Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense services cover a wide range of charges, including misdemeanors and felonies, with a focus on protecting clients' rights and minimizing consequences. We leverage decades of experience and former prosecutorial insight to build tailored defense strategies. Clients benefit from our proven track record in negotiating reduced charges and favorable court outcomes.
DUI Defense
Specializing in DUI/DWI cases, we challenge evidence, procedural errors, and breathalyzer accuracy to protect driving privileges and reduce penalties. Our team navigates Utah's strict .05 BAC laws and handles implied consent violations. Clients receive personalized strategies to avoid license suspension and secure alternative sentencing options.
Domestic Violence
We defend clients against domestic violence charges, addressing both physical and verbal allegations while mitigating long-term impacts on employment and relationships. Our approach includes negotiating alternative sentencing, such as counseling programs, and expungement for prior convictions. Compassionate representation ensures clients' voices are heard in emotionally charged cases.
Federal Crimes
Our federal crime defense handles complex cases involving drug trafficking, internet crimes, and weapons violations in state and military courts. Former prosecutorial experience informs our strategies against resource-heavy federal cases. We focus on minimizing prison sentences, fines, and lifelong criminal records through aggressive litigation and appeals.
Bankruptcy
We guide clients through Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy filings to resolve overwhelming debt and achieve financial fresh starts. Our team emphasizes transparency in explaining options and minimizing asset loss. Compassionate support addresses the emotional stress of financial crises while ensuring compliance with Utah bankruptcy laws.
