Diligent DUI Defense
As an experienced Layton DUI defense attorney, I can provide you with diligent representation for any DUI charge including:
- DUI: An experienced criminal defense lawyer can make a significant difference to a client charged with a first DUI offense. Let me put my experience to work for you. I have defended hundreds of clients in DUI cases.
- Second DUI: The criminal and civil penalties for a second DUI are significantly greater than those for a first DUI. A second DUI conviction results in a mandatory minimum jail sentence of 10 days. Judges have the power to substitute community service or house arrest, but often choose to impose the 10 day sentence if they are not strongly persuaded to show leniency. An experienced attorney is essential to protect your rights.
- Felony DUI: A third DUI conviction in 10 years is a third degree felony — punishable by up to five years in prison. Any DUI, even a first DUI, that results in serious bodily injury may also be charged as a felony. I have the experience necessary to defend your rights if you have been charged with felony DUI.
- DUI drugs and metabolite offenses: If you have any remnants of an illegal drug in your system, you could be convicted of a DUI metabolite offense — even if you took the drug several days prior to driving.
- DUI and prescription drugs: Many people do not realize that they can be arrested for DUI for taking drugs prescribed to them. I have the experience and knowledge to mount a vigorous defense in these cases.
- DUI and probation violations: Many people violate the terms of their of their DUI probation because they suffer from the disease of addiction. I can work with you to develop a treatment plan to show the court that you are serious about getting your life back on track and you deserve another chance.
- DUI and drug allegations involving Child and Family Services: Numerous factors may bring child and family services into the picture if you have been charged with DUI. I can help you defend against actions to remove your children from your home.
- Underage DUI: Utah has extremely strict laws designed to prevent incidents of underage drinking and driving. For a first DUI conviction, a driver under 21 could face a driver's license suspension of 120 days or until the age of 21 — whichever is longer. Contact my law office if you or your child has been charged with an underage DUI.
- Driver's license suspension hearings: A Utah driver convicted of a first time DUI may have his or her driver's license suspended for 120 days. I represent clients at DUI driver's license suspension hearings. My license suspension services are free if you retain me within 10 days of being charged.
- DUI-related offenses: I handle all DUI-related offenses, including ignition interlock violations, driving with a suspended license, and alcohol restricted offenses.

Do not rely on insurance companies to offer you a full and fair settlement following an auto accident.
