(801) 243-2814By now, everyone has probably heard at least a little bit about the Utah woman who allegedly killed newborn babies shortly after she gave birth to them. This case is one that proves that criminal defense can often be very complicated. The woman’s estranged husband found one of the bodies in a cardboard box as…
When people get involved with drugs, they will sometimes do things that wouldn’t normally be in their nature. A recent conviction of two men in Utah is another example of how drugs can end up being a slippery slope into other activities that have serious consequences. The men were sentenced on charges related to a…
A 34-year-old Utah teacher who is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student has been charged with three first-degree felony rape counts. Her attorney is asking for those charges to be dismissed. The attorney asserts that although she was the boy’s teacher, the state didn’t prove that she had the ability to influence him…
For people facing serious criminal charges, such as allegations of sex crimes, proving innocence can sometimes be difficult. There are times when the court proceedings seem to drag on without any resolution to the charges at hand. For one Utah man, more than five months have elapsed since he was initially charged with crimes he…
The United States is shifting dramatically in its response to illegal drug use and the prosecution of drug crimes. Our post last week focused on the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to make available a prescription drug that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. At the state level, Utah and other states have…
In the last couple months, we have written about legislation being considered by Utah lawmakers that could save lives in the event of a potentially fatal drug overdose. Utah is one of many states considering adopting what are commonly called “Good Samaritan” laws. Currently, when friends are using illegal drugs together and one overdoses, others…
Teenagers tend to be a bit rambunctous by nature. Sometimes, in an effort to impress their peers or fit in with friends, they push boundaries or bend rules. While it may be harmless in some settings, in others, it can land them in serious trouble — and police are not always willing to give them…
One of the most basic and important tenets of our legal system is the idea that every accused individual should be considered innocent until proven guilty. There are many criminal justice policies and practices that stem from this original idea. But Utah legislators are considering a bill that some believe is a violation of that…
The U.S. Supreme Court has long insisted that Americans have the greatest legal expectation of privacy when they are in their homes. Home has been treated like a sacred place in the Court’s history. As a result, the government is rarely allowed access to a citizen’s home without first meeting very specific and tailored requirements….
We live in puzzling times; particularly when it comes to matters of governance, privacy and individual rights. On one hand, Americans have learned in the past year that the National Security Agency has the capacity and the authority to essentially spy on nearly any U.S. citizen or foreign leader. On the other hand, local and…
I am writing this review out of sincere gratitude for the “Red Shoes Living” customer service experience provided to me by Susanne Gustin. I had a very unique case and at the onset, I knew my case would require a person of high character, compassion, and who would exercise a strong work ethic to provide me with the commitment to working my case to my high standards. We live in a society where the large majority have lost faith in our legal system and in receiving quality customer service from a reputable attorney, the kind of service one would expect to receive under duress, whether guilty or innocent. In all honesty, I received compassion, attentiveness, timely responses, excellent communication, fair and concise guidance, and clarity, every step of the way, which resulted in the most favorable outcome for my situation. The feeling of having an attorney who was in the corner with me and could defend me while upholding justice and fairness was unmeasurable. Life and circumstances that may land an individual in a situation that brings into question their character, by their actions, or reaction, even the most honest person with the best of intentions, can be out of someone’s control. Retaining Susanne Gustin, to represent me was the best decision I made, enabling me to bring my life back together relatively quickly, with the least amount of collateral damage, saving my hard-earned career and academic education, ultimately assisting me in moving forward, beyond a set of circumstances that would not define me. Susanne Gustin took a sincere interest in humanizing me and in defending me. I will always be thankful for the high value of service she delivered.

The courtesy and professionalism my family received from Ms. Gustin were extraordinary. She returned our initial texts and phone calls quickly and efficiently. She established an action plan immediately. She contacted us on weekends to effectively see our situation end with positive results. She had our case wrapped up successfully in a matter of weeks. When your family members are falsely accused, Ms. Gustin is the person to have in your corner. Her kindness, care, and compassion are above reproach. Our trust was well-placed and her results were impeccable. Our family will ever be grateful for Susanne’s generosity with her knowledge, talents, and care.

When our granddaughter found herself in a very difficult situation and accused of assault, Susanne was able to get her sentence greatly reduced and she was able to avoid prison. Susanne is very competent and professional and is dedicated to getting the best outcome for her client. From the very beginning she encouraged us that she could help our granddaughter and she did. We were able to reach her and get our questions answered. She is very experienced and has earned the respect of the prosecutors. She is an excellent attorney and we strongly recommend her to help a person get their life back on track.
