Family Law

Divorce
Our Beaverton family law attorneys bring compassion and experience to help our clients with divorce and family law issues.
Child Support
Traditional marriage is not the only way to obtain the benefits of being married. Many unmarried couples (both heterosexual and same-sex couples) can achieve a domestic partnership under Oregon law, either through a “common law” domestic partnership or a “Declaration of Domestic Partnership.”To better understand your options in domestic partnerships and related divorce issues, make sure to work with an experienced Beaverton domestic partnership lawyer. At Helzer & Cromar LLP, we work with individuals and families of all backgrounds in a wide range of issues, including child custody, child support, property division, and other issues related to marriage and divorce.
Child Custody and Visitation
If this has happened to you and you live in Multnomah, Clackamas, Columbia or Washington County — our firm can provide the legal help you need to enforce the existing order. Our lawyers are experienced with contempt cases involving property allocation, child custody, support, visitation and parenting plan orders, and will act swiftly to take enforcement action against your former spouse or opposing parent.
Premarital Agreement
If properly drafted and agreed to under the right circumstances — prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are an excellent way to protect your assets and prevent disputes in the event that “things” don’t work out as planned.
Spousal Support
The court will work to divide any property according to the intent of the couple in a domestic partnership. If the intent was to share the property, then the court will attempt to facilitate equitable division. If that was not the intent, then other arrangements will need to be made. In either case, spousal support or alimony is not typically part of any domestic partnership property division considerations.
Legal Separation
Meet the residency requirements – One party in the divorce has to have lived in Oregon for at least six months before (s)he can legally file the divorce petition. For those who don’t meet the residency requirements, it may be possible to file for legal separation and then convert that into a divorce proceeding once the residency requirement has been met.
Annulment
Annulment, voiding or invalidating the marriage – In Oregon, grounds for annulment include (but may not be limited to) coercion or fraud used to compel the marriage, or for religious purposes.
Child Abuse
In November 1994, Oregon voters passed “Measure 11” which places a mandatory minimum sentence for offenses in which there is a clear victim, such as murder, rape, sexual assault, child abuse, kidnapping, arson, and others. It does not apply to drug crimes, property crimes or other victimless crimes.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
Due to the serious nature of these crimes and the inevitable punishment if convicted, it is important that a person seek the counsel of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
DUI/DWI
Oregon has a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under the age of 21 who are caught driving drunk. Any amount of alcohol in the system can lead to a DUI/DUII. At Helzer & Cromar, we are experienced in representing clients of all ages in
Traffic Violations
Sex Crimes
Sex crimes are some of the most damaging criminal accusations against you. The public assumes your guilt even if you are never charged, and if you are charged, prosecutors tend to seek the maximum penalties. Your reputation, freedom, and life as you know it may be ruined forever.
Robbery
Burglary
Theft
Misdemeanors
A felony is defined as “a crime, typically one involving violence, regarded as more serious than a misdemeanor, and usually punishable by imprisonment for more than one year or by death”. Examples of felonies may be...
Drug Crimes
Any type of drug offense has the potential to negatively impact every area of your life. Certain drug offenses, however, can be even more serious. If you have been arrested and charged with a drug crime, under certain circumstances, you may also be charged with a Commercial Drug Offense (CDO). If you face CDO charges, you are at risk to receive most severe penalties. The Beaverton law firm of Helzer & Cromar is prepared to mount a strong defense against any and all
Assault
The term “assault” can bring a number of images to a person’s mind. The fact is any type of intentional or reckless conduct that injures another person can be charged as an assault. In certain circumstances, assault can be charged as a Measure 11 crime, which will bring on severe mandatory minimum penalties. A conviction to assault in the first degree will lead to a minimum of 90 months (seven and a half years) in prison. A second degree assault conviction will lead to a minimum of 70 months (five years and 10 months) in prison. If you have been charged with any type of assault, you need a defense lawyer who will challenge the state’s case at every turn.
Murder
Probation Violation
Probation violation hearings are vastly different than criminal trials. For example, in a probation violation hearing, you do not have the right to a jury of your peers. In addition, you do not have the right to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Instead, the state only has to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that you violated the terms of your probation. This is much lower standard of proof.
Homicide
Arson
Restraining Order
It is important to contact a lawyer as soon after your arrest as possible. We will represent you at your restraining order hearing as well as against the criminal charges.
Kidnapping
We understand that a sex crimes defense will be different from a kidnapping defense, and that even for similar crimes our clients have unique needs. We will sit down with our clients to understand their situation and choose an option that works best for them.
