The Challenge

Being charged with a sex crime in Utah is very serious. A person convicted of a sex crime can be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life and could face the possibility of going to prison. A person charged with a sex crime can also be held in jail without bail until their trial, which could take years. Even if the case is dismissed, the arrest can appear on your record which may make it difficult to get a job.

Legal Strategy

We worked to quickly gather all of the evidence in the case, including evidence that the police missed. We work with private investigators and expert witnesses to get to the truth and protect our client.

Case Results

In this case, we were able to interview witnesses that the police did not. After speaking with witnesses, we presented the prosecutor’s office with the whole story, which proved our client was innocent. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

The Best Outcomes

Domestic Violence Aggravated Assault with a Firearm

We worked tirelessly to prove that the alleged victim had the motivation to lie to the police about our client. Through a detailed investigation, we proved that the alleged victim had committed a criminal offense, not our client.

Assault, Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child

Convince the prosecutor that given the evidence and their witness’s availability and credibility, the State would not prevail at trial. In this case, we had to aggressively pursue our client’s speedy trial rights and fight against the prosecutor’s attempts to delay the trial.

DUI

We worked diligently to get the charge of driving under the influence reduced to impaired driving. As a result, our client did not spend any time in jail and kept their driver’s license.
