Serving Lincoln County
Serious cases on the Oregon coast.
Highway 18 runs from our McMinnville office straight to the coast (Lincoln City in about an hour, Newport beyond it) and we take serious criminal and injury cases in Lincoln County. When the stakes are high on the coast, you are not limited to the lawyers who happen to be nearby.

How we practice in Lincoln County
Our Lincoln County work centers on serious matters: major felonies, Ballot Measure 11 charges, homicide cases, and significant injury and wrongful-death claims. These are the cases where preparation and trial experience move outcomes, and where it is worth bringing counsel over from the valley.
Cases are heard at the Lincoln County Circuit Court in Newport. We handle the appearances, and we structure the representation so coastal clients are not driving to McMinnville for every conversation: phone and scheduled meetings carry most of the work between court dates.
The coast's traffic tells its own story: Highway 101 and Highway 18 carry heavy tourist and log-truck traffic year-round, and serious collisions follow. Those are the injury cases we come to the coast for.

Common questions
Lincoln County FAQs.
Will you actually come to Newport for my case?
Yes, for the cases we take on the coast, we appear at the Lincoln County Circuit Court in Newport personally. Our Lincoln County practice focuses on serious criminal charges and significant injury claims, where experienced trial counsel is worth the drive.
I'm facing a Measure 11 charge in Lincoln County. What should I do first?
Call a defense lawyer before you talk to anyone else. Measure 11 offenses under ORS 137.700 carry mandatory minimum prison sentences of 70 to 100 months with no early release, and the early decisions in the case matter enormously. The consultation is free and confidential.
Do you handle crash cases on Highway 101 or Highway 18?
Yes. The serious collisions those two highways produce are exactly the Lincoln County injury cases we take, and we take them on contingency: we are paid only if you recover.
