Indecent Exposure & Lewd Conduct

Salt Lake City Lewd Conduct Defense Lawyers

Charges of indecent exposure and other lewd conduct can vary dramatically, depending on the situation. Public urination can lead to a disorderly conduct charge for lewdness, which is a relatively minor issue. However, public urination that is witnessed by a minor can be considered lewdness involving a child, which is a much more serious matter. A conviction can lead to sex offender registration. These and other charges, such as flashing, public nudity and sex in public, are serious matters.

At Access Legal, we take all indecent exposure and lewd and lascivious conduct cases seriously.

Accused of lewd conduct or indecent exposure? Let us fight it!

We will fight for you because we understand the damage that these matters can do to your reputation. Our attorneys will work hard to prevent such damage. We will stand up for you to help save you from jail time, fines and all other repercussions you may be faced with if convicted of a sex offense. Lewdness in front of a child under age 14 is a "Sex Crime" that labels you a sex offender and requires that you register yourself as a sex offender, possibly for the rest of your life. Don't trade the rest of your life away for a quick, cheap deal today. Don't give in to pressure to plead guilty when you could suffer serious consequences for the rest of your life.

As soon as we get started on your case, we will start digging. We will pull out all the facts to design a legal strategy to protect you. To us, criminal defense is in large part about thorough preparation and strategizing. We will do what it takes to protect you.

We have more than 25 years of combined experience in standing up for people accused of crimes in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah. Let us put our experience to work for you in defending you against indecent exposure and other related charges.

Throughout the years, we have taken many cases to trial. In fact, we believe that we have taken three times as many cases overall to trial than most of our peers with the same amount of years of practice. Even more importantly, we have won the majority of the cases we have brought to trial. Our success is based on the fact that we are extremely aggressive. We do everything in our power to get you the results you deserve.

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.
