An Oregon DUII Can Affect You in Other States. Oregon participates in an agreement known as the “Driver License Compact” along with 44 other states and the District of Columbia. This means that even though Oregon can only suspend your driving privileges within Oregon, your home state can impose its own penalties based on the Oregon DUII conviction.
Wendy V.
I hired Adam Thayne to defend me in a misdemeanor traffic charge. Potential jail sentence and a substantial fine was all I could think about. After our first meeting, I felt a huge relief because of the confidence he had in himself to take on this task and his assurance that I was in good hands. His interactions with the court staff and judge showed me that they were closely aquatinted and worked well with each other. It ended with me having to pay the minimum fine and bench probation, far exceeding my expectations. Best money I've ever spent. Thanks Adam.

Barre
A series of unfortunate events completely flipped my life upside down, and I had zero trust in anyone...
To my surprise, I was met with kindness and compassion... I knew as soon as I met Joe Beck that I’d be hiring him.
Joe has this amazing ability to make you feel seen and heard... He was realistic, knowledgeable, easy to reach, and transparent...
I was referred to Alescia Davies... I can’t stress enough how brilliant and skilled she is... I’m still over the moon about her work on my case and the outcome
Daniel Mendoza
I want to thank the Buffet of Lawyers, they helped me in a DUI case...
Lawyer Adam from the buffet Harry Velazquez Gibbens helped me... he was honest...
He went to court with me he helped me, he told me to have peace of mind...
He was attentive to everything... he is bilingual he speaks Spanish so double help... Without hesitation I recommend 100% to lawyers and especially to lawyer Adam.
