Entering a
plea in abeyance agreement can put you in control and allow
you to determine whether your case will be dismissed. No
matter how strong your case may be, when you go to trial you are
placing your fate in the hands of a jury. But entering a plea
in abeyance can put you back in control. When you enter a
plea in abeyance, the court will require that you comply with certain
conditions. If you follow through with those conditions, the
court is required to dismiss your case.
When you are facing criminal charges you need more than a sales pitch. You need straight talk from an experienced
criminal defense lawyer in Utah
with a record of achieving real results. Stephen Howard has
successfully defended thousands of serious Utah criminal cases ranging
from aggravated murder to DUI, and virtually everything in between. He has obtained not guilty verdicts or dismissals on cases
including aggravated robbery, aggravated assault,

distribution,
