Criminal Defense Attorney Lake Oswego
The city of Lake Oswego in the State of Oregon was founded by Albert Alonzo Durham in 1847, an individual who also built the area’s first sawmill on Sucker Creek. Less than two decades later, iron ore was discovered in the Tualatin River Valley and the city quickly became the heart of the brief iron industry.
Today well over 36,000 individuals reside in Lake Oswego. It is known as being one of the Portland area’s more affluent suburbs with the median family income being nearly $95,000.
Affluent areas are often considered safer and less crime-ridden than other parts of a county or state. But that does not mean that the residents living in these areas do not face accusations of suspicious or criminal activity.
