Criminal Trial Lawyers. Defense Attorneys. Medford, Jackson County and Oregon

If you want to plead guilty, save your money for your court fines. We will give you the papers you need to plead. (It's a free service.)

You may have decided already to plead guilty. If you do, the court will order you to pay fines.

Or, you may have decided to enter diversion. Diversion is a government-administered behavior modification program. If you enter diversion, the court will order you to pay money to the court and to other government agencies and private treatment providers.

Either way, you're probably looking for ways to conserve your money.

Don't pay a lawyer to represent you in court if you have already decided to plead guilty or enter diversion. We believe there is generally no benefit to hiring a criminal defense attorney if all you want to do is plead guilty to a crime at your first appearance in court.

If you are pleading guilty or entering diversion, call us or send an email. We will be happy to give you the paperwork you will need when you go to court. There is no fee for this service.

Begin with the basics:

● We will tell you what an attorney can and cannot do for you if you have been arrested on a criminal charge involving driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Oregon, Jackson County or Medford.

● We won't try to scare you into hiring us. We don't do that. We do the opposite. We want to give you the knowledge you need to make important decisions about your DUI or any other criminal charge. We want you to be able to make these decisions with confidence.

● If you want to handle your criminal or DUI case on your own, we can give you the paperwork you will need to give to a judge to enter your plea or enter diversion.

● If you provide us with your police reports, we can evaluate your case.

● We can tell you about DMV driver license suspensions and hardship permits.

● If you want a second opinion from an attorney about your DUI or criminal case, we can do that, too.

● If you have questions about your options, we can call the district attorney’s office for you. We can help you understand any plea deal they may offer you.

If you go to court alone:

When your name is called, tell the judge you are going to see us to review your case.

Go to the district attorney's office. Order your police reports. When you get them, see us.

Forget every bad thing you have heard about lawyers when you talk about Peter Carini! Mr. Carini is truly one-of-a-kind. He will help you solve your problem, no matter what it may be. His fee is totally reasonable and money very well spent. Seriously, do everything you can to get him. He is really motivated to help you and he will not take advantage of you. He is worth every penny!

Thank you Mr. Carini. First and foremost. I appreciate the straigtfowardness and honesty. This is a life changing situation I am facing and hope that it may be resolved in my favor. Hence the reason for giving you a call, as your rave reviews, duration of experience, and impressive education/trainning truly seperates you from other Oregon Attorneys I have researched so far. ... Please recognise my compliments to your office person, Amanda. When she answered my call, she was very polite, professional, and courteous to advise you were in a meeting at the time, but you would call me back at your first opportunity. First impressions are very important and it was a good first impression of the Carini/Francis Law Firm." 1/2012 Curry County DUI and DMV Defense.

I was in serious trouble and in need of a professional. Bill Francis WAS that professional. A true gentleman with a profound knowledge of DUII law. I had multiple counts against me and was contemplating a long stretch of jail time, a public defender or some low budget attorney would have never given me the results that Bill did. He kept me calm, informed, and never hesitated to answer any questions or settle any doubts that I might have had. I will, by some sort of miracle and much to my surprise, get my license back, serve the extreme minimum amount of time at home and walk away from all of this feeling like I could have chosen no better attorney for my money. I have sincere gratitude for Bill Francis and his unfailing efforts in fighting for my rights and his knowledge of DUII law. I am forever in his debt.

Driven, committed and incredibly capable. I needed help. I called almost every attorney in the book and most told me to bend over and take it. Those that didn't said 'you can pay us to help you bend over and take it'. The system tried to steamroll me but Carini-Francis wouldn't have it. The "justice" system even tried to deny me a right to a hearing and Mr. Francis fought tooth and nail for me. Not only did he overturn their bogus ruling but he had the case dismissed and I got my license back. I saved 4-5 times the money in consequences than what I spent on Mr. Francis' representation because of his knowledge and unwaivering commitment to my cause. I couldn't recommend Carini-Francis more highly. They were everything I had hoped for and more. Their fees were some of the best money I've ever spent. Thanks again for everything, Mr. Francis!

You will see a "10-day warning" on DUI websites everywhere in Oregon. Read this. It's important:

If your driver's license has been suspended, you have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing.

The DMV license suspension process is separate from the criminal charge of DUI that is filed in circuit court. The DMV will suspend your license if you refused or failed a blood, breath or urine test. If the police gave you a notice that your driver's license will be suspended, the DMV will schedule a hearing on the proposed suspension only if you request a hearing within 10 days from the date of your arrest. We can file your DMV hearing request form for you at no charge.

Do not confuse the DMV hearing with your court date. You will still be required to appear in court personally on the date entered on your citation.

If you have a CDL, more severe laws will apply.

If you have a professional license, you may have to report your arrest, diversion or conviction for DUI to your licensing board. Certain employers also may require information about a DUI arrest.
