Utah DUI Defense Law Firm

Driving While Intoxicated Attorneys

Salt Lake City’s Premier Legal Representation 

Some people would be surprised to know that police officers in Salt Lake City specialize in arresting people for DUI. There are, and they can regularly go from the initial contact to the arrest in less than 20 minutes. This type of fast DUI arrest may be a violation of your constitutional rights.

Three Things About Utah DUI Charges You Need to Know:

  1. Within ten days, request a hearing from the Driver’s License Division (we will do this for you as part of our initial consultation)
  2. Appear for your hearing (if either you or someone on your behalf does not appear, you will lose your license)
  3. Appear in court when you receive the summons – failure to appear in court will likely result in a warrant for failure to appear is issued (you don’t need more legal troubles
 

You should remember that your driving privilege is at stake. A first DUI conviction in Utah will result in the loss of your driver’s license. A second DUI conviction in Utah will result in a loss of your driver’s license for a longer time. By statute, a third and/or subsequent DUI conviction is charged as felonies. An experienced DUI defense attorney can help you get a better deal than the prosecutor offers. We can also advise you if you are being offered a decent deal – but we can only do this if you call.

Chris returned my call and even after hearing that charges were not going to be filed against me he stayed on the phone with me for 30 minutes and listened to my side of the story. Another firm had already charged me $285 for this service and wanted another $2,500 to do a “pre-filing” representation. Chris said he would have told me that it didn’t find the need for a pre-filing and even even he did he would only charged $500 NOT $2,500. I don’t expect to ever need a criminal defense attorney but if I do, Chris at Utah Criminal Defense Attorney will be my ONE call.👍🤘🇺🇸

I called these guys because I was worried that my friend would go to jail for some pretty serious allegations. They talked me through what it looked like the options were, and ultimately I had my friend call In and talk with one of their attorneys. These guys were able to talk to my friend and the prosecutors and work with the police to work out a very fair resolution that made me thankful that I made the initial call. Thank you Chris and Your entire criminal defense team, you guys are the best in the state!
