We defend people charged with money laundering.
- Greg Smith and Steven Russell, Criminal Law Attorneys, is a sought-after DUI defense law firm navigating defendants through Utah's DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs) laws, some of the toughest in the nation. First offense and repeat offense DUI charges are of great concern to many professionals — such as doctors, lawyer and nurses — run the risk of losing their licenses with a DUI conviction, including for charges involving prescription drugs or metabolite (presence of drug residue in the system even of a sober person). Utah's laws are among the strictest anywhere.
- We aggressively challenge DUI charges based on field sobriety tests and breath tests, closely examining the police report, the arrest record and the maintenance and calibration logs for the Breathalyzer the police used. We stand on the side of our clients' rights when implied consent laws are cited by prosecutors.
Driving Offenses, DUI, and Other Drug and Alcohol Crimes
- We assist clients seeking restoration of driving privileges at DLD (Department of Licensing Division) hearing to be requested 10 days from the date of a DUI arrest, as well as clients who allegedly failed to use interlock devices as required.
- We represent Utah residents charged with driving without privileges (usually with suspended licenses) or reckless driving, including excess speeding. Some of our clients, adults as well as juveniles, have been accused of eluding or evading a police officer or fleeing the scene of an accident.
- Minor in possession — consumption charges often accompany underage DUI charges. Greg Smith and Steven Russell, Criminal Law Attorneys, is a valuable resource for juveniles or adults in Utah accused of drug possession involving large amounts of a controlled substance (such as marijuana or meth or cocaine) and charges of intent to distribute, which may result in a long prison term.
