Utah Law Firm Adds Criminal Defense Practice Area

Craig Swapp & Associates is now accepting Utah criminal cases of clients who have been charged with drunk driving (or other driving-under-the-influence charges), drug offenses, domestic violence, parole/probation violations, and white collar crime. In addition, Craig Swapp & Associates will represent clients charged with other serious felony/misdemeanor crimes, such as arson, shoplifting, burglary, robbery, forgery, prescription fraud, drug possession, and drug distribution.

Craig Swapp & Associates’ lead criminal defense attorney, Gregory S. Wright, has 21 years experience representing clients charged with criminal offenses.  “We’re happy to have Greg part of our team,” says Managing Partner Craig Swapp. “He’s aggressive and tenacious in his defense work. He also brings a broad range of experience in nearly all areas of criminal defense, including local, state and federal courts.” 

Swapp explains why his law firm added a criminal defense practice area, “People deserve a strong defense of their legal rights when charged with Utah criminal charges by an over-zealous prosecution team. Too often, local, state and federal prosecutors misuse their powers when charging people with criminal activity. In many cases, people don’t even know they have committed a crime and make a critical mistake without understanding their full rights.”

The Utah criminal defense attorneys at Craig Swapp & Associates also understand that people sometimes make mistakes - such as driving under the influence or using recreational drugs. “Sometimes with a Utah DUI or a drug charge, people can become confused or intimidated, and unintentionally forfeit their rights.  We look to provide these people immediate access to a good, effective Utah criminal attorney to ensure that all of their rights are protected as the legal process proceeds,” adds Swapp, adding that many white collar crimes - such as identify theft, embezzlement or credit card fraud - can sometimes be very complex and unforgiving if mistakes are made unless an experienced fraud criminal defense attorney is retained.

Craig Swapp & Associates understand that a good Salt Lake City criminal defense lawyer must be available at anytime. Says Craig Swapp, “When your rights and freedom are on the line, its important that our criminal defense team be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

The Law Firm of Craig Swapp & Associates handles consumer law cases, including criminal defense, serious personal injury, wrongful death, vehicle or pedestrian accidents, animal attacks, dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, and bankruptcy.
