Provo Criminal Defense - Effective Strategy

Many
attorneys claim to be "aggressive." But a criminal
defense attorney who only knows how to be aggressive can be like a bull
in a china shop - causing much more harm than good. After
handling literally thousands of serious felony charges, Stephen Howard
understands that many cases require a more sophisticated approach. If
you are facing criminal charges in Provo or another court in Utah
County, you don't
need
an "aggressive" attorney. You need something better - an
effective attorney with a record of achieving real results for his
clients. Achieving the best outcome on a criminal defense
case
requires a variety of skills: effective persuasion, sophisticated legal
research and writing, tough negotiations, and more. Just
fighting
hard isn't enough. You have to know how to
fight hard, and fight smart.
Utah County Drug Crimes Defense
A Utah County drug crimes case can present a number of issues. In
addition to the variety of legal and factual defenses that
often arise in a
Utah drug
crimes
prosecution, there may be the additional issue of addiction or
substance abuse. As an experienced criminal defense attorney
serving Utah County, Stephen Howard understands that the legal case may
be only half the battle.
Stephen Howard has the experience to successfully defend your legal
case. His
record of
results
speaks for itself. But his experience defending drug charges
in
Utah has also taught him that addressing his client's legal needs is
not enough.
For a client who is fighting addiction, the
legal case is only half the battle. People addicted to drugs
or
alcohol often find themselves coming back through the criminal justice
system over and over again, until they effectively address the
addiction or substance abuse issues in your life. Stephen
Howard
has experience working as defense counsel in a
Utah felony drug court
program, and has significant training in how the legal system and the
treatment world can best be combined. It's one thing to take
care
of your legal case. But when his clients are fighting a
criminal
case as well as
drug addiction,
Stephen Howard has the experience to help move toward a more
lasting solution.
