Victories in Utah Criminal Defense Cases

Not Guilty Verdict
Aggravated Assault

Client faced felony charges for allegedly using a gun to menace another driver during road rage incident. Defense trial strategy demonstrated that the alleged victim was the likely aggressor and that client had taken reasonable action to defend himself.

Outright Dismissal
Felony Kidnapping

Father was arrested and held on half-million dollar bail for allegedly kidnapping his own child. Defense counsel demonstrated legal impossibility under the circumstances and prosecutor agreed to dismiss outright.

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.
