What to Expect – Facing the Fight with Hope

May 1, 2023 By stephenh


Facing criminal charges is a new experience for many people. It is natural to be nervous, anxious, or even downright scared.

Legal information found online often emphasizes worst-case scenario outcomes and the maximum punishments that can be imposed in Utah misdemeanor and felony prosecutions. But absolute worst-case scenarios are uncommon in actual practice.

Rather than focusing on the fear of what might happen, consider instead identifying specific actions you can take right now to improve your chances of a positive outcome in the short term, and to build foundations for your long-term future success.

Rather than worrying about what you don’t know, take a minute right now to learn about what you can expect as you meet with your attorney, as you participate in court processes, and as you work to develop a successful defense strategy and a plan for moving forward with life after your legal case has been handled.
