About Brent
Biography
I love my career as a Criminal Defense Attorney. Every day, I get to defend our Constitutional rights against an excessively punitive and discriminatory criminal "justice" system. In our criminal "justice" system, many people are wrongfully accused, over-charged, over-punished, or simply not afforded basic human respect. I endeavor to help my clients navigate this system. Sometimes this requires me to show a Jury why my client is wrongfully accused. Sometimes this requires me to show a Judge why a search, seizure, or interrogation, violated our Constitution. Sometimes this requires me to work with a Prosecutor to reach a fair and just resolution in a case. I look forward to performing these tasks and others in order to most effectively serve the people whom I represent.
Prior to opening my own practice, I worked at the firm of Langford-Ramos and its predecessor, Langford Legal. I also interned at the Salt Lake Legal Defender's Association, at the Utah Court of Appeals, and at the Hill Air Force Base Office of Legal Counsel. I currently sit on the Utah State Bar's Board for the Young Lawyer's Division as the Chair of a program that provides free representation to people facing eviction and as a Committee Member for a program that provides free legal advice to Veterans. I have been recognized as the 2018 Pro Bono Attorney of the Year and continue to volunteer through the Utah State and Federal Courts.
Prior to practicing law, I served in the United States Marine Corps and the Utah National Guard. My experience as an Infantry Platoon Sergeant, Intelligence Sergeant, and Linguist, helped prepare me to be successful in this career. I have been honored to represent many veterans in my practice.
Anything you can say now, I can say better later (Don't talk to the cops). Avvo Client's Choice Award: 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.

Burden of proof, beyond a reasonable doubt
Brent Huff and his staff are hands down the best legal Defense team. I won’t get into the details of my case but I was facing such an uphill battle with some very egregious DV charges from the state. They were not willing to agree to a lesser charge that would allow for me continue living my life wit...

An excellent attorney.
My family attorney recommended Brent as a victims advocate in a case that's lasted 3 years now. I'm happy to say I took that recommendation. I was a victim in a domestic violence case, suffocated at 6 months pregnant, threatened with a gun, continually harrased, and the court system brushed me off le...

It's "criminal" that I can only give 5 stars
First of all: Brent answers his own phone. That says so much about him. I had called, emailed, and left messages for 10 other lawyers--and never heard back from ANY of them! Called Brent, he answered in 2 seconds, and consulted with me for over an hour. I then hired Brent, who gave me confidence t...

Replied last July 31, 2023Wow! Thanks for trusting me with this case; it's great when we can get the prosecutor to see a case for what it actually is!

A true listener
I had a very unique situation involving domestic violence and as the victim was trying to help the defendant. It was very difficult to get the prosecutor to understand why I didn't want my person to he charged with a 3rd degree felony when all he needed was to get help. I was referred to Brent and at...

Great lawyer
Brent is the best Lawyer. My husband was looking at doing a lot of time for a domestic violence case. Brent saved him big time . He was totally on his side did more than expected . And in the court room he is awesome. I could not ask for a better Lawyer. I would never hire anyone else

Replied last March 31, 2020Thanks for trusting me with the matter; those private probation companies do a real disservice to society because they prioritize making money from a forced market over helping people who are trying to rehabilitate after a conviction.
