Davis
County Criminal Defense Lawyer - Drug Crimes / DUI / DWI
As an experienced criminal defense attorney serving Davis County,
Stephen Howard understands that there is often more to a criminal case
than just the legal issues. Drug and alcohol abuse play a
significant
role in many criminal
defense cases. Mr. Howard served previously as defense
counsel for
a felony drug court program, a position that gave him significant
training and experience in
the
relationship between substance abuse and the legal system. Drug
possession, paraphernalia, and
DUI
/ DWI charges all
have an
obvious
connection to alcohol and drugs. But many "non-drug" charges
have their roots in the client's addiction or substance abuse issues.
If drugs
are a part of your life, you need a lawyer who understands
more than
just the legal system. Mr. Howard's training and experience
can help
guide you toward a more lasting solution.
