Meth Defense Lawyers Representing People Across Oregon
Oregon lawmakers are taking action to cut down on the use, distribution and production of methamphetamines. For instance, it is now illegal in Oregon to purchase pseudoephedrine, one of the ingredients in meth, without a prescription. The penalties associated with methamphetamines are severe as well. In Oregon, possessing, delivering or manufacturing meth is a felony. Every felony charge brings severe, lasting consequences. If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime related to meth, you need a tenacious lawyer on your side who will challenge every part of the government's case.
Raivio, Kohlmetz & Steen, P.C., defends individuals against methamphetamine and other drug charges. Our law firm is located in Portland and defends people across the state. Methamphetamine charges in Oregon can be broken down into three different categories:
- Unlawful manufacture
- Unlawful delivery
- Unlawful possession
Each of these charges brings the possibility of enhanced penalties if you manufacture, deliver or possess methamphetamines within 1,000 feet of a school. Manufacture and delivery of large amounts of meth can carry a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 34 to 130 months. Delivery of meth to a minor carries a mandatory 34 to 72 months in prison. These charges are at the state level. If your meth charges were brought by the federal government, we can defend you against those charges as well.
Our attorneys will attack every part of the state's case. Many drug cases are the product of unconstitutional searches and seizures. We will closely examine how the police gathered evidence against you. If we can show that law enforcement agents violated your rights, we will ask the court to suppress the evidence and dismiss your charges. Our lawyers know what is at stake and will fight to achieve the best possible result in your case, whether it is a dismissal of some or all the charges, an acquittal at trial or a plea agreement that minimizes some of your penalties.
