Defense Against Theft and Property Damage Charges
Property crimes typically fall into two categories: theft of property and damage to property.
If you are facing criminal charges in a Utah state court for a property crime or a federal charge for destruction of government property, you need a criminal defense attorney with experience and dedication.
Do not talk to friends or family members about what happened, even if the damage to property was accidental. Statements that you make to friends or family members (other than spouses) may be used against you in court if they are called to testify against you. Contact a Utah property crimes lawyer at the law office of Greg Smith and Associates.
We protect the rights of adults and juveniles accused of these and other property crimes in Salt Lake City, Provo, Orem, Park City and surrounding communities in Utah.

The sooner you get a lawyer involved in your case, the sooner we can get to work negotiating a more favorable outcome. We may be able to get charges dropped or reduced, or to negotiate an alternative sentence without jail time. If the person being charged is under 18, we do whatever we can to keep him or her at home while finding the resources the child needs to get back on track.
