PHILOSOPHY, POLICY, PROCEDURE IN CRIMINAL CASES: CONSTITUTIONAL LAW as applied to Criminal Cases: Not enough is utilized these days of the United States and Oregon Constitutions in the practice of criminal defense. Daily companions of Attorney Raymond Tindell are the United States and Oregon Constitutions, regarding the assertion of client's rights to the presumption of innocence, to making the Government prove every single element of its alleged case beyond a resaonble doubt, required probable cause of the police prior to obtaining a Search Warrant, sufficient warnings of rights required prior to police questioning, the rights to effective assistance of legal counsel, and to Due Process and Equal Protection of the laws, to a Fair Trial, to Reasonable and non-excessive bail; pursuant to US Constitution Amendments 4, 5, 6, 8 , 14, and Oregon Constitution, Article 1, Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20

In any good actual or potential defense of criminal accusations, it is necessary to immediately investigate as soon as possible to assist in getting witness statements and perform other expert analysis such as psychological examinations, accident reconstruction, chemical and potential dna analysis, forensic business records analysis, and other tests performed independently and without the knowledge of the State only revealing this information when the law requires as discovery or in negotiations or in suggesting that the Government Dismiss or reduce the charges yet to be filed or already filed. This office works with investigators, forensics experts, psychologists and other professionals in formulating the best defense and strategy. Also where appropriate, consultation is made with law enforcement on client's behalf so that client may remain silent with these issues. This can sometimes make it possible to resolve, or dismiss cases prior to their even being filed and obtaining evidence prior to the Government obtaining this same material evidence or gaining advantage at both pre-trial Hearings and at Trial. At all stages of the proceedings Attorney Raymond Tindell views the relationship between client and attorney as a working partnership and must involve mutual trust while preserving the sanctity of confidential communications.

Aggressive and Effective Representation
"My allegiance is only to the client and not any 3rd party or government entity"
