Types of Drug Possession Cases We Handle

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.

    "I couldn't have been happier with his devotion and work ethic."
    I contacted Rob on short notice for a traffic offense. He was always very quick to respond with any questions I had leading up to my court date and was very reassuring. He kept me informed every step of the way and was confident and professional throughout. I couldn't have been happier with his devotion and work ethic. I highly recommend Rob.

    "Might as well put a halo on this guy."
    Words can’t even describe how honest, loyal, friendly, caring, and genuine this guy is. And if I tried I’d be here typing for a very long time. Their is absolutely nothing better that he could’ve done. The feeling I always got from Rob is that it’s not just your case. When he’s up their fighting for you; you get the feeling from him that he’s almost fighting for his own freedom and not just yours. And that if it goes wrong then he’s the one suffering the consequences. That’s when I knew that I could put everything in his hands and he wouldn’t let me down. As a result I was walking a free man and it only took the jury 15 min to come with a verdict. Rob is not only an extraordinary, amazing person and lawyer. But he has turned into one of my best friends, and no matter what you can’t put a price on any of that. Might as well put a halo on this guy. If anyone would like to know my story. Give him a call, he’s be more than happy to tell ya. Love you brother.
