You can protect yourself from a damaging DUI conviction by working with a skilled Utah DUI Criminal Defense Lawyer like Attorney Jeanne Campbell as soon as possible.

Whether you have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor, Jeanne Campbell uses her unique legal insight and litigation experience to level the playing field and maneuver your case into the most favorable position possible.
Winning Your DUI Case
The state of Utah penalizes all types of Alcohol crimes harshly and prosecutors will seek to punish you to the fullest extent of the law. Even first-time offenders are facing very real penalties, ranging from mandatory jail time to excessive legal fines.
However, DUI Defense Attorney Jeanne Campbell has helped hundreds of clients beat the DUI charge, keep their Driver's License, and avoid jail time and hefty fines.
When we file our Notice of Appearance in your case, we also file a Request for Discovery. The prosecutor is required to provide us with all discovery materials, including the body cam footage of the officers involved in your arrest and processing.
By going through this footage with a trained legal eye, we can often find grounds for excluding evidence due to improper police procedures.
In other cases, if it's a first DUI in 10 years, Attorney Campbell can negotiate and get your DUI charge reduced to an "Impaired Driving" charge, which will save you from license suspension, interlock device, and jail time.
