NEPHI DUI DEFENSE LAWYER.
Utah DUI defense is highly specific on search and seizure law. Nephi runs down the I-15 corridor and any traffic stop must be justified under the Utah and Federal Constitutions. Field sobriety testing can be challenged for insufficient probable cause or for an illegal stop, even if the field sobriety testing was voluntarily given.
JUAB COUNTY DRUG CHARGES.
Our Juab County drug crimes lawyers handle the following types of drug charges arising out of Juab County, Nephi and the surrounding cities:
(1). Simple marijuana possession. Marijuana possession in the state of Utah carries a mandatory driver license suspension.
(2). Possession of drug paraphernalia. Pipes, needles, spoons, bongs all can land you in jail and revoke your driver’s license.
(3). Drug distribution.
(4). Methamphetamine use or possession.
(5). Prescription drug fraud. Common prescription drug offenses include obtaining drugs by false pretenses. Forgery to obtain prescription drugs. Mislabeling and using prescriptions without a valid doctor’s order.
(6). Drugged driving. Even if you are validly prescribed prescription drugs, you still cannot drive if they impair your ability to drive a motor vehicle.
(7). Meth manufacturing. Drug distribution and manufacturing carries significant prison and can be charged in federal court.
NEPHI TRAFFIC LAW FIRM.
We handle speeding tickets, reckless driving, careless driving, DUIs, drugged driving, points violations, improper lane change and a host of other I-15 traffic offenses. If you are out of state or out of town, we can often get the judge to waive your appearance and handle the matter by mail.
