Utah Defense Attorney: Domestic Violence Charges
If you have been arrested for domestic violence in Utah, do not make the mistake of taking the charges lightly. What may have started out as nothing more than a simple argument could result in a criminal record that costs you job opportunities, your right to bear arms, your reputation and your freedom.
If you have been arrested for domestic violence, these are a few of the things you may now be thinking:
- The police officer's report totally misconstrued the facts.
- Why was I arrested when my spouse started the fight?
- It was just a simple push. Why is the state going berserk?
- Everything has been exaggerated and taken out of context.
- The "victim" doesn't even want to press charges.
- I'm not a criminal. How can this be happening?
You are not alone. Thousands of people in Utah ask the same questions every year. The state of Utah is zealous about deterring domestic violence.
Protect Your Rights — Contact Criminal Defense Attorney Paul Grant
To protect your rights, you will need an experienced lawyer who will take the time to investigate your case, figure out what really happened and fight for the best possible result on your behalf.
As a former prosecutor, I know what a prosecutor must prove to establish guilt in a domestic violence case. I understand that police reports are not always accurate — statements are made in the heat of an emotional moment, and alleged victims often lie, exaggerate or omit key facts. Moreover, I understand that good people sometimes make mistakes and in those circumstances — more than ever — they need an attorney who cares enough to fight for their rights and stand up to the prosecution.
I have been handling criminal law cases for more than 20 years. I have considerable trial experience and I am a skilled negotiator. I have a strong record of results because I work hard for my clients, handle each case with meticulous care and am always prepared to take a case to trial when necessary to protect a client's rights. Prosecutors in my area know my reputation as a strong client advocate and I believe strongly that my clients benefit from that reputation.
