Felonies

Felonies are serious criminal offenses. They carry long prison sentences and substantial fines upon conviction — to say nothing of the problems you will have acquiring employment or housing upon your release. Your every move will be watched by parole officers. Every day of your life will have to be perfectly executed from that point on.

You owe it to yourself and your family to avoid these harsh punishments, a criminal record, damage to your reputation and separation from your loved ones. If you are facing a felony charge in Greater Portland or anywhere in Oregon, you should contact our experienced criminal defense lawyers at Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group immediately.

Our Portland felony criminal defense lawyers can aggressively protect your rights. Don’t waste time with attorney selection while prosecutors build a case against you. Call us now at 503-747-7198. We will respond promptly to your email or overnight message. We can arrange to conduct your free initial consultation at a police station or jail if necessary.

Don’t Go It Alone · Our Portland Felony Defense Lawyers Will Be There by Your Side

There is no law that says you have to bear the emotional and financial burden of a felony charge or Measure 11 crime by yourself. Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group’s legal team will fight right alongside you from arraignment to outcome. We will investigate your charges, negotiate skillfully with prosecutors and operate aggressively in court, using the facts of your situation to connect with judge and jury.

We know that your freedoms and future hinge on your trial verdict or plea offer. We will leave nothing to chance in safeguarding your interests.

The penalties you face upon conviction for a felony are reason enough for us to explore every avenue for reduction or dismissal of charges or outright acquittal. For example: Third-degree assault, first-degree theft, a third DUI and a hit-and-run with injuries are Class C felonies, punishable by five years in jail and a $125,000 fine.

Second-degree assault or a drug crime charge such as distribution of cocaine is a Class B felony. They carry a 10-year potential prison term and $250,000 in fines. A conviction for first-degree assault, a Class A felony, could bring 20 years of incarceration and a fine of $375,000.

You can depend on our skilled, client-committed Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group defense attorneys — and their more than 25 years of combined trial and plea negotiation experience — to give you the best chance of success with your charges. We know sentencing guidelines, defense strategies and how to get results. We have successfully represented thousands of individuals and families throughout the Portland metropolitan area with professionalism and dedication.

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.

Melodie did an awesome job on my case. She was involved for over a year until I went to trial and I could not have asked for a better outcome. Saved me from incarceration and helped me through the whole process which was a very difficult case. Could not have asked for a better lawyer and support system! Thank you so much Melodie!!!

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.
