Attorney representation in Murray, Utah since 1944  

Utah DUI Defense Lawyer

Our DUI lawyers at Day Shell & Liljenquist L.C., defend individuals against charges of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Our chief criminal defense attorney, Steve Spencer, is known for his honesty with clients charged with a DUI. During the first meeting with a client, Steve discusses the pros and cons of defense strategies; he is equally forthcoming if there is no defense, advising clients that their chances of a good outcome at trial may be limited. Nevertheless, he will help you get the best result possible.  For more information about our approach to DUI defense, contact our Murray, Utah, lawyers at Day Shell & Liljenquist, L.C.

Serious penalties in Utah for DUI

The penalties for a Utah DUI are among the most severe in the United States. Your license will be confiscated, your car impounded, and you will be taken to jail. There can be fines, drug and alcohol counseling, and restrictions on your license after it is returned to you. If you have a job that involves driving, a DUI conviction may affect your ability to keep your job. Penalties escalate with subsequent convictions or for property damage and injuries. Expungement is only possible after 10 years.

How we can help

Our DUI attorney will investigate the traffic stop, the administration of the BAC test and field sobriety tests, and interview any witnesses, in developing a case for trial. Steve is often successful in having a first offense reduced to lesser charges, such as reckless driving, or entering the client in a diversionary program. If you are convicted, our drunk driving lawyer can help expunge your record after all penalties have been paid and the required time elapsed.

It is important to contact an attorney immediately upon being charged to begin the process of recovering your license and your car.
