Utah's drug laws are a lot broader than many people realize. For example, did you know that sharing a controlled pain pill with a friend who is suffering from a serious illness is just as illegal as sharing a joint?

Penalties are more severe than many people realize as well, with felonies for sales or manufacturing offenses carrying mandatory minimum prison terms in many cases. In addition, these penalties can also be greatly increased or enhanced by other factors, as is the case with offenses occurring within 1,000 feet of a hospital, park, school or other places where children gather. This is true even if the drugs were used or sold in a private home that is within 1,000 feet of one of these locations.

At the offices of Greg S. Law, PLLC, our goal is always to secure our clients' freedom through an acquittal or dismissal of charges. While we are not are always able to achieve this goal in every case, the diligent preparation and aggressive approach we employ consistently produces impressive results.

Utah Controlled Substances Attorney

No matter how strong you think the prosecution's case is, and no matter how tough the police or prosecutors talk, don't assume that there is no defense.

For instance, if drugs were found near you but not on your physical person, we may be able to present a successful defense based on that lack of physical possession. Also, many drug cases are based on evidence that has been obtained illegally, in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Lack of sufficient probable cause is another common issue. The point here is that there may be a way to have the evidence thrown out or suppressed due to a violation of your rights.
