Utah Criminal Defense - Consequences of Conviction

Even "minor" misdemeanors can carry serious consequences. Misdemeanor charges carry potential sentences ranging from 90 days to a year. Felony charges can carry maximums of 5 years, 15 years, or even life imprisonment depending on the nature of the charge.

Beyond jail and prison time, criminal convictions can affect other areas of your life. Your right to vote, the right to carry a gun, professional licensing, driver's license, jobs, renting an apartment or getting a loan all can be affected by certain criminal convictions.

To give yourself the best chance of avoiding conviction and incarceration, you need an experienced Utah criminal defense attorney. Stephen Howard has helped thousands of clients facing criminal charges. His record of results includes not guilty verdicts or dismissals on cases including aggravated robbery, drug charges, DUI, theft, forgery, white collar crime, and many more.
