Salem DUI Attorney

Salem is the capital of Oregon, and serves as the county seat of Marion County. With a population size of over 154,000, it is the 3rd largest population in the state.

Downtown Salem is one of the most popular areas in the city. The district features a little of everything with shopping, dining, lodging, year-round events, and outdoor activities to enjoy. Downtown Salem is known for being organized in a way that makes things easily accessible, and walking is encouraged. To start, Salem is home to Willamette University, the first university in the west.  The university is located right across the street from the Capitol Building, and prides itself in being amid Salem’s state government, law and business epicenter. There are also three historic properties to visit—the Bush House Museum, Willamette Heritage Center, and the Heritage Center. Downtown specialty stores feature fine art, antiques and apparel; all within a short distance of the Salem Convention Center. The Salem Convention Center offers 14 different room for those who need a venue to host larger events.

If you have been cited or arrested for a DUI (sometimes referred to as a DUII) in Salem, you will need to appear in court for a hearing.
