My name is Glen Neeley; I am currently one of two Board Certified DUI Defense Lawyers in Utah and I focus most of my practice on DUI and Drug offenses. I have spent my twelve plus years of practice on the defense side. I began to focus on DUI cases in late 1999 and early 2000 after becoming a member of the National College for DUI Defense. I have hundreds of hours of continuing legal education on criminal law issues and specifically on DUI defense.
I have been married to the love of my life since 1995. We have three beautiful and ambitious daughters. I grew up in the Ogden, Utah area. I am a religious man and served the Lord on an LDS Mission for two years in Canada preaching the Gospel. I also served my country for 8 years in the United States Air Force. My family and I are blessed to live in Ogden and have many close family members and friends who we enjoy spending time with often.
Because my practice focuses on DUI defense, I often speak and lecture to other lawyers about how to defend a DUI case. I have been interviewed by several TV stations, newspapers and other local media in cases and issues involving DUI or other intoxication issues.
My goal is to focus on each case that I take and provide personal client attention. I try more cases in a year than most criminal lawyers try in ten years and I believe that is for several reasons. I really enjoy my work. I enjoy standing up for the person who cannot stand up for himself. In most cases, I build a friendship with my clients. I believe in people and their humanity. If I can help them in their time of stress, I want to do whatever I can. I enjoy trials. I enjoy the stress that comes with being in trial and the feeling of being alive and giving of myself. I believe that when I walk in that courtroom, as arrogant as this might sound, I am in charge and the goal is to help my client.

Great DUI defense is a mixture of complex scientific and forensic issues combined with a unique ability to persuade judges and jurors predisposed to presume the guilt of the accused. Glen Neeley's amazing skill set is highlighted by his board certification and his national reputation as an elite DUI lawyer. I highly recommend his services.

There are many lawyers to choose from. However, there is only one that deserves your trust. Attorney Neeley is more than just a gifted litigator he truly cares about those who have entrusted their cases to him. This compassion for others is translated into his innate ability to pursuade others to his/your view with great success. With years of trial experience behind him his advocacy skills exceed those that oppose him. I am not sure what is more recognized, his reputation as an exceptional litigator or his passion to assist others in their time of need. Without hesitation Attorney Neeley is the lawyer I trust to help you
RobRoy Platt, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 26, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I know Glen from speaking with him on a panel of lawyers on law practice management. It is clear to me that Glen is very knowledgeable in Criminal and DUI defense. He has truly limited his practice to this area of the law and as a result, has gained an intimate knowledge of his chosen area of practice and, from my perspective, is a leader in Utah on this topic. I would, without hesitation, call Glen if I were facing a DUI charge.
