Turn to a Salt Lake County Defense Lawyer You Can Trust
As a defendant, you are in a difficult position. The police department and prosecuting agency have superior resources and have been building a case against you for months. Without a knowledgeable lawyer, defendants are almost guaranteed to be taken advantage of. The prosecutor will be aggressive and make it difficult to receive a good deal. If negotiations are unproductive, our Salt Lake County criminal defense lawyers are equipped to take any matter to trial in order to seek a positive outcome.
Individuals being prosecuted face penalties ranging from small fines or community service to lengthy prison terms or even the death penalty. The severity of the allegations and the defendant’s criminal history are two of the most important factors the prosecutor and judge use to evaluate possible sentences.
If the allegations and your criminal history are minor, the chances are high that we can quickly negotiate a fair deal for you. However, defendants with a criminal record or who face serious allegations need to carefully examine all angles of the case and consider the most effective defense.
