Do You Need a Columbia City DUI Attorney?

A DUI charge is a serious allegation, so this is not a time you want to take chances. DUI convictions have consequences that spill outside the courtroom, including jail time, fines, career issues, travel restrictions, and more. You want an experienced professional representing your interests throughout this process, so that you can avoid the most damaging consequences. You and your family deserve to not let one incident define who you are for the rest of your life. If you’ve been arrested in Columbia County, finding yourself a qualified Columbia City DUI attorney should be your primary concern.

There are plenty of defense lawyers in Oregon, but only a handful of them belong to a top-notch DUI defense team. At Reynolds Defense Firm, our attorneys have over a century of combined experience helping good people with DUI and related charges. We get called to train other attorneys on Oregon DUI defense. When you are choosing a DUI lawyer, pick a specialist that has years of experience within the Columbia County court system.

FAQ About DUI Arrests in Columbia County:

A common question we get is “Can I get a DUI for prescription medication?” Yes, you definitely can. It is important to remember that a doctor’s prescription does not necessarily make it legal to drive while taking that medication. Plenty of prescribed medicines can impair your ability to drive at an optimal level, and Oregon’s laws consider this driving under the influence. In addition, some medications are considered controlled substances if you do not have a prescription, including pain killers and some anti-anxiety drugs. For more detailed information, visit our DUI FAQ page, and read our blog on the topic.

About Columbia City:

For most folks facing a DUI charge, release conditions forbid intoxicant use. This can be a challenge if your social circles revolve around alcohol or other substances. As a way to support our clients through this sometimes-difficult transition, we like to offer some local activities that offer sober fun and enrichment.

Visit Sauvie Island

Savie Island is the largest island on the Columbia River, originally named Wapato by indigenous tribes. Now it is a bustling farming community that also happens to have some great outdoors activities, including hiking, wildlife viewing, fishing, and enjoying some great beaches. Several of the farms have public attractions, such as seasonal berry picking and corn mazes. Take a peek at the Sauvie Island Community Association website for updates and fresh ideas. Parking passes are required and can be purchased on the island or online at this link.

Float or Fish on the River

Fishing is a huge draw to the Columbia County area, with over a million salmon and steelhead entering the Columbia River every year, and sturgeons are common as well. There are popular fishing spots along the Columbia, the Multnomah Channel, and several local lakes. Take a peek here for tips.

If heading out for a float is more your type of fun, there are plenty of opportunities for you as well. Here’s a guide to the best spots, and here are some locals that would be happy to rent you gear for your adventure.
