Level the Playing Field
Most of the sexual assault and rape cases in Utah have just two people involved — the accuser and the accused. It becomes a case of "he said, she said". Often alcohol and drugs are a factor. Sometimes, as in statutory rape, a minor is involved. Rarely is it a simple, straight-forward case.
A rape defense can be complex and emotional for all parties involved. As a trial lawyer and criminal defense attorney based in Salt Lake City, I have represented many clients charged with sexual assault in Utah. As a 17-year veteran of criminal defense work, I have aggressively defended a large number of clients in difficult cases.

Rape and sexual assault cases give rise to strong emotions in jurors, prosecutors and the general public. Each case is different and every case has two sides. I will fight to have your side of the situation presented in court. I will fully investigate all angles of your case to craft strong arguments and aggressive defenses to the charges you face. I am fully capable of presenting innovative and creative arguments to the prosecution, to the judge and to the jury if necessary.
