An assault charge is rarely as simple as it looks on paper.
Assault charges often come down to conflicting accounts of the same few minutes. Dallin has worked as a prosecutor, a public defender, and now private counsel. He examines the evidence and every witness statement, builds a defense suited to your case, and explains every step in plain language.

A protective order can move faster than the case itself.
Assault charges can bring consequences beyond the criminal case alone — including no-contact orders that affect your home, your family, or your job before anything is proven.
These can be issued almost immediately
A protective or no-contact order can affect where you can go and who you can see, sometimes before the underlying case is resolved. Dallin explains what's realistic to challenge and when.
Witness statements aren't always consistent
Assault cases often hinge on differing versions of the same incident. He reviews every statement for inconsistencies and builds the defense around what the evidence actually shows.
A prepared defense. Clear answers between hearings.

Dallin was very professional and kind throughout my whole experience with him. He answered all my questions and I feel so much less stressed out after talking to him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone facing or potentially facing charges.
Alexander GartsideStraight answers before you call
Aggravated assault generally involves a weapon, serious injury, or other aggravating factors, and carries more serious exposure. Dallin will explain exactly how your charge is classified and why.
It depends on the circumstances, particularly in cases involving someone you know. If one is issued, he'll explain what it means and what your options are.
Self-defense is a real legal defense in Utah, and it's one of the first things Dallin evaluates — what happened right before the alleged assault often matters as much as the incident itself.
As soon as you can. Witness memories and evidence are freshest early on, and that can matter for building your defense.
A strategic assault defense. A lawyer who keeps you informed.
