Edward D Flint
About Edward
Biography
Since 1985, I have devoted my practice to defending life and liberty, and the Constitutional rights of my clients. The government has far more resources than you. They have prosecutors, police, and millions of dollars in budget. Public perception of persons charged with crimes also works against you.
You need an advocate who is experienced and willing to do battle to protect your rights. I walk the walk. I have tried over 100 cases to juries in my career, and continue to take it to the box on a regular basis. I have earned the respect of judges, prosecutors and other lawyers across Utah for my zealous advocacy and hard work for each of my clients over 30 years of law practice.
But don't expect flowers and puppies when you talk to me. I won't sugar-coat it, I won't give you false promises or blow smoke just to get you to sign a contract with me. I also won't give you false scare-tactic, hard-sell garbage either. You get personal attention from me, your lawyer, and not a run-around with "assistants" or paralegals. I personally return all calls and emails within 24 hours, usually faster, unless I'm in a trial.
Experience. Integrity. Hard work. That's why my clients get better outcomes.

Amazing experience
Edward Flint was not only very good at responding to any questions before and after the case but also was a very successful attorney to have. I would definitely recommend Ed for any case after how well he helped me in my tough situation.

My experience with Ed was positive from the beginning. He worked with me on payment arrangements that fit my budget, but that didn't stop him from giving me top-quality legal counsel from the very beginning. The outcome of my case was just what I had hoped for and he achieved it quickly and efficie...
Edward D Flint's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Ed Flint is an attorney who is not afraid to fight for justice. He doesn't roll overs He doesn't talk his clients into taking crappy plea deals. He stands in there and takes the punches for his clients, sometimes at a great personal sacrifice. Ed's significant experience, sharp legal mind, and incredibly dry sense of humor make him a tough adversary for any prosecutor. I highly recommend Ed!"
