Dain Smoland

Extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and committed to your case. When you hire Dain as your lawyer, you don't feel like just another folder on his desk. You feel like the most important client period, no matter how small your case may seem. Dain was there with me every step of the way. He p...ushed and pushed, and got me a deal that was beer than I thought was possible. Dain goes above and beyond with everything he does. I have used other lawyers in the past, paid five times more, and been left wondering what it was I had paid for. But with Dain Smoland, you get taken care of. You get frequent updates in your case, regular invoices that are clear and void of confusion, and an overall sense of ease, because he's out there fighting for you! He is clear and finite with everything, and ALWAYS available to answer your call, no matter how ridiculous.

I couldn't have hoped for a better experience than I had with Dain Smoland-- he immediately responded to all my emails and inquiries; he was personable, respectful, and friendly; he was professional and savvy about how to proceed with my expungement. I hadn't originally intended to hire a lawyer bec...ause I thought an expungement was something relatively simple that I could figure out on my own. I couldn't have been more wrong. I very quickly got overwhelmed by the bureaucracy of it all, but Dain was able to cut right through the red tape for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

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.
