Portland Criminal Defense Lawyers

If you are facing criminal charges, there are many points in the process where an effective lawyer can make a difference in the outcome. The highly experienced criminal defense attorneys at Levine & McHenry LLC know how to capitalize on those opportunities. We have had success at every stage of the process, from pre-indictment and pretrial proceedings through representation in trials, appeals and post-conviction relief. Our downtown Portland law firm serves clients throughout the Willamette Valley and statewide Oregon.

Cutting-Edge Representation For Serious Criminal Charges

We provide zealous representation and tailored defense strategies to achieve the best possible outcome. Our criminal defense practice is geared for the most serious offenses, in both state and federal courts:

  • Drug possession and distribution
  • Sex offenses, including prostitution and pornography
  • Major felonies such as assault, robbery, rape and manslaughter
  • White collar crimes such as fraud and identity theft
  • Felony theft and burglary

Our legal team has obtained remarkable results at different junctures of the criminal justice system: avoiding arrest, dismissal of charges, favorable plea agreements, jury acquittals, alternative penalties and overturned convictions. In particular, we are known for our abilities in sentencing mitigation and criminal appeals and post-conviction work.
