Passionate About Protecting Your Rights
At the Law Office of Steven L. Newton, I believe that all cases, no matter how minor or serious the charge, deserve an aggressive defense. I am passionate about protecting your rights and I understand that being charged with a crime does not necessarily mean you are guilty.
You do not have to claim defeat just because you are facing a criminal charge. If police or prosecutors made mistakes or used improper procedures, I will work to get those charges dismissed or fight for an acquittal at trial.
Former Prosecutor on Your Side
With so much at stake, it is important to work with an attorney who has experience on both sides of the aisle. As a former prosecutor, I understand how the other side usually structures and argues criminal cases. By showing the prosecutor that I am prepared to take your case to trial, I can often negotiate with them and reduce or dismiss the charges altogether.
Using an Objective Approach to Criminal Defense
I use a straightforward, objective approach to cases. I provide open avenues of communication. As your criminal defense attorney, knowing all the details — no matter how sensitive — can help me formulate proper defense strategies. By openly discussing any communication you had with the police and your pre-arrest interactions, I can be better equipped to negotiate your charge and prepare for trial.
My approach can also help you feel more confident about your situation. Being charged with a crime, especially DUI, and the idea of going to jail can be a frightening experience. I can help reduce your fear and make you feel better prepared for trial and your eventual outcome.
Aggressive Trial Support
Taking your case to trial sometimes can be the best option. I have handled over 50 jury trials that have gone to verdict. To reach a lawyer who wants to help you fight your drunk driving arrest or other criminal law case, call 801-663-9565 for a free consultation or send me an e-mail. I serve clients in Utah County, Salt Lake County, Cache County and the surrounding areas of Salt Lake City, Utah.
