I am Leland Baxter-Neal, a Portland-based attorney focused on federal criminal defense in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, primarily through court appointment under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA).

In addition to criminal defense, my legal background includes civil rights and impact litigation and a clerkship at the Oregon Court of Appeals. I graduated cum laude from Lewis & Clark Law School with a certificate in Criminal Law and Procedure. Hablo español.

Court-appointed federal criminal defense in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.

If you or a family member has been appointed a federal public defender or CJA panel attorney, that means the court has assigned a lawyer to the case at no cost to the defendant. If I have been appointed to represent you, I will contact you directly. You or your family members are also welcome to reach out to me using the contact information below.
