Understand Oregon’s domestic violence laws and how they can impact your case. Get legal support from the experienced team at The Law Office of Mike Arnold.

In the state of Oregon, domestic violence laws are a complex mesh of rules and regulations found under various sections of the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS). Our aim at The Law Office of Mike Arnold is to help you navigate these laws and understand your legal position.

Oregon’s Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA)

Under Oregon law, domestic violence is primarily governed by ORS 107.705 to 107.720, known as the Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA). These laws protect individuals from abuse by family or household members. FAPA defines abuse as attempting to cause bodily injury, intentionally causing bodily injury, placing another person in fear of imminent bodily injury, or causing another person to engage in sexual relations by force or threat of force.

Protective Orders in Oregon

A significant component of domestic violence law in Oregon revolves around protective orders, often referred to as restraining orders. These legal orders are designed to protect victims of abuse and can significantly impact both the alleged victim and the accused. There are specific criteria and legal processes to follow when obtaining or responding to
a protective order, which we can help you understand and navigate.

In the early hours of the morning, law professors wonder whether anything we do makes the world a better place. Today, I feel pretty sure that the answer is yes. That’s because, on January 28, I awoke to a televised image of Ammon Bundy’s lawyer, Mike Arnold of Eugene, Oregon, reading a statement urging the other Malheur protesters to stand down. Arnold is a former student of mine. I couldn’t be prouder.

Mike Arnold is an aggressive attorney that doesn’t mess around. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for helping me. I don’t think I have ever been so scared or felt so helpless and I’m thankful I know you guys.

I am not a resident of Oregon and was put in the awkward position of finding a competent attorney for my son who had just been charged with a very serious felony while attending a university here. My wife and I interviewed a number...[read more]

Mike is amazing said resident Susan Hungerford. She said that several jurors told Arnold after her son’s [manslaughter] trial that they would call him if they ever got into legal trouble. ‘They were all over him, congratulating him,’” Hungerford said

“My son was represented by Mike Arnold and his team. They are nothing short of incredible and almost like family. They left no stone unturned and worked relentlessly on his case. My son is now a free man and able to move forward with his life. Thank you all for everything you have done. You are the best!

I was impressed watching Mike Arnold in his element during a suppression hearing. He is a very confident and knowledgeable attorney in the courtroom, but he also has a realness about him that I really appreciate. Thank you all for everything you are doing to try to help me in this matter.

I heard the firm was the ‘best’ I agree. They are by far the best firm in all of Oregon. Mike Arnold and his team kept me positive in a bad situation. They believed in me 110% all into it. They came to visit at the jail as much as possible sharing insights on my case. It was never one day I didn’t know what was going on.
