Your Salt Lake City Attorney For DUI Defense, Drug Crimes And Other Concerns
Everyone deserves strong legal representation — whatever the allegations and circumstances — and that is exactly what I provide. In my extremely active criminal defense practice, I offer aggressive, results-focused defense against charges such as:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) at either the misdemeanor or felony level, as well as other alcohol-related offenses and traffic charges
- Drug crimes ranging from possession or sale of marijuana to prescription fraud and charges of intent to deliver or trafficking in cocaine, methamphetamine, Oxycodone or other controlled substances
- Domestic violence charges, which carry far more severe and far-reaching penalties than many people realize
- Assault and weapons crimes, including battery, illegal gun possession by a felon and more
- Theft charges ranging from shoplifting of merchandise of any value to burglary, robbery, possession of stolen property or auto theft
- Sex crimes, whether allegations stem from alleged sexual contact with a minor, rape or Internet offenses such as possession of child pornography
- Probation and parole violations
- Types of Misdemeanors include certain drug charges, domestic violence, DUI, DUI causing bodily injury, and stalking. Usually punishable by fine and up to a year in jail, misdemeanors are categorized Class A through Class C, with Class A misdemeanors like negligent homicide, and theft, the most serious offenses.
- Punishable by fine and over a year in prison, types of Felonies include sexual assault, child abuse, and drug possession with intent to distribute. Divided into four categories, the most serious form of felony is aggravated murder, which is a capital offense and punishable by death. Capital offenses are followed by first degree felonies like murder and rape. Lesser but still serious, second and third degree felonies include white collar crimes, forgery, and robbery.

Some Salt Lake City criminal defense lawyers and law firms provide very limited personal attention and look to plead cases out as quickly as possible. While I understand that you may want to resolve your challenge efficiently, my pledge is to investigate thoroughly, consider every potential angle and try your case if that is what it demands.
