Criminal Defense for Harassment, Assault and Stalking Charges
At our Portland, Oregon, law firm, you will find an attorney with more than a quarter century of criminal defense experience. Mark C. Cogan has successfully represented clients who have been charged with sexual harassment at work, assault or domestic violence at home or stalking of an acquaintance.
Harassment and assault cases can take many forms, from telephonic harassment to a bar fight involving alleged victims. Often these types of cases can be settled by Civil Compromise, an out-of-court procedure which offers the framework for a win-win result for all parties.
A Representative Case: Client MM faced a charge of assault and other offenses due to an encounter with an overly aggressive volunteer for the Sheriff's Office. Our investigation established that the volunteer failed to comply with his training and regulations and that the police investigation was flawed. We were able to get the case reduced from a major felony to a low-level misdemeanor offense, with no jail time and no probation. After a waiting period, the conviction can even be removed from MM's record.
