Bend, Oregon are not violated in any way must seek the professional guidance and legal advice of a DUI attorney.

It is very common to feel a lot of pressure to sign a plea deal offered by the police because it looks like the easiest option available. This is a misconception that a good DUI attorney can explain to you once they are a part of your legal team. Before calling the first law firm you see, here are some solid pointers when choosing the right Bend DUI attorney.

Highly Experienced Deschutes County Oregon DUI Defense Attorneys

Our DUI defense team is made up of former Washington County prosecutors who understand the ins and outs of Oregon State’s intricate laws. Not all law firms have this advantage, not all attorneys have the same 20 years of experience with criminal defense and dealing with drunk driving/DUI charges. When looking for the best criminal law team to help you deal with a DUI conviction it’s always advantageous to retain the services of the most experienced attorney possible. A lawyer whose primary focus is working with criminal charges daily, especially overthrowing DUI charges, which should be on the top of your list.

Local Bend DUI Lawyers with Over 20 Years of Combined Experience

Bend which is part of Deschutes County is considered Central Oregon’s biggest city. Despite its vast expanse, the city still has a relatively low population density, but the numbers have steadily grown within the last few years. In as recent as 2019, it is estimated that there are over 197,488 residents living in the Bend / Redmond Oregon area, marking the city as the fifth largest metropolitan area in the state.

With the population of Bend quickly growing and the roads becoming more congested, there have also been more roadside accidents. Many of these can be attributed to Driving Under the Influence (DUI) which means the services of the trusted local Oregon defense attorneys are slowly becoming more and more important.

It is never a good idea to hire a criminal defense attorney who is based outside of Bend, or worse, outside of Oregon. The local laws are usually different in every state when it comes to DUI charges, first-time offenders, and repeat offenders. To get the most out of your DUI lawyer’s services only choose those who are locally based because they will know more about the local court than any outsider ever will. Attorneys who know the state and city well will come up with better arguments to win your case or get your conviction reduced or even expunged from your records.

      Jason Wheeless is one incredible attorney. From the very beginning I felt at ease and confident he would do everything in his power to achieve an ideal outcome for me. In less than 10 days Jason was able to do what I thought would be nearly impossible. I can’t thank you enough, Jason, you are simply amazing! I also want to thank you for your kind and sincere words of support and encouragement. I am truly grateful for your counsel and wisdom.

      I am so grateful for the guidance and support my attorney, Jenna Richards, provided. She gave me sound, straightforward advice and always made sure I understood my options. Most importantly, Jenna never made me feel judged or like a bad person—something that meant so much to me during a very difficult and unfortunate situation. She stood by me through the entire process and helped me get through it step by step. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone who needs not only strong legal representation but also compassion and understanding along the way.

      Very professional and helpful law group. Right off the bat, they made me feel like they had my best interests at heart. Never felt any judgement or any sense that I was wasting their time with my questions, no matter how simple the questions may have been. And they always made themselves readily available to help me with sudden unexpected concerns that may have come up.
