Flat-Fee Representation vs. the Hourly Way
Hiring a lawyer to clear your Oregon record under ORS 137.225 usually means an open-ended hourly bill. We do it differently — one flat fee, and we fight for you from start to finish.
Two ways to hire an attorney
Oregon Expungement Lawyers — one flat fee
You retain a licensed Oregon attorney for a flat $700. We review your record under ORS 137.225, prepare your motion to set aside, e-file it, serve the District Attorney, and keep you updated through the court's decision. If a hearing is required, we fight for you. You know the fee up front.
A traditional hourly attorney
Many firms bill expungements by the hour against a retainer — often $300/hr or more. You get representation, but the total cost is hard to predict, and most lawyers charge $1,000+ for an expungement. Our fee is a flat $700.
