Don't face this frightening experience alone. Some people try to forget the whole thing and ignore their charge until it goes away. But that is not a luxury you can afford. A criminal charge can be life-changing, as it can lead to a conviction, incarceration, fines, and shame. At the very least, you could face a criminal record, which means trouble renting an apartment or finding a job.

If you're seeking powerful, competent and aggressive representation, then you've come to the right place. I, Attorney Catherine Cleveland, understand the criminal justice system extensively and know what it takes to fight aggressively and successfully in court.

Sex crimes carry a heavy price. Not only could you face years in prison, but your reputation is also permanently stained. Thus, it is vital to clear your name as quickly as possible. As a Salt Lake City sex crimes defense lawyer, I utilize a vast amount of legal resources to help my clients achieve the best results.
Sometimes arguments escalate and fights break out. Situations that could have been resolved differently may end in an arrest, leaving people wondering what happened and worrying about the future. Not all violent crimes are committed intentionally or maliciously, and my job is to prove that. If you have been arrested for a violent crime, it is okay to worry.

I can't say enough of this wonderful lady..she helped me be strong when I felt so powerless. I felt the world would turn against my son. She reminded me I was taller with her behind me. Even when I was just wanting legal advice she was there to listen. Devoted hours of time before I even retained her services. If you want the best, you want Cleveland law firm. She even answers her own phone....wow. Hire Catherine Cleveland because she gets it. I type this with tears of joy in my eyes...If you knew my story you would know this was scary. She helped me feel supported, encouraged, empowered, and most

Catherine saved me from a damsel in distress! The charge was stalking and my prior attorney had left me feeling light in the wallet and resigned to defeat. But given the penalties and stigma of a conviction, I knew I had to do better. I took to Avvo, where Catherine provided by far the most thoughtful and relevant answers to my questions and some useful insights of her own. It was clear she’d successfully defended many in my situation. More importantly, she understood my psychology and frustration. Her compassion and commitment are genuine.
