DUI & criminal defense in Salt Lake City — Utah’s busiest court.
The 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City handles the highest DUI volume in Utah. We appear there weekly — for arraignments, suppression hearings, and trials. Brady and Kelly know the prosecutors and the judges, and we know how to move a case efficiently through that docket.
3rd District — Salt Lake City
Salt Lake County’s consolidated district court handles felonies, Class A misdemeanors, and serious DUIs across the full Wasatch Front. The volume creates pressure — but also patterns. We use both.
Why Salt Lake City clients hire us.
While our home office is in Ogden, we maintain an active Salt Lake City practice — clients often want a defense attorney from outside the immediate jurisdiction, and our Weber County base offers that distance combined with deep familiarity with the 3rd District.
Direct attorney access — not paralegals.
Brady or Kelly takes every consultation call personally. The lawyer you hire is the lawyer who appears in 3rd District Court on your behalf.
10-day DLD hearing filing — same day.
Once retained, we file your Driver License Division hearing request immediately. Missing that 10-day window triggers automatic license suspension regardless of your criminal case outcome.
Evidence preservation — before it disappears.
Police dashcam, bodycam, dispatch audio, and breathalyzer maintenance records have short retention windows. Preservation letters go out within 24 hours of retention.
Honest fee structure — no surprises.
We discuss fees clearly at the first meeting. Most cases are flat-fee so you know your maximum cost upfront. The first consultation is always free.
Free case analysis.
No obligation. No judgment. Just answers from experienced Utah defense attorneys.
