A DUI Conviction Can Have a Devastating and Long-Lasting Impact On Your Life; We'll Help You Fight Your Charges. Without qualified legal counsel, handling a DUI charge on your own can be overwhelming. Even if it's your first offense, you will be facing potential jail time, fines, license suspension, community service, mandatory drug/alcohol programs, and more.
In Utah, drug crimes are taken seriously and prosecuted aggressively. The charges and penalties you will face for a drug offense vary significantly based on the type of substance you were found with, the amount, and what the prosecution believes you intended to do with the substance. Possession of a controlled dangerous substance can be classified as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the specific circumstances of your case.
Few criminal charges come with the lifelong implications that sex crimes do. Sexual offenses are taken seriously and prosecuted aggressively. If you have been arrested and charged with a sex crime, you are facing severe and long-lasting consequences that could affect nearly every aspect of your life for many years to come.
A protective order, also known as a restraining order, is a court order that is often granted in situations of alleged domestic violence. In the initial hearing, the accused generally doesn't have a chance to defend themselves. The judge will hear the accuser's story and will typically grant a temporary protective order that prevents the accused from contacting the alleged victim without legal repercussions.

I was visiting Utah for the weekend and got a speeding ticket and reckless driving for the speed I was going. I was very worried I would get points on my license and or get my license suspended but I am so happy with the results that Melton Law got me. They got the reckless driving dismissed and no points on my license for speeding. I only had to pay a small fine for speeding but no points on my record. Very happy with the results. I do wish they communicated with me more often even if there was no progress during the time being, but definitely would still consider Melton Law first.

Melton law has well-equipped professionals but I must say there is room for growth regarding the communication and updates they have with clients.
Bi-monthly updates, at the least, would be beneficial to keep clients informed coupled with concrete next steps to follow... as they unfortunately went months without providing information for me.

William was an absolute blessing to work with. I came to him afraid, last minute and in need of serious help. I had no idea how any of this worked. He guided me with kindness and understanding. He was able to help me in the late hours of the evening when nobody else was available. I'm so grateful to have found him. We have needed his services since our initial case and he was right there with the same kindness, compassion and understanding. He has put me at ease every time I have had to speak with him. I don't hope for anybody to have to have an attorney but if you do find yourself in the position

I contacted William Melton based on location. I live in Nevada but was written a citation in Utah. I was not disappointed with Mr Melton. He emailed texted and kept me informed along the way. I felt at ease knowing I could contact him at any time with questions as this was my first offense. He was able to reduce my citation from a moving violation to a fine paid and no points on my license. I highly recommend William Melton. Very satisfied

William Melton is the most, respectful hard working, dedicated attorney for a case. It never fails. Any time I have a question he is there to answer even if the question doesn't pertain to my case. Even when he didn't have an answer he went above and beyond to get the answer for me. He is very understandable and considerate of the hard times my family and I are currently going through. He doesn't give up on fighting for my rights and i feel that Mr. Melton was the best decision I could have fighting for me. I'm never left in the dark about anything going on. Thank you William Melton you have gone
