Prominent Utah Drug Crimes Defense Attorney
In Utah courts, there is no such thing as a small drug charge. Even misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana can result in a heavy penalty. If it is your second or third conviction, you face a possible felony conviction and jail time. Prosecutors across the state are under pressure to convict people for any type of drug charge. It doesn't take very much in your pocket to have a misdemeanor possession charge increased to a felony charge of possession with intent to distribute or other related charge.

I am Utah drug crimes defense attorney Susanne Gustin. I have many years of experience fighting aggressively to help people stay out of jail and keep their record clean after being charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and other illegal narcotics. If you are facing charges, you must take your defense seriously. My law firm has earned a reputation for doing everything possible to work with the prosecutor to find an alternative to a conviction. I prepare every case to win in court and I have a successful record of acquittals and dismissed cases I am proud of. Criminal defense is my only practice.
You Get Me, Not an Associate or a Paralegal
I'll stay in close contact with you throughout your case. You won't have to wonder what your attorney is up to today or how your case is progressing. You will get clear, honest answers and information you need to make decisions about the outcome of your case. I promise.
Contact me as soon as possible after you have been charged for any misdemeanor or felony drug offense, including:
- Misdemeanor possession of marijuana
- Drug sales or drug distribution
- Cocaine possession
- Meth lab operations, drug manufacturing and cultivation
- Possession of drug paraphernalia

Am I going to Jail?
I will do everything possible to have your case prosecuted in the Utah drug courts or mental health courts, rather than the criminal court system. The drug court offers the option of drug education or treatment program. Upon successful completion of a 'diversion program', your charges will be dismissed and you will avoid jail.
Juvenile Drug Offenses
If your teenage child has been charged with a drug possession charge, it can pull your entire family into the court system. You may feel responsible and embarrassed but there is no need to feel alone. I understand the difficulties a family faces when entering the juvenile court system. I will represent your entire family with compassion, care and an aggressive concern for your child's future. I promise to communicate clearly, walk you through the process every step of the way and fight aggressively for your best interests.
