Kaino Law Group

Kaino Law Group is a team of seasoned criminal defense attorneys serving Clatsop County on the Oregon Coast. Kris Kaino has practiced law since 1990, with a long focus on criminal defense, and the firm brings extensive local court insight to every case. The team handles all criminal matters including DUII, misdemeanors, and felonies, and offers services such as expungements, felony charge reductions, driver license restoration, and registry relief to help clients move forward.

As a coastal Oregon practice, the firm emphasizes rigorous, client focused representation. The attorneys combine public defender experience with private practice perspectives and maintain active involvement in the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, reflecting a commitment to professional standards and ongoing education.

In 2024 Kris Kaino expanded the practice by welcoming Sadie Busch and Jeffrey Ryding, strengthening the roster with diverse backgrounds and a shared commitment to accessible, transparent service. Busch relocated to Oregon in 2024 after leading statewide public defender training in Montana, and Ryding joined in 2024 after practicing in Oregon and Washington, enhancing the firm capacity to handle a broad range of criminal matters on the coast.
