When facing criminal charges in Utah, you face the possibility of substantial fines along with potential jail or prison time if you’re convicted. A conviction will also go on your permanent record, potentially preventing you from accomplishing many of your life’s goals.
A criminal defense attorney from the Law Office of Brad R. Anderson can assist you during this frightening time.
We can answer your questions, explain your options and help you make the right decision for yourself and your future. We will fight for you through every stage of the process, to help ensure the best possible outcome in your case.
Why You Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you are convicted of a misdemeanor or felony criminal offense in Utah, you will face substantial monetary fines and the potential for jail or prison time.
In addition to possible fines and incarceration, the judge may compel you to serve probation, perform community service or attend mandatory counseling. A conviction will also earn you a permanent record. Having a criminal record can prevent you from getting a job, renting an apartment, being accepted into college or obtaining a professional license.
And, depending on the charges you face, you may not be eligible to have your record sealed or expunged in the future.
At the Law Office of Brad R. Anderson, we specialize in criminal defense. Some of our areas of specialization include misdemeanor and felony DUI, drug offenses and domestic violence charges.
What Will a Criminal Defense Attorney Do for You?
Facing a criminal charge alone is frightening as well as risky.
The police and prosecutors do not have your best interest in mind and, in fact, they frequently fight for a conviction to hold you up as a public example in the community. When you have a criminal defense lawyer fighting for you, you always have someone on your side.
When you trust us to handle your case, we will be there for you during every step of the process, fighting for your freedom and your future.
We will begin by investigating your case and gathering evidence on your behalf. This is important because the police may overlook important evidence, especially if they believe you aren’t inclined to fight the charges pending against you.
Any errors committed by the police or problems with evidence that we can identify provides us with leverage to negotiate with the prosecutor.
You Need Aggressive Legal Representation to Fight Criminal Charges
Our team will represent you in every aspect of your case. We will always fight hardest to have your charges dismissed or reduced. But, if necessary, we will prepare you case for trial and fight for you in court.
To get a conviction, the prosecution must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. It is our job to build a strong case on your behalf and, in the process, present evidence to introduce reasonable doubt to the judge and jury.
Without a criminal defense lawyer on your side, you are leaving your future freedom to chance. To explore your options, talk to a criminal defense attorney at the Law Office of Brad R. Anderson before talking to the police or agreeing to any deal with the prosecutor.
