It is named after the juniper trees that grow abundantly in the area, which are commonly referred to as cedar trees. As of July 2021, the estimated population of Cedar City was 37,206 and the city encompassed nearly 36 square miles of land. Cedar City is home to Southern Utah University and hosts popular events such as the Utah Summer Games and the Utah Shakespeare Festival. The main contributors to the Cedar City economy are manufacturing, tourism, Southern Utah University, and residential construction.

Over 33 Years of Trial Experience

In Utah, the consequences of a criminal conviction are far-reaching. In addition to facing time in jail or prison, defendants may face significant fines and may have to complete community service and attend mandatory counseling or rehabilitation. Even when probation is granted in lieu of imprisonment, the terms of probation are extremely restrictive and the consequences of violating these terms (such as failing to report to a probation officer) are severe. Then there are collateral consequences, such as loss of professional licenses and employment, increased insurance costs (for DUI offenses), loss of custody, and more. 

All of this can be avoided by retaining competent counsel, and my Cedar City criminal defense firm is here to provide the level of representation you need – and deserve. I have been fighting for clients in criminal courts across Utah for more than 30 years, and I have personally handled more than 100 jury trials. This type of courtroom experience is hard to come by. It means that I know how the local courts, judges, and prosecutors. It means I know what strategies work and what it takes to secure the best possible outcome for every person I represent, no matter the obstacles or odds.  

It all starts with a confidential consultation with our criminal defense attorneys in Cedar City, UT. Call (435) 740-8460 or contact my firm online today! We serve clients in Cedar City and beyond.
