Wayne Mackeson - Oregon Criminal Defense Attorneys

Wayne Mackeson

Every profession has members who are so respected by their peers that they refer their own clients to them. Wayne Mackeson is that "lawyer's lawyer." He receives frequent referrals to present appeals cases for other attorneys. He is particularly expert at legal research using his analytical and critical-thinking skills to provide you with the best defense possible. You can trust him to discover all the legal precedents appropriate to your defense.

Not all cases are destined for trial. Wayne Mackeson is especially skilled at negotiations aimed to avoid trial. He will bring into play legal arguments and pretrial motions to suppress evidence that other, less-skilled attorneys miss.

Though Mr. Mackeson excels in legal research and writing, he is equally adept at law-in-motion during a trial. He and Mr. Birmingham act as co-counsels in their client's defense.
