Oregon's recent decision to legalize marijuana for recreational use has drastically changed how we approach the legal cases regarding that substance. I am very interested in how this change might affect post-conviction hearings, as well as current criminal proceedings. There are certainly many changes on the horizon in that area of criminal defense.

With nearly 35 years dedicated to law, Mr. Geiger brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his area of specialization, criminal law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Geiger said:

"I have always been inspired by the notion of fighting for the little guy and taking up causes that might seem difficult to understand or defend. In my mind, being a lawyer has always been the best way to stand up for those who are most vulnerable or misunderstood — and that was my dream and ambition."

Over the course of his career, Mr. Geiger has helped hundreds of clients in communities throughout Oregon in a broad range of criminal cases, including those involving assault, business fraud, domestic violence, murder, theft, and DUI. He is also skilled in representing clients during post-conviction hearings, appeals, and expungement motions.

This compassionate approach to his work has led to numerous positive results for his clients in prominent cases, including having successfully navigated a post-trial conviction hearing that led to an overturned sentence. After serving nearly ten years on a wrongful conviction, Mr. Geiger was able to return his client’s freedom and reputation. Important cases such as this have been career-defining moments for Mr. Geiger, and have granted him with a reputation for success and justice in criminal defense matters.

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Geiger is always keenly aware of new trends and changes in criminal law. Currently, he is keeping an eye on drug-related legislation, especially regarding marijuana and recent changes to the laws governing that substance. He notes:

"Oregon’s recent decision to legalize marijuana for recreational use has drastically changed how we approach the legal cases regarding that substance. I am very interested in how this change might affect post-conviction hearings, as well as current criminal proceedings. There are certainly many changes on the horizon in that area of criminal defense."
