Reasons for Hope - Your Utah Criminal Defense Case
Being
charged
with a
crime affects more than you ever imagined - jail, job, family,
bills, rent or mortgage. It feels
like
everything has
gone wrong, and you are wondering if anything can go right. But
facing criminal charges does not mean giving up hope. When
you hit
rock bottom, you need a hand up. An
experienced Utah
criminal defense lawyer can make all the difference.
Having a criminal charge does not mean that all is lost. Your
life
is not over, and the outcome of your case is not set in
stone. Felony charges do not always result in felony convictions. Misdemeanor charges do not always result in jail time.
There
are many different ways your case can be resolved
- taking the
case to
trial is only one of many possible options. An experienced criminal
lawyer can help you explore the various legal defenses that may be
available in your case, and conduct a thorough case analysis to help
you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case. Taking your
case to
trial may the best option. Or you may be able to get a better result by
negotiating with the prosecutor to reach a resolution.
While your attorney manages your legal case, you can
start
rebuilding your life, even while your case is still pending. Getting a job, starting
treatment
or
counseling, and enrolling in school all are possible, and
can be very beneficial. As you improve your life,
you also
improve your case by giving the
judge
and prosecutors reasons to be lenient.
Having hope means knowing
that your case
has a
chance, your life has a chance, that
you still have
a chance.
