Criminal Defense
When it comes to criminal cases, there are usually four major criminal defense strategies that criminal attorneys employ: innocence, constitutional violations, self-defense, and insanity. Each of these strategies has its uses in different cases, and selecting the best strategy for a case depends on the case itself, but also on the experience and the prowess of the criminal lawyer.
Our attorneys have represented clients in cases ranging from minor misdemeanors to 1st degree felonies. If you are charged with a crime, you need an experienced attorney to help you resolve this issue. Click here for more information.

Immigration
Immigration law is a series of complex laws, regulations, and court rulings that seem to change constantly. There are generally three main types of immigration in the U.S.: family-based immigration, employment-based immigration and humanitarian immigration. For those who wish to immigrate to the United States, they will have to deal with immigration law changes until they receive their citizenship, which can take years. An immigration attorney can handle this difficult work for you and explain the law and the process to you. They can also represent you in court and help you prepare for interviews with immigration officials.

Family Law
Family law covers family cases, a type of civil case, but they generally involve issues between or concerning spouses, parents, and children. Family courts handle a wide variety of cases involving domestic matters. The most common issues handled at family court include: marriage dissolution, paternity and child custody, protection orders against domestic violence, name changes, guardianship, termination of parental rights and adoptions and emancipation and approval of underage marriages.

Practice Area FAQs
How can a criminal lawyer help an individual who has been arrested?
A criminal defense attorney can play a significant role in protecting the constitutional rights of an individual who is facing criminal charges. The defense lawyers from our firm have extensive knowledge and experience navigating through the Utah criminal justice system and can provide valuable guidance throughout the entire legal process. Your attorney will thoroughly examine the evidence, construct a strong defense strategy, and advocate for you during negotiations and court proceedings. Our firm’s primary goal is to ensure that your constitutional rights are protected and will work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome based on the circumstances of your case. This may involve a reduction of charges, plea bargain negotiations, or securing an acquittal.
What types of personal injury cases does your firm handle?
There are a number of different types of personal injury cases that our legal team has successfully negotiated and litigated. Some of the most common include vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, defective products, and wrongful death. Our personal injury lawyers have built solid reputations as skilled negotiators in an effort to get clients the financial compensation they deserve for the losses their injuries have caused them to suffer, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, permanent disability, and more. However, we will not hesitate to pursue litigation in a trial should the insurance company fail to negotiate in good faith.
What are the two most common types of personal bankruptcy?
The two most common types of personal bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 bankruptcy, commonly referred to as “liquidation bankruptcy,” involves selling non-exempt assets in order to pay off debts. Once that has been completed, any unsecured debts the individual has are “forgiven,” or charged off. This enables the individual to start again financially with a clean slate.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often referred to as “reorganization bankruptcy” because it involves creating a repayment plan (that must be approved by the court) that gives the individual three to five years to pay off their debts. This allows them to keep their home, vehicle, and other assets while they are catching up on payments.
What are some of the issues that may need to be addressed in a divorce?
When a couple makes the decision to end their marriage, there are a number of potential issues that may need to be addressed in order to ensure a fair and comprehensive dissolution. Some of these issues include the division of assets and property, determining whether or not spousal support will be awarded, and how marital debt will be divided. If the couple has children, the court will need to decide what type of child custody and parenting time should be awarded, as well as how much – if any – child support one parent should pay the other.
What is the probate process in estate law?
The probate process is the legal procedure that occurs when an individual dies in order to settle any debts they had and then distribute any remaining assets. The procedure typically involves legally validating the decedent’s will, appointing the executor named in the will to oversee the estate by identifying and cataloging all of the decedent’s assets, paying off their debts and taxes, and then distributing the remaining assets to heirs and beneficiaries as stipulated in the will. If there is no will, then the estate will be distributed according to the intestate laws of Utah. A probate lawyer can assist with this process.
