Multnomah County Jail Attorneys

If you are facing time in Multnomah County Jail you should definitely talk to a good attorney to find out what your options are. It is important that you find a local criminal defense attorney with expertise in your area:

Why is specialization so important?
If you have been charged with a DUI you probably don't want to be represented by somebody who typically handles violent crimes - the attorney may be great at what they do, but you need a referral from somebody with similar charges who can vouch for your attorney.

Another common pitfall is the "friend or family attorney" - you call somebody because you happen to be related to them or know somebody who is. This is usually the worst decision - you don't question their competence (even though sometimes you should) and all the sudden your personal, private matter starts affecting other facets of your life - stay away from the friend or relative!

One of the most important decisions you will make during the process of a criminal conviction is who you will hire to represent you - find a local attorney for your case.
