Utah Drug Courts - Salt Lake Defense Lawyer

If you are facing criminal charges and also struggling with substance abuse or addiction, then a Utah drug court may provide a good alternative to the traditional criminal justice system.  But a drug court program is not always the best resolution for your criminal case.  In deciding whether to participate in a drug court program, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney who has real experience working in the drug court system.

Stephen Howard is one of only a few Utah criminal defense lawyers in private practice who has previously served as defense counsel in a Utah felony drug court program.  As a former member of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, he is uniquely qualified to help his clients decide whether participation in a Utah drug court program is the right way to resolve their case.

Utah drug courts offer a number of benefits to those who choose to participate.  But in choosing to participate, a person also gives up certain rights and opportunities.  For many people, the benefits outweigh the costs.
