The Felony Offenses We Defend Against

Our team represents clients charged with felony offenses like:

Oregon Felony Classifications & Penalties

Oregon classifies most felonies as Class A, Class B, or Class C, with unclassified offenses addressed separately by individual statutes. Under ORS 161.605 and ORS 161.625, each class carries general maximum prison terms and fines:

Oregon felony classification maximums:

Class A felony: Up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $375,000
Class B felony: Up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $250,000
Class C felony: Up to 5 years in prison and fines up to $125,000

These classification-level maximums are not a prediction of what sentence any individual faces. The specific charged statute, sentencing guidelines, criminal history, facts alleged, and other legal provisions all affect actual exposure. Our attorneys can explain how the law applies to the specific charges in your case.

Oregon Measure 11 & Enhanced Sentencing

Oregon Measure 11, implemented through ORS 137.700 and related provisions, establishes mandatory minimum prison terms for specified offenses. These minimums apply regardless of a defendant’s history or the particular circumstances of the alleged conduct. Not every violent or sex-crime felony triggers a Measure 11 sentence; whether it applies depends on the charged offense and the facts alleged in the charging instrument.

Mandatory minimum sentencing issues require careful evaluation alongside available defenses, constitutional questions, and the procedural posture of the case. At Morrisson Law LLC, we handle Oregon Measure 11 offenses and other high-stakes felony matters. Attorney Morrisson’s public-defense background includes violent-crime and sexual-assault charges, and we represent clients in Oregon state cases, Washington state cases, and federal criminal matters in the District of Oregon.

How We Defend Felony Cases from Investigation through Trial

A felony case can move through investigation, arrest, charging, arraignment, pretrial litigation, negotiations, and trial before it reaches any resolution. We can become involved at any point along that path, including before charges are filed.

Here’s what our team can do on your behalf:

Intervene early: If you’re under investigation but haven’t been charged, we can communicate with police and prosecutors for you and protect your rights before the process moves further.
Investigate the facts: We review evidence, examine search and seizure issues, assess witness information, challenge admissibility, and look for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Build your defense: Our team develops strategies with defined legal goals tailored to the specific charge, jurisdiction, and your objectives.
Stand with you at every stage: From arraignment through trial or resolution, you can have direct access to our attorneys.

Felony charges arising in Oregon City are typically filed in Clackamas County Circuit Court. Attorney Morrisson is licensed in both Oregon and Washington and serves Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Yamhill, Columbia, Clark, and Cowlitz Counties.

We also practice in the Federal Court for the District of Oregon. Venue, court procedures, and available options can differ depending on where the alleged conduct occurred and how the case is charged. We can explain what those differences mean for your situation.
