While state and federal conversations around drug offenses are changing, authorities in Oregon take these crimes seriously. Prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions in the name of getting drugs off the streets and preventing addiction. Oftentimes, innocent people are caught up in these initiatives by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It is a common misconception that those accused of driving under the influence (also known as DUI or drunk driving) are unable to fight back against these allegations. In fact, there are numerous legal defenses that can allow you to reduce or even eliminate the charges against you. If you or a loved one are facing DUI criminal charges, your first priority is finding a skillful Portland DUI attorney.
If you were arrested or convicted of a crime in the past, you probably already paid the price. Unfortunately, your past may still come back to haunt your present life. Employers, landlords, and universities commonly perform criminal background checks these days. While everyone makes mistakes, they can learn from them and make changes for the better.

I cannot recommend Mr. Cleland enough. The situation I found myself in was unique, complex, unjust and scary. I called around and spoke with attorney after attorney, all of whom were happy to take my case, but made me feel like I'm a number. When I came across Mr. Cleland's website and read the testimonies of his clients, I immediately called to see for myself. I was met with confidence, supreme knowledge and most importantly, compassion. Rob made me feel like a person, not a case. Beyond that, he possessed a thorough knowledge of the law, was able to articulate the far-reaching implications of

I have had the unfortunate need for multiple attorneys in the last few months. Robert Cleland is the best of all of them. He is professional, intelligent and genuinely cares for others. He saved my job, my time with my children, and many other things. He is humble, honest and kind. He will give you good sound advice when needed. I can not recommend him enough.

I put my faith in Rob after speaking to him and he didn't disappoint. Finding the right attorney is so important. I feel I hit the jackpot when I found Rob Cleland. He listened, made a game-plan and executed it brilliantly. Not only did he achieve what I wanted, but he also showed empathy and understanding and proved that he actually cared about me, my situation and my over-all well-being. Class act for sure. I'd be happy to speak to anyone personally about how important hiring him would be for your case.

I contacted Rob on short notice for a traffic offense. He was always very quick to respond with any questions I had leading up to my court date and was very reassuring. He kept me informed every step of the way and was confident and professional throughout. I couldn't have been happier with his devotion and work ethic. I highly recommend Rob.

Words can’t even describe how honest, loyal, friendly, caring, and genuine this guy is. And if I tried I’d be here typing for a very long time. Their is absolutely nothing better that he could’ve done. The feeling I always got from Rob is that it’s not just your case. When he’s up their fighting for you; you get the feeling from him that he’s almost fighting for his own freedom and not just yours. And that if it goes wrong then he’s the one suffering the consequences. That’s when I knew that I could put everything in his hands and he wouldn’t let me down. As a result I was walking
