Our Approach to Criminal Defense in Oregon City

Oregon City Municipal Court handles traffic offenses and state law misdemeanors committed within city limits. Felony charges and DUII matters route to Clackamas County Circuit Court, where the procedures and stakes differ significantly. We’re familiar with both venues, and in many situations, retaining a criminal defense attorney before charges are formally filed creates an opportunity to engage the prosecution early and potentially shape how a case proceeds.

What to Expect When You Work with Us

A Team That Listens
We take the time to understand your situation fully before developing a defense strategy. We ask the right questions, review the facts, and build an approach tailored to your case.

Results-Driven Defense
Every move we make is oriented toward a defined legal strategy, whether that means fighting your charges at trial, negotiating a charge reduction, or pursuing dismissal where the facts support it.

Direct Attorney Access
You’ll work directly with our attorneys from your first call through resolution. You won’t be handed off to paralegals or a rotating cast of associates. You’ll know who is handling your case and where things stand.

Dual-State & Federal Court Coverage

Attorney Morrisson is licensed in both Oregon and Washington, covering clients throughout the Portland metro area on either side of the state line. We’re also licensed to practice in the Federal Court for the District of Oregon, so we can represent clients facing state-level charges and federal criminal matters alike. For a full list of the communities we serve, visit our areas we serve page.

Why Representation From the Start Matters

Oregon Ballot Measure 11 imposes mandatory minimum sentences for certain violent crimes regardless of a defendant’s background or the specific facts of the case. Once a conviction occurs, judges have no discretion to reduce those sentences. That’s why having a criminal defense attorney from the outset, before the case takes shape against you, can make a real difference in Oregon City.

Attorney Morrisson began her career at Legal Aid and assisted in certifying a Federal Class Action lawsuit against a New York jail and school district for violations of constitutional rights. That foundation shapes how we approach every case: protecting our clients means protecting everyone’s constitutional rights. Morrisson Law LLC is a woman-owned, independently operated firm focused entirely on criminal defense, not a multi-practice firm where criminal defense is one of many departments.
