We help clean up Criminal Records

We help good people with past convictions create new opportunities by cleaning up criminal records, setting aside old convictions, restoring firearm rights, and petitioning for relief from registration.

Our pricing is geared to make Rights Restoration accessible. During a free consultation with Lohrke Law attorneys we will determine price and eligibility.

The failed war on drugs left a lot of felony records in its wake. Many law-abiding citizens have criminal records that affect them later in life. Rights Restoration is the flip side of the criminal justice system. It allows people to get their rights back. It changes lives immediately.

New housing and job opportunities open up. Volunteering at your child’s school becomes possible. Your rights are restored.

The Three Most Common Ways to Restore Rights and Pass a Background Check are:

  • Set Aside (Expungement)

    Setting aside a conviction erases it from your record. Set aside is available for most felonies and misdemeanors. Arrests that did not result in a conviction can also usually be set aside.

    Marijuana convictions get special treatment under Oregon Senate Bill 420 and require no court fees or background check.

  • Felony Reduction to Misdemeanor

    Most class C felonies can be converted to misdemeanor convictions, resulting in non-felon status.

  • Firearm Rights Restoration

    An Oregon judge can restore a person's Oregon firearm rights when they prove they are not a danger to themselves or others.

Lohrke Law is a small law firm with a big reach. We help rights restoration clients all over Oregon. Because of our statewide practice, we are able to offer a premium service for a competitive price. We work hard to be efficient and keep our costs down.

We are experienced at digging into court archives to find old records. With thorough research we save clients money by avoiding needless legal work or missing important information that affects cases.

There is no cost for an initial consultation. During a phone consultation with an attorney we are usually able to determine eligibility and cost.

Best lawyer a man could ask for.

Jesse Lohrke is the best lawyer a man could ask for. He got my sentence reduced on several occasions and minimized the amount of money I had to pay. He genuinely cares about his clients and always has their best interest in mind. He shows up ready to go and is the man you want to go to bat for you.

Cleaning up my criminal record and getting back my gun rights.

I came to Jesse because I was trying to get a better job and I was concerned that I would be discriminated against because of my criminal record. He quickly researched the relevant facts and informed me. He then introduced me to an exciting specialty of his: reducing felony charges to misdemeanors, restoring gun rights, and expunging criminal records entirely. He has done some amazing work for me over the last few months and it has been surprisingly affordable. I am super excited about my future now. Anyone with a criminal record should be talking to Jesse about fixing it.

Above and Beyond

I was arrested on 12/3/12 on some serious criminal charges. I was assigned a court appointed attorney that wasn’t interested or capable of defending me. I was going to spend the next two years of my life in prison! I called Jesse and he intervened on my behalf. He traveled 300 miles round trip to represent me on court appearances. He sent people to search the archives in Multnomah County to disprove my past criminal history. He wasn’t afraid to question police procedures. He offered positive suggestions on things I could do to help myself, which I was more than happy to do. The fact is that he worked harder for me than any lawyer I’ve ever known.

As a result of Jesse’s hard work, on February 14, 2013, I was given three years probation instead of two years in prison. And, thanks to Jesse’s suggestions on how I could prove myself a changed person, I’m on reduced supervision at this time and scheduled to be off paper next June.

I honestly owe my life to Jesse Lohrke!

A tireless attorney who earned my highest recommendation.

Mr. Lohrke did a fantastic job of representing me. His initial recommendations to me were fair and suitable to my situation. When I explained to him my specific needs and the extenuating circumstances he went to bat for me tirelessly. It took a while and he never slowed down or suggested to me that I needed to compromise. I give Mr. Lohrke my highest recommendation and I believe you are in very good hands if he is representing you.

Jesse Lohrke: Holistic Attorney

Until Jesse represented me, I had no idea there was (or even could be) such thing as a holistic attorney! (disclaimer: my description of him, not sure how he feels about it:) ) Throughout my case, which came at an already very difficult time in my life, Jesse was not only highly professional and knowledgeable but personally respectful and caring. He explained everything completely (several times in fact!); presented me with all possible options; answered my questions to satisfaction and researched those he was not certain about. He answered my calls personally or returned them promptly. I came to trust him immensely throughout this time. In fact, I credit Jesse Lohrke greatly with the successful outcome of my case as well as my personal life situation during that time. He is not only a great lawyer – he is a wonderful person!

Peace of Mind!

I am grateful for finding Jesse Lohrke. I live out of state and my college sophomore son was charged with a crime. He received a false ID/underage drinking citation. Mr. Lohrke listened and calmed me down. He then took care of everything and communicated directly with my son. He formed a strategy and was able to negotiate a fair outcome. My son did not have to fly back and forth to Oregon in order to resolve the matter. I would highly recommend Jesse Lohrke. His fees were quite reasonable and I felt he was honest and forthright.
