Don’t Go It Alone · Our Experienced Lawyers Will Stand With You

In Oregon, a stalking protective order is a permanent court action that becomes a part of your permanent record with law enforcement. From this point on, a prospective employer will be able to find this piece of personal history on any background check performed on you. Access to your children may be limited. You could be denied the right to own a firearm.

We will work to have your stalking protective order vacated or removed. Case law allows us to do that if conditions pertaining to the original order no longer exist. Whatever the charge, whatever the outcome, at the end of the process, you will know that your rights were protected.

      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.
