Defending Your Rights & Protecting Your Freedom Handling Cases in Salt Lake City and Beyond

Salt Lake City Lawyers

In Utah, a DUI charge can be filed when your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.05% or higher. It’s a low threshold when compared to other states, yet the penalties for conviction can be severe. They range from hefty fines and license suspensions to mandatory alcohol education classes and even jail time. The consequences will likely have an impact on both your personal and professional life. 

When faced with these charges, it’s strongly recommended to have a lawyer who is familiar with how to contest DUI allegations. Your attorney should take the time to understand your side of the story, believe in you, and then know how to thoroughly investigate the incident. The lawyers in our Salt Lake City office can do just that. We know how to contest these charges and are perfectly willing to go into the Courthouse on South State Street, if necessary, to protect your rights. 

Call Melton Law at (801) 781-5803 or contact us online today to set up a free consultation. We’ll meet either in person or via video conference, whichever you prefer.

One common defense strategy in DUI cases is challenging the legality of the traffic stop. If law enforcement lacked reasonable suspicion to initiate the stop, any subsequent evidence, such as BAC results, might be deemed inadmissible in court. 

Additionally, the accuracy of breathalyzer or blood test results can be contested, especially if procedural errors or faulty equipment were involved. Law enforcement has the obligation to document that proper protocols for calibrating their breathalyzer equipment and storing blood samples were followed. We hold law enforcement to account.

Get a Traffic Ticket Off Your Record

Our work doesn’t stop at DUI defense. Maybe you want something as basic as a traffic violation removed from your record. The process of expunging a traffic ticket from your record can be complex, but it is often worth pursuing to prevent long-term impacts on insurance rates and driving privileges. Our founder, Attorney William Melton, has handled more of these expungements than any lawyer in the entire state! We’ll help you understand eligibility criteria and manage the necessary paperwork as we work towards the goal of successful expungement. 

Get the Personal Injury Settlement You Deserve

Proving the defendant’s negligence in personal injury cases is necessary if you’re going to get the settlement you need and deserve. To establish negligence, it must be shown that the other party had a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries as a result. Gathering evidence, such as witness testimonies, medical records, and expert witness analysis, will likely be needed in building a strong case. The team at Melton Law brings both dedication and close attention to detail in helping you do all of this. 

It's important that you not just get a settlement, but the final value truly reflects all that you have lost and suffered. That starts with medical expenses and lost wages, but it goes much further. What should you get for your pain and suffering—the mental trauma that may be taking its toll on your quality of life? Has your career arc been impacted in a way that the mere short-term calculation of lost wages can’t make up for? Were the injuries severe enough to require home renovation or even relocation for accessibility purposes? 

All of these are factors in determining an equitable settlement amount. We make sure that all of this, and more, gets considered. We negotiate assertively with insurance companies. If it becomes necessary to go to court, we are skilled and passionate at making your case in front of a jury.

    Get the Fair Trial You Deserve

    Our Salt Lake City lawyers are dedicated to upholding the rights of defendants and helping everyone get a fair trial. We believe firmly in the presumption of innocence, recognizing that it is the prosecution's burden to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. We emphasize the importance of protecting defendants’ rights at every stage of the legal process, from arrest through trial. 

    No matter what anyone is alleged to have done, they deserve a zealous advocate. We believe in a simple premise—simply because a crime is awful—as sex crimes, domestic violence, assault, and other allegations surely are—doesn’t mean that everyone accused of those crimes is guilty. It doesn’t mean people don’t deserve second chances. If you or someone you love is facing criminal charges, reach out and let us help.
