Felony Reduction Archives

Buying a Gun with a Criminal Record in Oregon

The right to bear arms is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. This right is reiterated in the Oregon Constitution as well. In the aftermath of certain criminal offenses, however, these rights may be suspended or revoked. Adults in Oregon who wish to buy firearms are forbidden from doing so if they have been convicted of…

Both the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of Oregon promise citizens the right to bear arms. But like all of the rights in our democracy, there are exceptions designed to protect everyone’s safety and peace. Americans are also entitled to free speech, but it’s still illegal to shout “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater. In…

Navigating Felony Reduction in Oregon: Your Comprehensive Guide Felony reduction is a legal process that can alleviate the burdens associated with a felony record. By reclassifying a felony conviction into a misdemeanor, individuals with most Class C or certain Class B felonies under Oregon law can experience a fresh start, even years after the original…

We think of Rights Restoration as a hierarchy. At the top is expungement or set aside, which makes the conviction disappear. You can’t get better than that. If you cannot expunge or set aside, the next best thing is to turn a felony into a misdemeanor. This is done through a law that allows a…

In our experience, all fines, fees, and restitution must be paid off before people can set aside a conviction. A reduction requires at a minimum to be up to date with a payment plan. The laws do not explicitly discuss money owed, but they do discuss complying with the sentence of the court, which arguably…

Convictions for felony vehicle crimes cannot be set aside, but they can be reduced to misdemeanors. Oregon Revised Statute 161.705 allows a Class C Felony to be reduced to a Class A Misdemeanor. Felony reduction to misdemeanor applies to convictions for criminal as well as vehicle crimes. Once a felony conviction is properly reduced to…

I had an outstanding experience with Jesse and his firm. Their team of experts demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and dedication throughout my case. From the initial consultation to the successful expungement of my record, they provided clear explanations, personalized attention, and prompt communication.What sets Jesse apart is their deep understanding of expungement laws and commitment to staying updated on legal developments. Their tailored approach to my case instilled confidence, and the transparent communication made the process stress-free.The results speak for themselves – my record was successfully expunged, opening up new opportunities for me. I highly recommend Lorhke Law for their exceptional service and genuine care for their clients' well-being. Five stars, without a doubt.

I'm happy as a clam. Mister Lohrke, delivered. He told me my odds were good,having my convictions set aside. He was correct. He provided very good communication throughout the process. This is a nice little reward for having gotten my life on the right track. I wish I had gotten a hold of him a lot sooner.

Jesse and Austin, explained the expungement up front, they said my case was pretty straight forward, it took the time they said it would and kept me informed at every point.They are extremely knowledgeable and have the compassion to make this stressful time in your life so easy, I plead to something I never did and didn't have the time or money to fight it but did my probation with the confidence of a friend's advise that Lohrke Law had also helped him.Should be able to give more than 5 stars, I absolutely recommend them, very thankful for their help.John.

“Working” with Jesse and his team was a breeze. I put working in quotations because they took care of everything for me lol. Super solid work, even went over the top and found some things I didn’t even know were on the record. Seriously, don’t think twice, the team over there at Lohrke Law will take care of you. If you see this, thanks again guys

My dreams have come true, and I am grateful for Jesse and Lindsay for the support and guidance I needed to achieve my goals. The support and help I recieved from their legal team is unparalleled.

I wanted to clear up some things from the past so I called lohrke law and told them what I thought needed clearing up. They told me about things that I didn’t know about and quoted me a price and timeline to get everything taken care of. They let me know ahead of time what to expect, and when to expect it. They were right on the money. Everything went according to plan, and on time. Everything has been taken care of.I highly recommend lohrke law to take care or your needs. If they say they can do it, they will. Robert

I've spent the better part of a year interacting with all the employees at Lohrke Law as my case progressed. I was always treated with empathy, respect and kindness. Phone calls, texts and email were always answered in a timely manner. Jesse Lohrke went above and beyond in answering my many concerns and questions. He is very knowledgeable and able to explain the legal process in a simple yet respectful manner. Jesse, Lindsay, Cherlyn and rest of the staff were simply a joy to work with and I can’t thank them enough for all their support. I’ve no doubt they’re high level of professionalism, knowledge and work ethic are a large part of a successful outcome in my legal case. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

They were able to have my history set aside in less time than they said it would take. Now I have a clean slate and I'm now able to go about my life as if the mistakes I made as an young adult never happened. Now instead of being bound by those mistakes I have a new lease on life and a chance to be a participant in society. Thanks again guy's.

And resolved my legal issue well within the time frame they said they could do it in.Thank you guys so much.Z.A.La Grande, OR

Blake Mason

23:51 03 Apr 23

I started working with Austin at Lohrke Law last year to expunge a felony and attempt to have one reduced as it wasn't expungable. The entire experience was pleasant and they stayed in contact throughout the process letting me know updates as they happened as the county the charges originated from dragged their feet with paperwork (no fault of the firm.) I'm happy to say that I was able to have my rights restored in Oregon and will work with them again in the future when the time has appropriate amount of time has elapsed to get my license reinstated as well.

Extremely impressed with the quality of service at Lohrke Law! Elizabeth saw a path forward for my case that nobody else did. Austin handled the case extremely well and was very communicative along the way. Well worth the reasonable fee and I highly recommend!

Mike Doyle

08:34 29 Dec 22

We were very fortunate that another law firm referred us to Lohrke law. Jesse Lohrke is on your team from start to finish. We couldn't have hoped for a better attorney because we got the best that day. Thank you Mr. Lohrke for being you!

scott kane

21:41 01 Dec 22

Jesse was incredible. I've had consults before on the same court issue with other attorneys but they weren't helpful, nor did I gain any new information from them. Jesse Lourke was the 1st attorney to actually read my evidence, my court statement, and was able to give his honest take on it. He gave great advice to make sure my main points were heard in the short time I was given to defend my position. I ended up winning! Thank you so much for giving me the confidence I needed to face this Jesse. And thank you for volunteering your time, generosity, and expertise to disabled veterans like me. Give Jesse a shot, he'll tell it like it is.

I am delighted to recommend Lohrke Law to anyone looking for assistance with legal issues. I had previously contacted another firm for help and was told that they would charge 5X what Lohrke Law wanted and that anyway, I needed to wait a couple of years to move forward. That was just plain wrong.Jesse and his firm got my issue resolved within 10 months for a very reasonable fee. Good communications, excellent results and great follow through! This firm has been the single best Law firm that I have worked with in my 65 years of life.

04:26 17 Sep 22

Jesse was great to deal with. Very clear communication. Told me what to expect, and gave me a timeline up front. If I had a question, someone was always there to take my call and answer questions. Price point seemed reasonable. Great experience overall! Would recommend!

Shaun Gavin

18:26 18 Aug 22

Jesse took care of an issue that was on my record from over 30 years ago that I didn’t even know existed. His firm’s help was instrumental in dealing with the bureaucracy of our slow moving legal system. The fee was worth every penny. Thanks Jesse!

Donny Thompson Sr

05:04 28 Jul 22

Jesse got it done I can't thank him enough for what he did for me. He shot me straight through the entire process. His team was wonderful. For the first time in 14 years I no longer have a black cloud over my head. It is not a fast process Thanks to local government dragging their feet But as far as lohrke law they are extremely efficient and surprisingly affordable. My biggest regret is not contacting them years ago.

Mike Shirley

18:32 27 Jul 22

Jesse and his team are excellent. They got me my driver's license back, and two assault cases set aside. Very good price as well. I would recommend this firm to ANYONE looking for an experienced law firm. Thanks again to the Lohrke law firm, as you guys gave me my independence back

Glen Hensley

Steve Duncan

19:11 16 Jul 22

I didn't do an expungement, for many years...thinking it was a difficult, lengthy process! Well, I was wrong! In fact...I paid Lohrke law to take care of it for me...and that's exactly what they did! They did everything for me! It was fairly quick(waiting on agencies) is what takes the most time! My record is now clean, with 0 to no trouble whatsoever...In conclusion...they did exactly what they said they'd do...and if I needed to do it again, I'd definitely use them!

James Stone

14:25 23 Jun 22

Liz and all the team there really went the extra mile for me. This has helped so much, as now I can participate with my family in unlimited capacity, to further their futures as a father and husband should do. I am very thankful and greatly appreciate the positive attitude and "can do" spirit. I have had a burden lifted off my shoulders for over 30 years. They are a real blessing in so many ways.I put them on the top of the " I recommend " list.Paul

Dante Alexander

Jesse and Liz are great people and lawyers. I highly recommend hiring them for help expunging or reducing because they are the experts. They do this every day so if you have a complicated case to work on, they would have the answer on what could be done to help restore your civil rights.

Liz at Lohrke Law was incredibly helpful. The team more than met my expectations. Despite all of the difficulties due to covid, they were able to navigate these barriers and deliver the service as they stated they would. I am incredibly grateful. They did what I thought was not possible. I highly recommed Lohrke Law!

Professional upstanding experienced Attorney! Mr. Lohrke exceeded my expectations with his knowledge along with great communication and feedback to any questions I have had. I found Lohrke Law to be more than generous with affordable representation!

Skyler Wilemon

If you are looking for a great and professional lawyer, give him a call and see if he fits your situation.I will definitely be a returning client of his if I need help with any other legal situations.

Travis Graham

23:17 04 Mar 21

GREAT Attorney. He did not buckle under pressure from the state. He protected me and my children when the state had there own ideas about wrecking it. We WON big and he set precedent for other families to follow. Jesse KICKS BUTT against the "societies problems" Lane county Sheriffs Deputy Quote

George Woodward

Gun Rights Restored. 47 felony convictions to say it was an up hill battle would be accurate. Elizabeth took the time to listen to my criminal history and past also about me presently and what my argument would be if we were called in front of a judge for a hearing. We (Elizabeth) came up with a plan set about executing that plan and even through the slow courts we (Elizabeth)prevailed. I cannot thank Elizabeth and her team enough. I only gave her 5 stars because I could not give her more.

Oscar Bravo

00:46 10 Dec 20

Elizabeth Lohrke did a phenomenal job for our family. We will forever be grateful for her. She is a first class lawyer who truly cares about her clients. Keep up the great work you and your husband do!

Frank Bair

22:14 19 Nov 20

Wow. What can I say. Very professional. Helped when no one else would. If you know anyone needing the type of service they offer, stop looking and call. None better.

Brandon Meek

18:29 19 Nov 20

I had a great experience with Elizabeth. She took care of my dilemma for a very reasonable price and was honest with me throughout the process. She even explained to me at the beginning that my issue was something I could easily do on my own, but I however, do not trust the courts to treat anyone who is poor in a reasonable manner without representation. Decent individuals are hard to come by these days and Liz is surely in that rare category of folks. I am grateful to have found her.

Darrell and Andrea Orth

11:38 18 Nov 20

Had a long standing issue that needed to be addressed. Elizabeth gave me a couple of different approaches. She told it would take some time and work. She stayed in contact with me and the results were better than I could ask for. Thank you Lohrke Law for your honest integrity.

I no longer have to register!I called around for several days looking for an attorney that would look at my case. Almost every attorney I spoke to said they couldn't help, or they referred me to a guy named Jesse Lohrke. I finally called Jesse and explained my situation. With confidence he accepted my case and laid out the expectations from day one. He brought his "A" game to the table every time we spoke. This guy knows the law and will FIGHT for his clients. After working with him for a couple months it was time for the hearing. After working with Jesse I was confident and ready to present my case with Jesse to the courts. We did amazing, We won! I was not expecting such a positive outcome. With Jesse's hard work it finally paid off. I no longer have to register as a sex offender (after 20 years of doing so). I also got my charge changed to a Misdemeanor instead of a felony. This has changed my life for the better, and I owe it to Jesse.
