If you are seeking an experienced criminal defense lawyer in the Eugene / Springfield area, or anywhere within Oregon, contact the Duvall Law Office to schedule an in-person or telephone appointment. Whether you are seeking a defense lawyer for a Measure 11 offense, a domestic violence charge (like assault, harassment, menacing or strangulation), sex crime, driving under the influence of intoxicants (aka DUII, DUI, DWI or drunk driving), or shoplifting, the Duvall Law Office is ready to counsel you through this difficult situation.
In Oregon, the maximum sentence for a felony or misdemeanor offense is set forth by Oregon statute, but Measure 11 charges almost always carry mandatory minimum prison sentences. They are set forth here:
ORS 137.700
(1) Notwithstanding ORS 161.605 (Maximum prison terms for felonies), when a person is convicted of one of the offenses listed in subsection (2)(a) of this section and the offense was committed on or after April 1, 1995, or of one of the offenses listed in subsection (2)(b) of this section and the offense was committed on or after October 4, 1997, or of the offense described in subsection (2)(c) of this section and the offense was committed on or after January 1, 2008, the court shall impose, and the person shall serve, at least the entire term of imprisonment listed in subsection (2) of this section. The person is not, during the service of the term of imprisonment, eligible for release on post-prison supervision or any form of temporary leave from custody. The person is not eligible for any reduction in, or based on, the minimum sentence for any reason whatsoever under ORS 421.121 (Reduction in term of incarceration) or any other statute. The court may impose a greater sentence if otherwise permitted by law, but may not impose a lower sentence than the sentence specified in subsection (2) of this section.
