Best DUI Defense

I was pulled over late one night in WVC. The officer involved was set on arresting me for DUI. He asked me to preform the FST's in which after the officer placed me under arrest and later at the sub-station, I agreed to blow in the breathalyzer(intoxilizer). I was subsequently charged with DUI. P...erhaps one of the worst experiences I have been through. Over the next couple days following, it kept sinking in more & more of how much trouble I was actually in. A class "B" misdemeanor is a serious charge, involving a DUI.. serious consequences. I am a contractor, have a family and these punishments would greatly affect my personal life and business livelihood. Despite the onset of mail I started receiving from criminal defense attorneys, I decided I needed to look for someone I felt was going to be the best I could get. My wife and I started researching with friends, other people who had been through a DUI and the internet. I feel extremely thankful I found Glen Neeley. I sat down with 3 reputable DUI defense attorneys and Glen by far, was the most honest, straight forward, knowledgeable attorney I talked too. We discussed my case and I knew leaving his office this is the man I would be working with, best decision I've made throughout this ordeal. Right off the batt, Glen fought hard for me to keep my drivers license at the DMV hearing and we won, which is no small feat. Glen's perseverance continued throughout the course of the court hearings. Glen was able to get some major pieces of evidence excluded from the courts by proving improper legal procedures by the arresting officer. A plea deal was offered by the prosecution but not what I felt comfortable settling for. We decided to take the case to trial. I was very nervous for the outcome but extremely confident in Glen. Verdict.. NOT GUILTY!

2nd time DUI and alcohol restricted driver charges dismissed.

Being formerly convicted of a DUI, I became a target for the UHP during an afternoon traffic stop and once again found myself facing the 'all powerful' criminal justice system. Knowing I was innocent of the additional alcohol related charges being made against me, I began doing extensive research an...d came across attorney Glen Neeley. Being through the courts before and knowing what I was facing, and also after my past experience of dealing with an attorney who I would classify as careless and crooked, this time I wanted to become as informed about the system AND educated about my defender as much as possible. I asked around, read online profiles, reviews, endorsements, and met with several attorneys. After evaluating my options, although the farthest away in distance and highest priced, GLEN NEELEY became an OBVIOUS choice. He not only has outstanding qualifications, but is an expert in what he does and has the drive and credentials to prove it. He is one of less than 50 attorneys throughout the entire US who is board certified for DUI defense, 1/50 in the entire Untied States! As I’ve come to find, there are huge differences in attorneys -you can spend countless hours researching numerous lawyers like I did, or save your time and energy and just look up Glen or give him a call for a consultation. Unlike other lawyers, he took extra time during our initial meeting to listen carefully and fully understand the scope of things before immediately jumping on how to best attack back and spewing irrelevant information. Not to mention, when he did speak his overall thinking and plan of action made the most sense compared to any others out there. He stands as an authority when it comes to defending DUI/DWI, and for those who aren't aware, he is also a co-author of a very helpful and informative book, 'Utah DUI Survival Guide: A citizens protection manual’; reading which I *highly* recommend for anyone that has or may ever drink and drive (even just 1 drink!). It may prevent you from ending up in some of the situations I have. The justice system, including law enforcement, is setup to be very intimidating and at no point meant to be handled by an uninformed or misguided person. This second time around, during my entire ordeal there was a wonderful sense of dependability and trust -I believed in him and I think he truly believed in me. Anytime I had questions or concerns he was available. I was always briefed on what to expect at every stage of the process, and he represented me with the utmost respectability. Along with his stellar reputation and ongoing hard work, Glen deserved this win, and I *highly* recommend him to represent anyone who finds themselves facing the uphill battle of DUI allegations. Thank you Glen!

Glen got my DUI dismissed!

Glen reviewed my case and was quickly able to determine the flaws in the officer's report. He kept me in the loop and was able to explain the details of my case to calm me down. Glen was able to talk the prosecutor down to a dismissal of my DUI. Thank you Glen!

BEST ATORNEY I HAVE EVER USED

MR. NEELEY WAS BY FAR AND AWAY THE BEST ATTORNEY I HAVE USED. I HAVE USED SEVERAL ATTORNEYS IN MY 69 YEARS AND HE IS THE TOP OF THE CLASS. READ HIS BOOK "Utah DUI Survival Guide" ..He acted better than the book it self. He treated myself (the charged person and my wife in an excellent manner, ... HE WAS AS STATED ABOVE TRUSTWORTHY..RESPONSIVE KNOWLEGEABLE..KEEP ME INFORMED.. HE DID NOT WASTE MY OR MY FAMILYS TIME. HE JUST WENT ABOUT HIS BUSINESS AND DID WHAT HE SAID HE COULD DO.. WOULD DEFINITLY RECOMMEND GLEN TO ANY ONE.

Charged with Operating a Boat While Under The Influence of Alcohol

Mr. Neeley represented my son who is from Colorado in a DUI case that occured on Lake Powell. Mr. Neeley was extremely professional, knowledgeable with regard to Utah law and specifically DUI case strategy. We could not have been more pleased with Mr. Neeley's services and handling of the case. Mr.... Neeley is well versed in Utah case law (many of which are cases that he has handled) that helped us acheive a positive outcome for our case. The case was eventually dismissed. We would recommend Mr. Neeley to those in need of defending a DUI/DWAI charge.

"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"

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."
