In a bind with the law ? Loni is lawyer you need !!
there's lawyers and more lawyers but no lawyer in this state can hold a candle to Mr De Land. Outstanding is a word that doesn't hold a bit of a title to give to this man. what a great attorney. And one heck of a good man also. If you think that there is a better attorney in the state or even in the country I wouldn't bet your life on it. There is no better attorney. He may be a little more costly than the others but Im telling you first hand that he is worth every cent when your in a pinch. Id put my bets on him with the top attorneys in the country. Jerry Spence was good. Loni is in that class and holds it with ease. The best !! he saved my but.

Stellar Representation
Several years ago I found myself in need of a Lawyer for a DUI charge. I was going through a difficult time in my life at the time and decided after speaking to several people to hire Mr. DeLand. I made an excellent decision. Mr. DeLand was able to have the charge reduced to a DWI, no jail time a reduced fines. I was also not required to receive months of DUI counseling saving me more time and money. Mr. DeLand facilitated everything leading up to my court date and simply told me where I needed to be and when saving me an incredible amount of stress which at that time in my life was of utmost importance. I have since recommended Mr. DeLand to several people.

The Best Criminal Defense Attorney In Utah
Loni Deland is the number one Criminal Defense Attorney in the State of Utah. His untouchable success record, reputation, and professionalism are second to none. His rates are more than reasonable, especially if it is results that you need. Loni Deland takes special interest in each and every client to ensure the best representation possible. He puts his heart and soul into every case. Over the years I have recommended Mr. Deland's services to over a dozen people needing representation for themselves or a loved one. Every single one of them was more than pleased they had retained Mr. Deland. About 15/16 years ago I was going through a very tough time and making very poor life choices. I found myself charged with an aggravated DUI that Mr. Deland managed to get dropped to a "Reckless" charge (small fine, no jail, no drama). It wasn't too long before I screwed up again, but this time, I hired a different attorney because my blood alcohol level was only a .05. I figured I could get by with a less expensive attorney (I saved $200). That was a horrible idea. I learned the hard way that when hiring an attorney it is wise to pay for the best, even if you think your situation may not require top of the line representation. Apparently, I was not quite finished with my self abuse, and got yet another DUI. I was facing prison and a felony charge. I honestly wanted to die. The only things I had going for me is that no one was hurt, and I had Loni Deland to defend me. Mr. Deland could see potential in me even though I could no longer see the good in myself. Mr. Deland got the felony dropped to a misdemeanor and a slap on the wrist. His expertise saved me in court, but his empathy and solid personal advice after court resonated with me very deeply and I turned my life around. Looking back, it is hard to believe that I was the person making all of those stupid decisions. Now, I am a very successful business owner and a very happy person. I owe many of my successes, if not in fact, my life, to Loni Deland. In him, you will find the best Criminal Defense Attorney in the State of Utah, and much, much more.
