Drug Offenses

The law firm of Ray Bassel has handled dozens of cases involving Oregon drug laws in Washington and Tillamook counties.

If you are arrested for a drug offense such as possession, trafficking, manufacturing or delivery of methamphetamine (crystal meth), heroin, cocaine, marijuana or other illegal drugs, you could be facing a prison sentence. If you are an immigrant, you could also be deported. Having a drug conviction on your record could also affect you when you apply for a job, since many employers now request credit reports, which show criminal convictions.

If you are charged with drug offense, contact our law firm before you talk to anyone else. We will:

• Put a layer of insulation between you and the police so that all contacts will have to go through us.
• Contact the district attorney and obtain all of the information about your case that we are entitled to have.
• Check to see if the arrest and drug seizure were conducted properly.
• Minimize the charges through plea negotiations to charges that do not involve jail time, or through diversion programs for first-time offenders if appropriate.
• Register you in a drug treatment program if appropriate to reduce the possibility of prison time.
• Prepare your case for trail and provide you a vigorous courtroom defense.

Many of our clients are first-time offenders who are scared because they don’t know what the state will do to them. We will make sure you understand what is going to happen each step of the way. We will provide experience when you need it the most.
