Dain Smoland

I was recently cited for shoplifting and was faced with the decision of whether or not to hire an attorney to represent me or to represent myself. I ended up doing some online searches and came across his informational post about the possible repercussions of shoplifting in Utah (http://smolandlaw.c...om/shoplifting-in-utah-and-the-consequences-by-a-salt-lake-defense-attorney/). After contacting another defense attorney whom I wasn't thrilled about, I sent Dain an email and received a prompt, polite, and informative response. Dain helped me sort through my case and my options as quickly as possible, and gave me wonderful recommendations as to how it may be best to proceed with my case. He seemed knowledgeable about the judge and prosecutors I would be working with, which is invaluable as you are considering a potential attorney. Dain was extremely knowledgeable about the sentence I would likely receive as a first-time offender, and worked to get me the best deal possible with the least amount of court time possible. He also used convenient online case management software and updated my file regularly and promptly. Most importantly, Dain made me feel as though my case was important and was very personable in his interactions with me. His rates are extremely reasonable, and I would look forward to working with him if I should ever again require a defense attorney.

Dain worked with me on a reckless driving case that went to trial this year in Salt Lake. I wasn't sure what to expect and couldn't afford a big disruption to my already very maxed out schedule, so Dains timely and clear guidance throughout the case was priceless. He made it feel like a fairly predic...table and painless process over-all.
