Sandi L Pellikaan  │ Oregon Attorney at Law 

(503) 705-7543

Ms. Pellikaan has practiced criminal defense law since 1994.  Before opening her own practice in 2004, Ms. Pellikaan worked at Metropolitan Public Defenders for 9 years, first as an intern while in law school, then as a staff attorney.  While at Metropolitan Public Defenders she represented clients in all areas of criminal defense, including measure 11 crimes, property and drug felonies, and misdemeanors, including DUII and other traffic crimes.  She assisted in the formation of the Multnomah County community court program for some misdemeanors and worked with the felony drug STOP court.  As a senior felony attorney, she trained and mentored newer lawyers in the areas of drug and property crime law and trial skills.

A native Texan, Ms. Pellikaan earned her BA in English from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas.  She then worked as a legal assistant in Dallas, Texas for Baron & Budd, PC, a law firm representing people injured from asbestos exposure.  Her work with victims of toxic exposures inspired Ms. Pellikaan to earn her law degree.  In 1992 she moved to Portland, Oregon to attend law school at Lewis and Clark.      

When Ms. Pellikaan opened her law practice she recognized a need in the community for affordable, solid, thoughtful legal representation.  She charges clients a “flat rate” fee rather than billing hourly for her services.  This affords clients the peace of mind in knowing exactly what their costs will be, and they feel comfortable calling her with questions that arise—without the concern that their legal bills will increase.  Ms. Pellikaan personally handles every client’s case; she does not hand off work to less experienced attorneys.  She listens to her clients and works diligently to achieve a result in line with their goals.
