A distribution charge carries far more weight than possession alone.
Distribution and intent-to-distribute charges in Utah are prosecuted far more seriously than simple possession, often as felonies. Dallin has worked as a prosecutor, a public defender, and now private counsel. He examines exactly how the state is building its case and where that case can be challenged.

This is a different level of case than possession.
Distribution charges often rest on inference — quantity, packaging, scales, or cash — rather than anyone actually witnessing a sale. That inference can be challenged.
“Intent to distribute” has to be proven
Prosecutors often build distribution charges from circumstantial evidence. Dallin examines whether that evidence actually supports the state's theory, or whether it's just as consistent with personal use.

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.

Prosecutors look at quantity, packaging, scales, cash, and communications to infer intent to distribute. Dallin reviews whether that evidence genuinely supports that theory or falls short of it.
Distribution charges are often filed as felonies, but the specifics of your case — substance, amount, and circumstances — determine the actual exposure. He'll walk through what applies to you.
Quantity is one factor among several the state typically relies on, not a conclusion by itself. That's exactly the kind of assumption Dallin tests when he reviews a case.
Immediately, if possible. Distribution cases move fast and early evidence review matters more here than in most charges. Call and he'll tell you what to do next.
