Why Choose Oberdorfer Law Firm?

Oberdorfer Law Firm is a focused Portland criminal-defense practice — primarily DUII, with broader criminal defense as a complement. Founder Richard E. Oberdorfer's decades of Oregon practice mean familiarity with Multnomah and Washington County prosecutors, judges, and trial procedures. The boutique sizing means senior-attorney attention rather than handing cases off after intake. Best fit if you've been arrested for DUII, drug possession, or other state criminal charges in metro Portland and want a focused defense practice rather than a multi-state chain.

First DUII. Richard reviewed the dashcam, identified field-sobriety problems, and got the case reduced to reckless driving. License saved.

Possession charge after a routine stop. Suppression motion excluded the search and the case was dismissed.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

What's the difference between DUII and DUI?
Oregon uses 'DUII' (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) which covers alcohol, drugs (legal or illegal), or any combination. The legal limit is 0.08% BAC for adults (0.04% for commercial drivers, any detectable amount for under-21). A first DUII is typically a Class A misdemeanor with mandatory license suspension, fines, and possible jail time.
What is Oregon's DMV implied consent process?
Refusing a breath test triggers an automatic 1-year license suspension under Oregon's implied-consent law (longer for repeat offenders). A DMV hearing is available within 10 days of the refusal/failure to challenge the suspension. The firm handles these hearings as part of DUII defense.
Can a DUII really be dismissed or reduced?
Yes — dismissals happen, particularly when there are problems with the traffic stop, field-sobriety administration, or breath-test calibration. Reductions to reckless driving (avoiding the DUII-specific consequences) are also available in some cases. Outcomes depend heavily on facts, BAC level, and prior record.
Are flat fees fixed for the whole case?
Most state-court cases use a flat fee that covers attorney work through trial-court resolution. Trial fees, expert witnesses, and appeals are generally separate. The engagement letter spells out what's included before you retain the firm.
Where is the office?
210 SW Morrison Street, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204 — downtown Portland near the courts. Phone (503) 270-3037.
