Criminal Defense Overview

Confidential, Skillful Representation

Being charged with a sex crime can be a volatile time in a person's life. Emotions run the gamut from outrage to shame to confusion to anger. In many instances there is a huge motivation to keep it out of the press so it does not destroy reputations, marriages, job security and professional certifications.

As a criminal defense attorney who has handled many sex crime cases, and many other criminal cases in Utah, I would be happy to discuss your case with you. From my Salt Lake City law office, I have represented a great many people in Utah who were charged with a sex crime and thought there was no hope — until they met me.

Serious Sex Crime Defense

If you want someone who is easy to work with but tough in the courtroom, contact my office. I have handled virtually every type of sex crime imaginable. Confidentiality is assured.

  • Rape — Including date rape, statutory rape and sexual assault
  • Sex abuse — Rape of a minor, sodomy upon a child, aggravated sexual abuse of a minor and incest
  • High-profile sex crimes — Defense of accused polygamist David Kingston; found not guilty on two counts and guilty on two counts
  • Sex solicitation, prostitution — Representing men and women who have been charged
  • Lewdness — Indecent exposure
  • Sex offender registration — What crimes require registration and what are the consequences?
  • Juveniles — representing juveniles charged with sex crimes

Successes: I was able to obtain an acquittal on all four counts for a man charged with aggravated sexual assault of a minor step-daughter; "not guilty" verdicts on two counts of kidnapping young girl and boy, a registrable sex crime; "not guilty" verdict for soccer coach accused of raping one of his players; "not guilty" on two counts of rape of two minor girls; charges dismissed in multiple rape cases; "not guilty" verdicts on client charged with first Internet solicitation case tried in Utah; "not guilty" verdicts on police officer charged with sex solicitation of a prostitute; many dismissals of sex solicitation and prostitution cases; numerous rape and child sex cases charged as first degree felonies negotiated to minor misdemeanor offenses. Perhaps I can help you as well.
