Trial-Ready Defense. Clear Next Steps. Local Court Experience.
If you’ve been charged with a crime in Ashland, you’re likely dealing with stress about jail, your record, your job, and your family. You need straight answers and a plan.
Kollie Law represents people facing criminal charges in Ashland and throughout Jackson County. We focus on DUII, Measure 11 charges, drug offenses, and serious person and property crimes. Our job is to protect your rights, explain what happens next, and prepare your case as if it could go to trial.

That means your driver’s license can be suspended quickly—even before your court case is resolved—unless a hearing is requested in time.
We handle that filing for you and prepare you for what happens next.
