We work to gather the relevant evidence, interview witnesses, and prepare your account of what happened so your side of the story is fully heard.
FAQs
Common questions
What makes a charge 'domestic violence' in Utah?
It's generally an offense committed against a household member or partner. That designation can add consequences, including protective orders and firearm restrictions.
Can the charges be dropped if the other person doesn't want to press them?
Not on their own — the state, not the alleged victim, decides whether to proceed. That's why having defense counsel involved early matters.
