I have been practicing law in Eastern Oregon since 1993.  Prior to beginning my legal carreer, I worked as a police officer with the Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department, I attended the University of Tulsa Law School while working in the department's Special Investigations Unit.  I moved my family from Oklahoma  to Eastern Oregon when I graduated from law school.  My first job was as an assistant district attorney with the Union County DA's Office.  I gained valuable trial experience, trying cases to juries in everything from sexual abuse to attempted aggravated murder.. In 1997 I began working in private practice;  first with Mautz Baum & O'Hanlon, and then as a sole practitioner.  In 2000 Gene Hallman and I formed the partnership of Hallman & Dretke.  Ours firm's practice is exclusively in litigation.  In the past few years I have developed a practice that focuses on nursing home abuse.  I find that taking on the corporations that own nursing homes and too often put profits before people is a rewarding experience.  Our firm has also litigated against some of the most powerful corporations around:  Ford Motor Company, Wal-Mart, and UPRR to name a few.. My wife, Khuelien ("Lien"), is a family nurse practitioner with the Grande Ronde Internal Medicine Clinic in La Grande.  We have been married for 29 years.  Together we have raised two children, Rachael - who is soon to obtain her Masters degree and follow in her mother's footsteps as a nurse practitioner, and Tyler - who will graduate from Oregon State University in Fall 2010 with a degree in geology.. Lien and I both stay physically active.  She runs consistently and has completed full and half-marathons.  I compete in Iron-distance triathlons.  When we are not training or working, we dote on our grandson, Ethan.

I am an in-house attorney for the Office of Legal Counsel for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation where I provide representation to the Board of Trustees, Tribal departments, and various programs with emphasis on law and order issues, government contracts (tribal, federal, state, and local), federal indian law, environmental and federal land law, cultural resource protection, water law, real property, land use, legislative drafting and review (tribal, state, and federal), and litigation. I have also been appointed as a Special Assistant United States Attorney for the United States Attorney Office for the District of Oregon to handle Indian law related matters.

Former Umatilla County Deputy District Attorney, Craig W. Russell, has handled thousands of criminal cases from simple misdemeanor charges to serious felonies. As a prosecutor, Craig swore an oath to uphold the Constitution - an oath he continues to uphold in private practice. Our Constitution was created to protect you, not the government. Craig is committed to holding the government accountable and providing the criminally accused with the passionate and effective representation that they not only deserve, but are constitutionally entitled to.
