Utah Criminal Defense Wins

Not Guilty Verdict
Self Defense

Client charged with felony aggravated assault for using broken bottle as a weapon. Defense case focused on self-defense, resulting in not guilty verdict by the jury at trial.

Dismissed
Felony Insurance Fraud

Client charged with felony insurance fraud after claiming work-related injury prevented him from returning to work. Insurance investigators obtained video that included client kicking soccer ball in his yard. Government allegations of fraud were rebutted by medical records and prior administrative adjudications. Client’s job required heavy lifting. The claimed injury did not prevent him from kicking a ball but did prevent him from lifting. Prosecutor conceded error and voluntarily dismissed the case.

Abeyance and Dismissal
First-Degree Distribution

Client faced first-degree felony charges for selling drugs to undercover police officer. Mitigating evidence gathered by defense relating to client’s youth, family support, treatment options, and lack of prior history was pivotal in convincing prosecutor to allow an abeyance agreement to a single misdemeanor count. Case was ultimately dismissed.
