Portland Homicide Defense Lawyer
If you are charged with homicide, your case requires the professional diligence and personal attention of an experienced murder defense attorney who has won murder defense cases, and brings the added advantage of previous prosecution background. Based in Portland, Oregon, the law office of Kathleen E. Bergland handles murder defense cases throughout Eastern Oregon.
Due Diligence in the Discovery Phase of Your Defense Case
As our firm's founding defense lawyer, I bring valuable perspectives to murder defense cases with my ability to poke holes in the prosecution's case. If there is evidence in your favor, I will bring it to light in court.
People who face felony homicide charges deserve to have a murder defense lawyer who will protect their rights and who has the resolve to stand up for them in court. I stand tall for clients charged with homicide, shaken baby syndrome (SBS), aggravated murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. I counsel clients in capital punishment cases, self-defense cases, and I represent defendants with children in dependency cases.
Measure 11
I have experience in helping clients get their felony charges reduced to the point where they are not subject to Measure 11 mandatory sentencing. While every good lawyer's goal is the dismissal of charges or an acquittal, I also help clients by working toward a minimum or reduced sentence, including death penalty cases.
I spend whatever time it takes with my clients to help them understand their case, the possible consequences, and our criminal defense strategy. I work with my clients until they are as prepared for their day in court as I am.
I am always available to my clients in their time of legal need. Fight your homicide charges with my more than 30 years of criminal law experience on your side. Contact the law firm of Kathleen E. Bergland to discuss your murder defense case.
Free consultations and evening and weekend appointments are available.
