Salt Lake City Criminal Defense Lawyer

Defending Clients' Rights & Protecting Their Futures for Over 20 Years

Arrested in Utah? Don’t face this frightening experience alone. Some people try to forget the whole thing and ignore their charge until it goes away. But that is not a luxury you can afford. A criminal charge in Utah can be life-changing, as it can lead to a conviction, incarceration, fines, and shame. At the very least, you could face a criminal record, which means trouble renting an apartment or finding a job. It’s fair to say that even the best-case scenarios are still harmful and could damage your livelihood and happiness. As such, you need my legal advocacy in your corner.

When you need a criminal lawyer in Salt Lake City, call Catherine Cleveland Attorney at Law. I take your criminal case seriously as if it were my own liberties on the line.
