What Are the Types of Drug Crimes in Oregon?
Drug crimes is an overarching term that encompasses offenses involving a lot of different controlled substances and situations. Our drug crime defense attorney has the insight and knowledge to stand up to them all. We work closely with our clients and a team of experts to understand the full extent of your circumstances and explore any available options. With personalized legal counsel, we improve the chances of a positive case outcome.
Drug crimes in Oregon are broken down into three main types:
- Distribution – Transferring a substance from one person to another or having the intent to deliver to another; an example includes the arrest of someone that has a controlled substance on them, as well as multiple cell phones
- Manufacture – Directly or indirectly producing, preparing, converting, or otherwise processing a controlled substance; someone that has marijuana growing on their property may face these charges
- Possession – Having actual control over the substance or having the right to exercise control over it; driving someone who has a controlled substance in their backpack in your vehicle could be enough for a possession charge
As shown above, there are many instances in which police evidence does not fully and accurately illustrate the situation. In other cases, illegal or unconstitutional search methods are used to procure evidence against you. Work with a skilled attorney to uphold your rights under the law.

Robert Cleland is the best of all of them.- R. L.
-
I received a felony DUI during a relapse after 10 years of recovery. When I got sober, I was staying with a friend whose life was severely effected because of having a felony on his record. He kindly offered to pay part of the legal fee to see Rob Cleland and that was the best thing that could have happened!
Rob worked tirelessly to get me diversion even though it wasn't an option due to missed court dates. Then, instead of judging me, he helped me to renew my diversion when I wasn't able to complete it the first time due to relapses. All throughout the process, Rob showed endless compassion and understanding at a time that I needed it the most. I am so grateful to my friend and to rob for their amazing help.
I have recommended friends to Rob Cleland and will continue to do so.- Satia
