Weyher Fulkerson Launches New Salt Lake City Criminal Defense Website

SALT LAKE CITY - Nov. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Many Utah residents do not know what their rights are in the event of an arrest or what charges they could face if convicted for various criminal accusations. In an attempt to provide a knowledgeable resource for state residents who are unaware of these important rights and regulations, the attorneys at Weyher Fulkerson — a criminal defense firm based in Salt Lake City — have recently announced the launch of a new website detailing important aspects of Utah criminal law, with a particular emphasis on laws and policies surrounding driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol.

The site includes pages of information on DUI laws on legal limits as well as roadside checkpoints, the potential consequences an individual could face upon conviction, and various DUI defenses the attorneys use in the cases they accept. The website also details information about a wide variety of criminal offenses in the state — including assault; domestic violence; drug charges such as trafficking, possession, cultivation, distribution, and manufacturing; sex crimes; violent crimes such as burglary, child abuse, murder, and manslaughter; and white collar crimes such as bribery, extortion, fraud, Ponzi schemes, and embezzlement.

The website explains other, sometimes complex areas of criminal law, such as the policies surrounding bench warrants and other arrest warrants in the state and how a criminal defense attorney can work to set or reduce bail by requesting a bond hearing. Another article discusses expungement law and policy, explaining when and how an individual with a criminal record can have his or her arrest or conviction cleared. A news blog is included on the new site in order to keep site content current with useful and updated information. Built in cooperation with Scorpion Design, Inc. — a nationally renowned legal marketing company — the lawyers at Weyher Fulkerson hope the website and news blog serve Utah residents by providing useful and accurate information regarding the state laws so that they can better understand them.

Each criminal defense attorney at Weyher Fulkerson is dedicated to providing strong legal services to the clients he or she represents throughout the greater Salt Lake City region. With years of courtroom experience and a track record that includes a number of successful cases, the lawyers have received repeated recognition from the Utah State Bar for their pro bono work. Each case receives the combined benefit of all three of the firm’s partner attorneys and their respective wisdom, advice, and input.
