Measure 11 Defense Attorney in Portland
Defending Against Measure 11 Crimes in Oregon
In 1994, Oregon established an initiative to require mandatory minimum sentencing for those convicted of certain crimes without the possibility of reduced sentencing or early release, even for good behavior. Known as Measure 11, this law went even further by requiring that juveniles over the age of 15 be tried as an adult for these crimes.
At the Law Office of Robert R. Cleland, we know that being brought in front of a judge should not define a person, and our Portland Measure 11 defense lawyer is committed to zealous advocacy for clients accused of these crimes. Since these are some of the most serious offenses to come before a court, no fight to defend your rights is too aggressive.

"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 -
