About

I have worked as a criminal defense lawyer since passing the Oregon State Bar in 2011. The majority of my cases are privately retained, however, I have also worked as a court-appointed attorney in Multnomah County. After working as an associate at a private law firm I opened my own practice, where I serve clients in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties. My criminal defense practice has included defending a huge variety of felony and misdemenor cases, although I have developed a real specialty in DUI defense and have a reputation in town as a tough DUI defense attorney. I have represented individuals charged with harrassment, assault, forgery, felony possession of a controlled substance, criminal mischief and reckless driving. I have succesfully brought motions to supress evidence that resulted in the dismissal of criminal charges. My office is in downtown Portland and we handle both civil and criminal matters. On the civil side, my practice consists of divorce, family law and child custody. I have worked as a family law attorney since becoming a lawyer and have extensive experience in all three counties. I am a trial-tested and agressive lawyer in court when you need it, but I can also negotiate an equitable settlement at a low cost to you. I've lived in Oregon for 8 years and love being an Oregonian. I moved here in 2008 and received my law degree from Lewis and Clark. Instead of returning to Illinois, my wife and I got married and we decided to stay in Oregon. For fun, we take our dog hiking near hood river or for a run on the beach at the Oregon Coast.

If I could give 10 stars I would.... Divorce is a difficult time in people’s lives. Having an attorney that is compassionate to what you are going through is key. Having gone through a very difficult divorce and child custody battle with my ex, I am so thankful that I had Henry LeSuer on my side. Not only did he work hard for me but he was very sincere, truthful and even keel during this trying time. He was always honest about whether or not what I was asking for was a good idea and if we could actually get it. Having Henry represent me was one of the best decisions I made. His compassion through out this whole process helped me stay focused. He fights hard for your rights and demonstrates great knowledge of how the law works and knows what your rights are. Not only is he a great lawyer but I feel that I came out of this with a friend. C. Daniels

Unfortunately I got a DUI last year in Portland and I have interviewed several layers and I came across Henry. On the first meeting it self I hired him. He is very honest and helped me to get my DL re initiated after 6 months without needing ignition interlock device. I always get stressed being a non immigrant and read something in the internet and email him. He responded all my emails for the last one year explaining me the consequences and correct me if my understanding is not correct. I strongly recommenced him being a best attorney to work with. He takes care of the client very well and understand the situation and does help you to overcome with his expertise.

Henry LeSueur was professional and easy to work with. Henry clearly explained all my options even honestly suggesting I didn't really need to hire him if I wanted to represent myself. However, using his service was a fantastic decision. Henry was able to attend court and DMV hearings for me, expediting the DUI process. Henry is also an expert in the arcane Oregon DUI process and had valuable advice on choosing diversion programs. Hiring him was well worth his reasonable fee for the time and stress he saved me.

Best thing I liked about Henry was his attention to detail and he was always keeping me informed as to the case and really swung for the fences for me.

Henry was the consummate professional and everything I hoped for in an attorney. He was very patient, understanding and worked with me through my difficult time. A lessor attorney would have left me out to dry but Henry’s integrity and dedication to his craft enabled me to not only get through the process …. we came out about as close to ‘best case scenario’ as I could have hoped for.

I can't recommend Mr. LeSueur enough. He provided me with all the answers I needed and really fought for me in courts. I would not have won my DMV hearing with out him.

Henry was extremely professional, responsive, and sensitive to my needs during my criminal case. He was always available or would return my communications timely and his fees were very reasonable. I would recommend The LeSueur Law Firm to anyone who is in need of a lawyer's expertise.

I was arrested for DUII and had no idea what was expected of me or how to navigate the court system. Henry took 90% of the anxiety out of the process. I had no hope of fighting the charge, really. But Henry laid out all my options in clear detail and helped me choose a path forward. The rationality and perspective he brought to the table helped me regain some feeling of control.

Having Henry LeSueur as an attorney diminished the stress and added effort that accompanies divorce. I was blessed to have hired Mr. LeSueur at this stressful time in my life. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend him to anyone in any situation.
