Criminal defense
When you've been charged with a crime in Utah, the government will have an experienced attorney working to move your case toward a conviction. Whether it is to negotiate a favorable plea agreement or to take your case through a jury trial or appeal, we are prepared to be in your corner. We strive to create an unassuming environment where you can tell us your side of the story and we can help you express that to the court if necessary.
When the attorneys at Contigo Law begin working on your case, the first thing we will do is gather evidence. Remember that when the government brings criminal charges against you, they are required to prove that you, in fact, committed the crime. After reviewing the evidence available, we can create a strategy in your case and recommend a course of action for you.

At contigo law, we offer a variety of post-conviction remedies. Depending on the need we can assist you in requesting a reduction of the degree of offense, an expungement, or even sometimes withdrawing the guilty plea and dismissing the case. The direction we choose depends on a variety of factors, but there are options. However, you should know that for certain applications after conviction, there are time limits, so please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your options.
