3. Garcia, Oscar: It is very important that you not saying anything about your case while waiting in the court room. Typically, all court proceedings are being recorded while the court is in session. Finally, when your case is called by the judge and you are sitting at counsel's table (next to your lawyer), it is important that you not speak until your lawyer says it is okay. At that time, everything is being recorded and that recording is a public record. If a statement is made by you that may damage your defense, then the prosecutor may use it as evidence against you.

7. Collins, Tom: Success in criminal cases often hinges on getting started as soon as possible. If the police are attempting to speak with you, or you have been arrested, getting an attorney with the experience and resources to preserve the evidence and find the witnesses as soon as possible is tremendously important. Early intervention may lead to cases not getting charged by the District Attorney, or decreasing the number and severity of potential charges because all of the evidence, not just what the police found makes its way into court. Since the passage of OregonÕs Ballot Measure 11, along with other laws that call for mandatory prison sentences, the stakes have been raised for defendants in criminal cases. People under investigation or charged with crimes need experienced counsel to assist them through the process, and achieve the best outcome.
8. Garland Burton McCaffery: While all circuit courts in Oregon must follow the Oregon Revised Statutes, the criminal justice process can vary greatly from county to county. It is thus extremely important that a criminal defense lawyer be very familiar with the particular circuit court ("venue") in which the attorney practices.

Oregon DUII Law Oregon DUII arrests (often called DUI or DWI) trigger two separate cases: (1) a criminal case, where significant punishment including jail time, fines, mandatory classes, required ignition interlock devices, and other consequences are sought; and (2) a DMV case, where the person's driver's license may be suspended from anywhere from 90 days, to three years. The DMV Case IMPORTANT: To contest a DMV suspension, you must request a hearing with the Oregon DMV, in writing, within ten days of the arrest. Failure to do so will mean that DMV will suspend your license without a hearing. If you request a hearing, then the officer must appear at an administrative hearing, and provide evidence that there was reason to believe you were driving under the influence, and that the officer either performed the breath test accurately, or that you refuse the test. The Criminal Case Oregon DUI / DWI law does not require that you be drunk to be convicted of Oregon drunk driving. In Oregon, you may be convicted of DUII if you are merely affected to some perceptible degree by the intoxicant you have consumed. The test is whether you lack the clearness of mind and physical control that you normally possess because of the intoxicant you have consumed. Intoxicants include drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both. If you are in such a physical condition through the use of medication, drugs or even fatigue so that you become affected by a lesser amount of intoxicant than would normally affect you, you may still be found guilty of the charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants if your mental or physical faculties are affected to a noticeable degree. Being convicted of Driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) has extremely serious consequences and penalties. If found guilty on a first offense DUII, you could be fined $6,250, your driver's license will be suspended for one year, and you will be required to submit to an alcohol evaluation at your own expense and to complete any treatment program recommended by the evaluator, and you could receive one year in the county jail. The court may also order: * A period of probation; * At least 48 hours in jail or at least 80 hours of community service; * Unitary Assessment of $90.00; * Mandatory minimum fine of $1,000; * That you obey all laws during the probation period; * That you not drink alcohol or use or possess drugs; * That you attend a Victims Impact Panel. For a second DUI conviction the fine will be a minimum of $1,500.00, and a driver's license suspension may be elevated to 3 years. For a third DUI conviction the fine will be a minimum of $2,000.00, and your driver's license could be revoked for life. If you are convicted of a fourth DUI you may go to prison for over 1 year and suffer a lifetime drivers license revocation. Obviously, the jail sentence imposed on a second or third DUI offense will be significantly greater than the sentence imposed on a first DUI offense. The only way to keep from going to jail or being incarcerated is to fight your DUI case and win. Oregon DUII cases may not be plea-bargained to lesser charges. While plea deals of this type are common in some states, in Oregon this practice is prohibited by state law. Diversion For a first time offender, Diversion may be an option. Under state law, a person who has not been convicted of a DUII or participated in another Diversion type program within the last ten years, can apply for Diversion. Diversion requires you to plea guilty or no contest to the charge and agree to undergo alcohol assessment and treatment. There are also fees and costs. Diversion is not available if youÕve been in court ordered alcohol or drug treatment within the past ten years, if there was an injury accident associated with your DUII, or if you have a CDL (Commercial Drivers License). There are also many other discretionary factors a Judge may consider to disqualify a person from entering a Diversion program. Because you have to enter a guilty or no contest plea to enter Diversion, you should have lawyer review the police reports and the DMV materials, including the breath test documentation, prior to entering the program.
10. Garland & Griffiths: Our Constitution provides every citizen with certain rights when the government accuses that citizen of a criminal offense. Those rights include the right to remain silent. That is, one is not required to speak with any government official without the presence of an attorney. We have the right to be represented by an attorney at any stage of the proceeding. Further rights provide that the government has the burden of proving the criminal offense against a citizen beyond a reasonable doubt, and that proof of guilt be presented to a jury of citizens from the community. Before speaking with any person about any criminal offense, please call for an appointment with an attorney.
11. John Tyner: Under Oregon ÒImplied ConsentÓ laws, anyone with a valid driverÕs license has consented to chemical testing when requested by law enforcement. Failure to consent to a field test can result in immediate license suspension and even the impounding of your vehicle. You have only ten days to notify the Oregon DMV and request an administrative hearing.

Ray Bassel: If you are arrested for DUI or DUII, and you fail or refuse to take a breath-test, you face an automatic suspension of your driverÕs license for by the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) unless you request a hearing within 10 days. This suspension could stand even if you win your DUI case. If you are convicted, you face steep fines and jail time of at least two day for a first offense In addition, you could end up paying high risk auto insurance for several years after you get your driverÕs license back.
