Bautista & Campbell Utah Criminal Defense Lawyers
Why choose Jeanne Campbell as your attorney? Defending yourself against a criminal prosecution can be difficult and confusing, even in a minor misdemeanor case. In more complex felony cases, the task can be absolutely overwhelming. And the consequences can be devastating.

Criminal Defense Strategy
Successfully fighting criminal charges in Utah requires more than just tough talk. It requires an attorney with real experience, skill, and knowledge. Our Firm is one of the only a few criminal defense attorneys in private practice qualified for appointment to defend capital homicide (death penalty) cases. They are seasoned trial attornies who apply their skills defending felony and misdemeanor charges.
Collateral Consequences
In addition to jail, prison, and fines, a criminal conviction in Utah can also carry a variety of collateral consequences. Legal consequences that are sometimes directly tied to a criminal conviction can include a suspension of driving privileges, loss of the right to carry a firearm or weapon, or loss of professional licensing. Other consequences, such as losing a job or being evicted from an apartment, may not be legally mandated, but still commonly occur following a criminal conviction.

The following links provide information relevant to defending against criminal prosecution in the State of Utah. Note, however, that online resources cannot replace the advice and assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Consequences of Conviction
A criminal conviction in Utah can result in a substantial jail or prison sentence, as well as thousands of dollars in fines. Even a conviction for the lowest level misdemeanor (class C) carries a potential jail sentence of 90 days and more than a thousand dollars in fines (including surcharge). More serious charges obviously carry the potential for much more serious consequences.
