Criminal Defense 35%

The Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution guarantees access to an attorney when an investigation focuses on you or when you are formally charged. This important right serves the guilty and the wrongfully charged alike because the the law must be correctly applied to the circumstances and the importance of individual rights does not depend upon their status. Your rights are not compromised simply because you are charged. Even if you are convicted, you still have rights to protect.

DUI and DWI 35%

Utah laws for DUI are found primarily in Title 41 Chapter 6a of the Utah code but also in various administrative rules for the Dept. of Public Safety. I good understanding of this law, which I possess, requires a lawyer to read "across" many texts. The DUI statutes are designed to make these cases a "slam dunk" for the prosecution, yet at times, something still goes wrong and people are wrongfully arrested or accused. If you are arrested, don't assume anything. Talk to a lawyer.

Negotiating with the Prosecutor from Hell!

Steve Spencer was attentive, creative, and prompt. He was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor from hell. He was able to get me the best deal I could have hoped for in a very unfortunate set of circumstances. I would highly recommend Mr. Spencer for any of your legal issues.

Highly Responsive and Passionate!!

Having found myself in an unfortunate legal bind while in treatment, Steve was the only attorney that answered his own phone - on a Sunday - after 5 PM! He was there to see me and get the details to represent me immediately. He explained the legal ramifications carefully and thoroughly and was so t...houghtful of my situation. If you want a caring attorney who will BE THERE for YOU, Stephen Spencer is your man!

Steve helped me when I felt helpless

I was injured in a car accident.. after dealing with the insurance.. I was denied coverage. Medical bills and missed work. Steve was there for the long haul..even all the way to trial. Steve proved the facts in this case getting everything covered and paid. Sincerely thankful.
