Mike Flinn
for Benton County
Circuit Court Judge 21st Circuit Position 3
Oregon and our nation are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history. I have practiced law for more than 30 years, and I believe that Benton County deserves a judge with experience, integrity, and a balanced perspective. My career has prepared me to ensure that the rule of law is fairly and consistently applied to every person in Benton County.
Bringing a Balanced Perspective to Benton County’s Court
As a 30-year veteran of the legal profession, I have spent my career upholding the law. With over 15 years of practice in the Benton County Circuit Court system, I have handled a wide range of cases as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney in civil, family, and juvenile law.
My experience as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney has given me a perspective on the justice system from multiple sides of the courtroom. That balanced background has shaped my belief that every person deserves to be heard, every case deserves careful consideration, and every decision must be grounded in the law.
Those principles—fairness, integrity, and respect for the community—are what guide my commitment to serving as a judge.
Why Trust in Our Courts Matters
Benton County residents deserve a court system they can rely on, one that treats every person impartially and applies the law consistently. Trust in the courts means knowing that your judge will listen, make fair decisions, and uphold the principles of justice in every case. That is the commitment I bring to our community.
My philosophy as a legal practitioner and as a judge is simple: every person who comes before the court deserves to be heard, treated fairly, and have their rights protected under the law—no matter their income, identity, or where they live in Benton County.
That commitment to fairness and respect guides my approach to every case.
Integrity Means Fairness and Accountability
To me, integrity means consistently upholding fairness, honesty, and the rights of every person who comes before the court. Not just the wealthy. Not just those with the right zip code. Every single person.
As a judge, my goal is to apply these principles in every decision I make and to set the same example for the legal professionals around me. The people of Benton County deserve that promise, and I am committed to keeping it.

As judge, I am committed to upholding the law, safeguarding individual rights, and conducting proceedings with fairness and integrity—because Benton County residents deserve a judge they can trust.
With more than 30 years of practice in our courts and a deep understanding of the law, I will ensure every case is handled with fairness, integrity, and careful consideration.
