A possession charge follows you further than one court date.
Utah drug possession charges range from a class B misdemeanor to a felony depending on the substance and amount involved. Dallin has worked as a prosecutor, a public defender, and now private counsel — he reviews how the evidence was obtained, builds a defense suited to your case, and explains every step in plain language.

How this is charged shapes what happens next.
Possession cases turn on details that aren't always obvious from the outside — how the substance was found, what's actually being alleged, and whether the amount points toward personal use.
How the evidence was found matters
Dallin reviews the stop, the search, and the chain of custody — evidence obtained the wrong way can sometimes be challenged before the case ever reaches a jury.
Diversion isn't automatic — it has to be built
Utah courts sometimes offer treatment or diversion paths for possession cases. Whether that's realistic for you depends on the specifics, and Dallin will tell you honestly where you stand.

Yes. Possession and distribution are charged differently, though prosecutors sometimes stretch the facts toward distribution based on quantity or packaging. Dallin reviews exactly what the state is alleging and why.
Sometimes, depending on the charge, the substance, and your record. He'll tell you honestly whether that's a realistic path for your case, not just a hopeful promise.
