DUI Victim Impact Panel in Salt Lake
County
Participation in
a victim impact panel is a common condition of probation in many Utah
DUI or Impaired Driving cases. In Salt Lake County, DUI victim impact
panels are presented through
Salt Lake County Criminal Justice Services. To obtain the most
up-to-date information on programs offered through
Salt Lake County Criminal Justice Services, contact them directly at
801-468-3500.

While
participation in a victim impact panel may be ordered by
the court as a
condition
of probation, you may help your
Utah
DUI case by attending a victim impact panel even before it is
ordered by a judge. While fighting your DUI at
trial
or through a
motion
to suppress may be a good strategy, there are cases that are
better dealt with through a
negotiated
resolution. If you are interested in a negotiated
resolution, participating in a victim impact panel even before court
may convince the prosecutor to extend a better offer in your case.
Defending a DUI case can be complicated. An experienced criminal
defense attorney can help ensure the best possible outcome.
