#1 attorney in Portland to help with traffic related citations. Fast, honest, and fair - everything you would want in legal assistance. Mr Oberdorfer has helped me with two wrongful citation cases.

Back when I was in college, Volvo automobiles had a reputation for quality and safety that was unmatched. They were reliable, over-engineered, they handled well and if you ever found yourself in a tricky or dangerous driving situation or condition, you had an extra degree of security if you were in a Volvo. These days, Mercedes has a similar reputation for being an excellent and safe vehicle; but Volvos have the advantage that they give you quality…for a much more affordable price. The automotive metaphor holds true for the legal profession as well I think: if you find yourself in a tricky or dangerous legal situation, you are lucky if you have an intelligent and experienced lawyer on your side. Rich Oberdorfer is that kind of lawyer and advocate: a consummately intelligent man who knows the law inside an out, and even better, who understands the complexities and nuances of Oregon’s daunting legal system. Recently, my son, a responsible young man, found himself facing DUII charges after being arrested by an overly aggressive law officer, in spite of the fact that a subsequent breathalyzer test established that his blood alcohol level was well under the proscribed limits. But because of the complexity of our legal system, he nonetheless found himself in a difficult position. We were lucky enough to secure Rich’s services to represent him. Rich doesn’t pull punches – he gave us a thorough and thoughtful explanation and analysis and then recommended a course of action which ultimately proved successful. It was a stressful and trying time for us and our family, but Richard’s clarity, articulateness, and quick and thoughtful actions ensured a good outcome. I have no hesitations whatsoever in recommending Rich Oberdorfer’s professional services – especially if the situation or case involves a potetnial DUII charges. He’s someone we relied on and he delivered beyond our best expectations.
