DUII Defense and Felony DUII Defense Attorney

If you have been charged with a DUI, you are facing one of the most serious events of your life. Most people charged with this offense have never been involved with the court system before. They are scared and confused. I have over thirty years’ experience in the courtroom working as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. Much of that time, my practice has been devoted exclusively to DUI representation. I know how to maneuver through the administrative and legal systems to minimize the impact to your life and your license.

As a former prosecutor, I attended the DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course with the police. My experience as a prosecutor provides me with unique insight when assessing the government’s case against you.

No two cases are alike; there will be strengths and weaknesses in each one. It is important to review all the evidence together so you can decide which course of action is right for you.

Unlike many law firms, I handle all my own cases. I will not assign your case to another DUII attorney. My goal is to provide the personal attention my clients deserve. I make sure all your questions are answered. The police and prosecutor are working against you. You need someone who is on your side fighting for you.

DUI & Felony DUI Attorney

** Licensed in Oregon and Washington **

Almost 1 year ago I received a DUI II with a CDL license. It was my first offense in 46 years of driving. The issuing officer, secretary of DA's office, and DMV told me I could plead guilty and go through diversion. After 30 days I lost my license and job and my life was turned upside down. No diversion for a CDL. I called 2 attorneys. The first scolded me for waiting too long. Then I called Jill who spent the time on the phone explaining the law and my rights to me. We met shortly after and I hired her as my attorney. After review I had a weak case and I chose to plead guilty. My fine was the minimum and I was able to move on with my life. Thanks Jill for your extra effort.

For personal reasons I was looking for a female attorney in Portland to fight my DUI arrest. Ms. Petty was responsive, professional and far exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Jill really cares and it shows in the results. My case was ultimately dismissed and Jill was the catalyst for this result. I would recommend giving her a call if you are stressed out about a legal matter. I invested in her and it paid off.

Jill Petty was quite professional and competent regarding my case, based on an over-eager arrest and charge for DUI. She selected the best approach for dismissal before arraignment, which worked: central to it was to offer witness statements to rebut the field sobriety test. She did not urge me to plead guilty and go for diversion, as the first lawyer I contacted said i should do (and for more money). She was reasonable in her cost to deal with the case, and I am very pleased with the outcome. She understood that I was quite upset with the position I was in before dismissal, as pleading guilty would have made it more difficult to run my business and would have cost me lost time and money. She also counseled me not to attempt a civil wrongful arrest suit to recover lost business profit, moving violation ticket fee, impound fee, and etc.; it turned out that the ticket related to the stop was waived as well. I highly recommend her.
