About


I have been defending people accused of DUI since 1998. I have defended people from all walks of life including clergy, engineers, lawyers, doctors, teenagers, and the average hard working person. I go all over Utah to defend people that need a defense. I have been from North Logan down to Monticello, Utah. I spend over 40 hours per month researching the latest cases, legal treatises, scientific literature, and articles on the subject of drunk driving defense to be on the cutting edge of DUI defense at all times.
