FAQ about DUI arrests in Durham Oregon:

One frequent question we hear is, “What happens if I refused the breath test?” In Oregon, the Implied Consent law says that by driving on Oregon roads, you’ve already agreed to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test if requested by law enforcement. If you refuse or fail one of these tests, the DMV will initiate a license suspension process. The length of suspension varies depending on several factors, but refusing the test will lead to a longer suspension than failing. Luckily, there is a way to contest this suspension through the DMV hearing process, and Reynolds Defense Firm is uniquely qualified to help you avoid suspension if at all possible. For more details on how to request a DMV hearing, go here.

If you’ve been arrested for a DUI in Durham or elsewhere in the area, you most likely you have a court date scheduled in the Washington County Court in Hillsboro. The main courthouse is located at 145 NE 2nd Ave in Hillsboro.

Please note that arraignments for most DUI cases are held nearby in the Law Enforcement Center (aka LEC), at 150 NE First Ave. Please note that it is your responsibility to appear at the correct location at the scheduled time, so make sure to confirm the details with your legal team.

About Durham, Oregon:

Since many of our clients were arrested during a period when their relationship with alcohol wasn’t ideal, we believe it’s important to highlight alcohol-free events and activities to help comply with release conditions and otherwise transition to a healthier lifestyle. Here are some things to consider in the Durham area:

Float down the Tualatin River

Peppered throughout the Durham area are some wonderful recreation opportunities. Cook Family Park is a great spot to start your aquatic adventure on the Tualatin River – a particularly calm and peaceful waterway, just perfect for a kayak or paddleboarding session. Cook Park River Rentals offers rentals of whatever gear you need for an invigorating day on the water. If you prefer peddling over paddling, check out the Fanno Creek Trail using Cook Family Park as your base.

Spend some time at Bridgeport Village

For many years, Washington Square was the biggest shopping attraction in the state, and it is still worth a visit if you enjoy a retro mall experience. However, in recent years, Bridgeport Village has become the #1 upscale shopping destination in the Willamette Valley. This outdoor mall is similar to a European town center filled with everything branded America has to offer, from fancy fashion labels to build-your-own-pizza chains to top-notch movie theatre. If you’ve got the budget, you can entertain a family for hours, and it is doubtful that anyone will leave hungry.
