Daniel Olsen
Redmond DUI Attorney
Daniel Olsen is a trial attorney who handles criminal defense for clients in Redmond and across Central Oregon. He takes on cases of every kind, from DUII charges to serious felonies, including Measure 11 offenses. Dan keeps his method simple: he listens to what his clients tell him, works through the evidence carefully, and builds a defense aimed at the best result available, whether that comes from a dismissal, a favorable plea, or a full trial.
Dan has worked in the courtroom for years, representing people charged with everything from minor misdemeanors to major felonies. Before he moved into defense work, he served as a Deputy District Attorney for Marion County in Salem, Oregon, prosecuting property crimes, drug offenses, DUIIs, and Measure 11 person crimes. That time on the other side of the aisle gives him a clear sense of how prosecutors put their cases together. He started out in family law, handling divorce, custody, and child support, and later clerked for a Superior Court Judge in Anchorage, Alaska. He joined the Alaska Bar in 2017 and the Oregon Bar in 2019.
Dan studied Political Science at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington, where he also played college baseball, then earned his law degree at Willamette University College of Law. While there he was Editor-in-Chief of Willamette Law Online, edited the Willamette Journal of International Law and Dispute Resolution, and competed in Moot Court. He belongs to the Marion and Deschutes County Bar Associations and the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (OCDLA).
Away from work, Dan spends his time with his wife and daughter and gets outside to hike, golf, hunt, and fish. He follows the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners closely and likes thinking about where sports and law overlap. Having sat on both sides of the courtroom, with years of trial work behind him, he fights hard for his clients no matter what they are charged with.
