Relief From Sex Offender Registration In Oregon
Anyone whose name appears on the Oregon sex offender registry knows how burdensome the registry can be. Potential employers, landlords, institutions of higher learning and other organizations routinely use the list to screen out sex offenders. And listing on the registry is for life.
However, some people convicted of sex crimes may be able to get their names removed from the registry. This can lift a heavy burden from their shoulders and enable them to live their lives free from the stigma of registration. It is also possible for some people to obtain a reclassification from Level 3 sex offender status to Level 2, or reclassification from Level 2 to Level 1.

How To Get Your Name Removed From The Oregon Sex Offender Registry
Only people meeting certain criteria are eligible for relief from registration. To get your name removed from the Oregon sex offender registry, you must present numerous documents and supporting evidence to the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision. The burden is on the petitioner to provide:
“clear and convincing evidence that the person is rehabilitated and does not pose a threat to the safety of the public.”
In a free consultation, I can review your situation and explain your options. If you are eligible, I will prepare and file the necessary papers for an affordable fee. I will also represent you in a hearing before the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision or Psychiatric Security Review Board.
People who were convicted of sex crimes in other states and who currently live in Oregon and meet the required conditions may also be able to get their names removed from the list.
