felony defense
attorney,
Stephen Howard has successfully defended Utah felony charges ranging
from homicide to white collar crime, and virtually everything in
between. A
felony conviction
can result in prison time and thousands of dollars in fines; but a
felony conviction in Utah can also affect your right to carry or
possess a firearm, your ability to obtain certain professional
licenses, your ability to get financial aid for school, and more.
Defense strategies in Utah felony cases can include exercising your right to a
trial by jury,
filing appropriate motions to suppress, filing a motion to quash a
magistrate's bindover order, negotiated resolutions, and more.
Having an attorney with the experience to understand which of
these strategies is best suited to your case can be critical to
achieving the best possible results in your case. Stephen Howard
has defended thousands of serious felony charges during his career, and
is ready to work with you to develop the right strategy to defend you
against criminal charges.
If
you have been previously convicted of a felony in Utah, Stephen Howard
may be able to help you reduce the level of that prior conviction to a
misdemeanor. A motion for a
402 reduction
in Utah can reduce many felony convictions to the misdemeanor level.
A 402 reduction may also be used in some circumstances to restore
a person's eligibility for expungement.
