Representation Under Investigation

Legal Representation While Under Investigation

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom. You can only be free if I am free.

Clarence Darrow, Address to the court in People v. Lloyd (1920)

Timing Is Crucial

In some situations, it is absolutely essential to have strong legal representation before you have been charged with a crime. If you or a loved one is under investigation regarding a state or federal criminal matter in Oregon, talk to me, defense attorney Steven J. Sherlag. I may be able to help you improve the outcome of your case through early intervention and decisive action.

Many people underestimate the danger they are in while being investigated, sometimes because they are in denial about the seriousness of the matter and sometimes because they do not understand the severity of the possible consequences. If you are convicted of a felony in federal or state court, you may be facing a mandatory minimum jail or prison sentence, large fines, required sex offender registration or other unwanted outcomes.
