A conviction has the potential to change your life forever. With the stakes so high, you cannot afford to put your future in the hands of an attorney that you don't trust.

A criminal offense is a situation that cannot be ignored. Thankfully, you can face this often-intimidating situation with the confidence of a skilled attorney on your side. At the scene of your arrest, you have the right to refrain from speaking so that you do not unintentionally incriminate yourself.

We know that you are experiencing a lot of stress and fear- and why not minimize this? Secondly, many attorneys at our firm are former prosecutors. Why does this matter? When you have been on the other side, you are better prepared and more familiar with the arguments that a prosecutor is going to bring up. Because we are better able to predict the evidence a prosecutor will deem valuable and the points he/she will make, we can better craft a strong defense.

This bill expands the definition of a controlled substance to include a list of synthetic equivalent cannabinoid substances and their analogs and homologs found in products commonly referred to as "spice"; expands the definition of a controlled substance to include substances and their analogs and homologs found in products referred to as "bath salts;" clarifies that the tetrahydrocannabinols in Schedule I of the Utah Controlled Substances Act include those both naturally and synthetically derived.
