- Drug Charges

A drug related crime is a criminal offense that often involves possession, use, sale, manufacture, or distribution of an illegal narcotic. The US DEA uses the Controlled Substance Act to provide information on criteria and classification for substances. In Utah, illegal narcotics include: cocaine, crack, heroin, LSD, marijuana, methamphetamine (meth), steroids, opium, and unauthorized prescription drugs. Drug crimes may be classified as a misdemeanors or felonies. The classification usually depends upon the type of drug involved, the amount of the drug under possession, and the type of drug crime committed.

- Theft and Fraud

A theft crime is a criminal act involving the stealing or receiving of another person’s property without that person’s consent. The severity of criminal charges will depend upon several factors: the type of theft crime committed, the value of the stolen property, if the person has a prior criminal record, and if the person used a weapon during the commission of the crime. If a person is convicted of a theft crime, they may be sentenced with imprisonment, fines, probation, parole, and community service.

When a person is placed on probation, they must comply with the term of their probation. A common term of probation is regular contact with a probation officer. If the terms of the probation are not followed or if the person commits another criminal offense while on probation, they can be charged with probation violation.

People who are charged with probation violation face serious consequence, including further legal action. Due to the serious legal penalties involved and the impending legal action, it is advisable to retain the services of a qualified Utah criminal defense attorney after being charged with probation violation. If a lawyer gets involved immediately, the lawyer may be able to work with the prosecutor and judge, which can lead to lesser legal consequences.

Most expungements are simple enough that you can do your own expungement by filing the proper forms in the proper place. Information about how to do your own expungement is available here. If you decide you qualify for an expungement and would like to hire Intermountain Legal you can plan on paying about $750 for the expungement.
