Hillsboro and portland Misdemeanor Attorney

Oregon crimes are classified as either misdemeanors or felonies. Misdemeanors are lesser crimes than felonies and carry somewhat lighter penalties. That said, a misdemeanor is still a crime and a conviction can have both short term and long term consequences. In the short term, a misdemeanor conviction can result in jail time, probation, and fines. Conditions of probation may require you to engage in costly treatment classes at your own expense. A misdemeanor conviction can seriously disrupt your life, but hiring an experienced Oregon misdemeanor criminal lawyer can directly change the outcome.
