Medford Criminal Defense Attorney

As a criminal defense attorney in Medford Oregon, I specialize in defending Second Amendment rights and represent clients facing major felony and firearm arrests throughout Oregon. I am the principal attorney of Kollie Law, located in Medford, Oregon, and I have extensive experience in criminal law, having practiced in almost every county in Oregon as well as the Federal Courts. 

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and I obtained my law degree from the University of Oregon School of Law after graduating from Oregon State University. During my second year of law school, I worked as a law clerk on criminal and DUII defense matters in the Portland Metro Area. As a third-year law student, I interned with the Lane County Public Defender's Office and later worked at a boutique criminal defense and DUII law firm in Portland, Oregon, where I trained under former prosecutors and experienced defense attorneys. I have taken on hundreds of cases and am certified by NHTSA and IACP to conduct field sobriety tests. I use my expertise to assist clients in DMV hearings and DUI trials throughout Oregon. 

I have also helped countless individuals by instructing CHL classes, challenging the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and assisting in obtaining Federal Firearms Licenses. 

My experience and training have made me an ideal trial attorney. After practicing law in Portland for over seven years and in Bend for six years, I moved my family to Medford, Oregon in 2021. I am married and the proud father of twin boys, and I enjoy spending time with my family, running, hiking, hunting, and shooting. 

Medford Criminal Defense Attorney Services We Offer

With my training and experience, I am dedicated to defending your rights and ensuring that you receive the best possible outcome in your DUI case.

Drug Crimes 

Oregon has a range of drug crimes that are punishable under state and federal laws, and I understand how daunting it can be to face these charges. If you or a loved one is facing drug charges of any kind, I am here to help. I have extensive experience in defending individuals against drug charges, and I can work with you to build a strong defense strategy. 

I can review the evidence against you and ensure that your rights were not violated during the arrest and investigation process. Additionally, I can negotiate with the prosecution on your behalf and potentially reduce your charges or penalties. 

Moreover, I can help you understand the various options available to you, such as drug court, diversion programs, and plea bargaining, and work with you to determine the best course of action based on your individual circumstances.

Gun Rights 

With over 15 years of legal practice, I have developed a reputation as a skilled advocate for individuals facing criminal charges related to firearms. One of the areas of focus in our practice is defending individuals who have been charged with gun crimes, such as illegal possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, or possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

We have also defended clients facing charges related to violent crimes involving firearms, such as assault and homicide. 

 

In addition to my legal practice, we are also firearms instructors certified by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). This background gives us a unique perspective on gun laws and regulations and allows us to provide our clients with practical advice on firearms training and safety.

Property Crimes 

Property crimes in Medford, Oregon, and throughout the state, include a variety of offenses, such as theft, identity theft, forgery, burglary, and vandalism, For someone with very little or no criminal history, there may be civil compromises available for most of the crimes mentioned above. Repeat offenders will likely receive harsher punishment. 

If you or a loved one are being charged with a property crime, don’t attempt to walk the path alone. I can help you explore potential defenses, such as questioning the reliability of any witnesses or evidence presented by the prosecution or challenging the legality of the search and seizure that led to your arrest. 

Sex Crimes 

Sex crimes in Oregon include a range of offenses, such as sexual assault, rape, sexual abuse, and child pornography. These crimes can carry severe penalties, including long-term imprisonment, hefty fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. 

If you're facing sex crime charges in Oregon, it's important to seek the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney like myself. As a criminal defense attorney in Medford, I have extensive experience in defending individuals against sex crime charges and can help you understand the charges you're facing and the potential consequences. I can assist you by reviewing the evidence against you and developing a strong defense strategy. I can also help you navigate the complex legal process, protect your rights, and advocate for the best possible outcome in your case. 

Additionally, I have experience working with expert witnesses, such as psychologists and medical professionals, to challenge the prosecution's case and question the reliability of any evidence presented. Furthermore, I can negotiate with the prosecution on your behalf and potentially reduce your charges or penalties.

Expungement 

Expungement is a legal process in which an individual's criminal record is sealed or erased. Expungement allows people with past criminal records to move on with their lives without the stigma of a criminal record affecting their future opportunities, such as employment or housing. 

In Oregon, expungement is available for certain types of convictions, including some misdemeanors, some non-conviction records, and some juvenile records. However, not all crimes are eligible for expungement, and the requirements and procedures for expungement can vary depending on the type of conviction or record.

Our team at Kollie Law can help you determine if you are eligible for expungement and guide you through the expungement process. The process typically involves filing a petition with the court, providing information about the conviction or record to be expunged, and attending a hearing. 

To successfully petition for expungement, an attorney must show that the individual has met all the eligibility requirements, including the waiting period, payment of all fines and restitution, and compliance with all other court orders. 

Furthermore, an attorney must provide compelling reasons why the individual deserves expungement and how it will benefit their future prospects. This may include showing that the individual has been rehabilitated and has not been involved in any criminal activity since the conviction.
