  • State v. McHugh, Judge Stott, 4th District Court, Provo. On June 24, 2009, Edward Flint and Jonathon Grimes for the Defendant, the Defendant was found guilty of making a threatening phone call after a two-day Jury Trial.


  • United States v. Vero Ken, US District for Utah, Central Division, Judge Waddoups. On June 11, 2009, Jonathon Grimes for Defendant successfully argued against the cross-referencing sentencing of defendant in Federal Court on a conviction for possession of a gun by a convicted felon. The US Attorney had sought to have the Defendant serve up to 10 years of prison for possession a handgun, because of pending charges of Attempted Murder in Wyoming State Court. Mr. Grimes convinced the Judge that the harsher penalties were not proven in a case where the defendant’s rights of due process and confrontation of witnesses was at issue, and the Defendant will only serve an additional 29 months of incarceration, instead of 10 more years.


  • West Valley v. Eschler, 3rd District Court, Salt Lake and West Valley Justice Court (two cases). On June 4, 2009, Jonathon Grimes for Defendant, Judge McCullaugh dismissed the last of several charges against defendant alleging domestic assault.

On February 20, 2009, Edward Flint for the Defendant, an Evidentiary Hearing on Defendant’s Motion to Suppress Evidence resulted in the Court finding that the police did not have Reasonable Suspicion to stop the defendant’s vehicle, and ordered the suppress of all evidence, resulting in the Dismissal of Felony charges of Possession of methamphetamine, DUI, weapons violations and other charges. This was the second time that this same defendant obtained a suppression of all evidence and dismissal of nearly identical charges in a different court, based upon the research and arguments of Mr. Flint as his attorney.

AGGRESSIVE UTAH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

Many lawyers claim to be aggressive. Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. How can you tell if they are really willing to fight for you or if it's just talk?

Here's how:

Look at their record. Have they handled more than three times the jury trials of other lawyers with the same amount of experience? Have they won the majority of cases they've handled? Have they had cases dismissed and charges drastically minimized one after the next? Have they had prosecutors give up in the middle of a trial because of the strength of the case?

We have. We are the aggressive team of criminal defense attorneys at Access Legal. We will fight for you. We will do what it takes to keep you out of jail, eliminate fines and keep your life in order.
