Drug Possession Services We Provide
Our Portland drug possession lawyer handles a wide range of drug possession cases, including those involving:
- Marijuana Possession: Oregon has decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. Adults 21 years or older can possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana in public and up to 8 ounces in their residence. Possession of more than these amounts may result in a misdemeanor or felony charge, depending on the quantity.
- Cocaine Possession: In Oregon, possession of a controlled substance like cocaine is a misdemeanor if it is 2 to 8 grams.
- Heroin Possession: Possession of 1 to 3 grams of heroin is a misdemeanor in Oregon.
Other drugs, such as methamphetamine, ketamine, and GHB, are treated similarly to cocaine and heroin. Possession of less than a certain amount is a misdemeanor offense, and possession of more than a certain amount is a felony offense.

"Rob Cleland was the best thing that could have happened!"I received a felony DUI during a relapse after 10 years of recovery. When I got sober, I was staying with a friend whose life was severely effected because of having a felony on his record. He kindly offered to pay part of the legal fee to see Rob Cleland and that was the best thing that could have happened!
Rob worked tirelessly to get me diversion even though it wasn't an option due to missed court dates. Then, instead of judging me, he helped me to renew my diversion when I wasn't able to complete it the first time due to relapses. All throughout the process, Rob showed endless compassion and understanding at a time that I needed it the most. I am so grateful to my friend and to rob for their amazing help.
I have recommended friends to Rob Cleland and will continue to do so.- Satia
