Felony Drug Charges in Utah

Felony Defense Lawyers

If you have been charged with felony drug charges in Utah you need a criminal defense lawyer that can be aggressive and thorough in the legal representation. There are different categories of drugs in Utah. Depending on the drug and drug charges the felony criminal charge can be at different levels. A very important factor in legal representation in a felony drug charge is the performance of the preliminary hearing. At the preliminary hearing the prosecution in Utah must put on evidence enough to be able to charge you with the felony drug charges. The preliminary hearing is a great opportunity in your felony drug case to see all the evidence, and to cross examine the police officers and witnesses. If you decide to not have a preliminary hearing then you are only guessing at how the police officers and witnesses will react to cross examination. Further, if you do not have a preliminary hearing then you will not get to inspect the evidence and challenge it before trial. It is not uncommon for the police officers to not test the drugs before a preliminary hearing.
