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.

"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.- Russell
