About Drew S Anderson

Drew Anderson is a skilled criminal defense attorney who represents clients facing serious charges from the firm’s Portland office. His practice centers on protecting the rights of individuals accused of offenses such as DUII and other misdemeanor and felony crimes. Drew is known for his thorough case preparation and his commitment to keeping clients informed, confident, and supported throughout the legal process. Before transitioning to defense work, Drew built a strong foundation as a prosecutor. He served as a Deputy District Attorney in Marion County, where he handled a wide range of cases involving property offenses, drug-related charges, and Measure 11 person crimes. Earlier in his career, he worked as a Deputy District Attorney in Coos County, gaining valuable trial experience in a rural court system that required adaptability and hands-on litigation skills. This prosecutorial background allows Drew to anticipate opposing strategies and develop effective defense plans. Drew earned his undergraduate degree in History and American Studies from the University of Idaho and completed his legal education at Willamette University College of Law. Prior to law school, he gained unique life experience working in Alaska’s fishing industry and later with a nonprofit organization in Southeast Asia, where he supported construction initiatives and taught English. These experiences shaped his strong work ethic and global perspective. Outside of his legal practice, Drew values time with his wife and daughter and enjoys outdoor and recreational activities, including skiing, hunting, fishing, and golf.
