DUI/DWI
DUIs are among the most common cases handled by criminal defense attorneys.
A DUI on your record can have a significant impact on many aspects of your life, including:
- Future employment opportunities
- Driving privileges
- Insurance premiums
With the first offense, you could spend up to six months in jail. If it is your second or third offense, you face even steeper penalties.
Although an ethical attorney cannot guarantee an outcome in any DUI case, probation is often an alternative to jail time. At Carr | Woodall, our South Jordan DUI attorneys fight hard to minimize the penalties you face or have your case dismissed altogether.
Drug Charges
Possession and/or distribution charges can cause a lot of stress. The seriousness of the charge depends on the type of drug and the amount you were accused of possessing. Penalties range from probation for a minor offense to suspension of your driver’s license or jail time for serious offenses.
If you are facing drug crime charges, you need the support of a dedicated attorney. Carr | Woodall has handled numerous drug crime cases and has achieved positive results on behalf of our clients.
Expungement
A prior criminal record, even from a long time ago, can affect lease applications, employment opportunities, licensing, insurance, and other parts of your life. After certain requirements are met, you may be able to have your record expunged. This will prevent most government agencies, potential employers, leasing agents, and others from knowing about your past. Our South Jordan criminal defense attorneys can assist you with the process of seeking expungement.
Protective Orders
Protective Orders often start in civil cases such as a divorce. However, failure to abide by the terms of a protective order can result in serious criminal charges. You should almost never agree to allow the entry of a protective order against you. In the rare cases you do, make sure you have consulted an experienced attorney first. The team at Carr | Woodall can advise you accordingly.
Traffic Crimes
Whether you have received a speeding ticket or are facing charges for a more serious offense, that fact remains that you are now facing consequences that can have a significant impact on your life. Even just a speeding ticket can add points to your license and cause problems with your driving privileges – especially if it is not your first offense.
At Carr | Woodall, we can help you fight traffic tickets and defend you against more serious traffic crimes, such as driving without a license or vehicular manslaughter.
