Victories in Utah Criminal Defense Cases

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.

Suppression and Dismissal
DUI and Drug Charges

Client pulled over by police for investigation of DUI. Mr. Howard filed a motion to suppress challenging the basis for the warrantless search and seizure. Police had received a report that client might be drunk. By challenging the basis for the report and demonstrating that police observation of client’s driving for nearly two miles showed no traffic violations or other indications of impairment, the prosecutor conceded error and moved to dismiss the DUI.

Abeyance and Dismissal
First-Degree Burglary

First-degree felony burglary charges with gang enhancement were filed based on client’s participation in burglary planned by other individuals. Based on client’s peripheral involvement and evidence his conduct was out of character, prosecutor consented to abeyance agreement at misdemeanor level that would ultimately lead to case dismissal.
