Measure 11 charges bring high stakes, mandatory sentences, and prosecutors who rarely compromise. You need a lawyer who understands how these cases are built—and how to dismantle them.
I defend clients across Southern Oregon facing the most serious allegations, protecting their rights, reputation, and future with decisive strategy and clear communication.
When police and prosecutors file a Measure 11 charge, everything changes. These cases carry mandatory minimum prison sentences—often decades long—and the state typically commits significant resources to secure a conviction.
I’ve handled serious felony matters throughout Jackson County. My job is to challenge the state from every angle:
Was the arrest lawful?
Did police follow proper procedure?
Is the evidence reliable?
Are witnesses consistent?
Does the charge even fit the facts?
From day one, we build leverage, expose weaknesses, and pursue every viable option to reduce or eliminate mandatory sentencing exposure.
Measure 11 cases demand experience, focus, and a willingness to push back against aggressive prosecution strategies. With me, you get:
Local insight into Jackson County courts, judges, and prosecutorial tendencies
Precision case analysis that uncovers inconsistencies and constitutional issues
Direct communication — you work with your lawyer, not a gatekeeper
Full-scope defense — investigation, motions practice, negotiations, and trial advocacy
A long-term plan for your life beyond the case
When you’re staring down mandatory prison time, you need more than a lawyer—you need an advocate who won’t back down.
Review police reports, body-cam, search warrants, grand jury transcripts, and forensic evidence.
Interview witnesses, challenge identification, examine digital records, and consult experts when needed.
Illegal searches, questionable lineups, coerced statements—every detail is analyzed.
Push for recategorization into non-Measure 11 offenses whenever possible.
Seeking alternatives to mandatory sentences, including treatment pathways, specialty courts, or plea agreements that avoid M11 imprisonment.
If the state won’t make a reasonable offer, we prepare to fight the case in front of a jury.
Deep criminal defense experience across serious felony matters
Direct, honest communication from the moment we meet
Thorough case preparation that builds leverage early
Local courtroom insight that matters when stakes are high
Compassionate representation that respects what you and your family are facing
Trial-ready posture — because prosecutors negotiate differently when they know you’re prepared

Measure 11 imposes mandatory minimum prison sentences, often without eligibility for early release. The judge’s discretion is extremely limited.
Yes. Through negotiations, evidence challenges, or presenting mitigating factors, many cases can be reclassified to a non-M11 offense—removing mandatory sentencing.
Not always. Early, strategic intervention and strong defense work can create opportunities for reductions, agreements, or alternatives.
In some circumstances, yes. Juvenile Measure 11 cases require especially careful handling.
Costs depend on complexity, evidence volume, and whether the case goes to trial. I offer free consultations and transparent fee structures.
