The stakes are incredibly high when facing criminal charges. The right lawyer can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.  While you may find lawyers at varying price points, the truth is clear: there are expert lawyers, and there are cheap lawyers, but there are no expert cheap lawyers.

The problem with criminal charges are the consequences

In a previous article, “The Problem with Being Accused of a Crime”, we discussed why being accused of a crime is a major problem. If you or someone you love has been charged with a crime, it’s worth your time to read that article. Criminal charges can result in life-altering consequences that can be devastating.

Life’s Problems Cost Money

Everyone will experience problems in life, whether it’s health issues, car troubles, or home repairs due to natural disasters. In these situations, we seek experts to help fix it. And we have to consider: What am I willing to pay to fix it?

We know that fixing problems usually comes at a cost, and we accept this reality, especially when it involves seeking expert help.  We understand that quality and expertise come at a higher price, whether it’s for a mechanic, plumber, or doctor.

A Serious Criminal Charge is like a Serious Illness

Imagine if you or a loved one were facing a serious illness. You would spare no expense to try and find a cure. The same is true for criminal charges that threaten to upend your life: What would I pay to fix it? You do this knowing that there is no guarantee they will recover. You do this knowing that it is worth it to try to save yourself or the one you love.

Like a terrible illness, there is no guarantee that you or your loved one will avoid the consequences of criminal charges. But also, like an illness, if you or your loved one’s future is going to be saved, you need an expert, an expert criminal defense attorney, because experience and expertise matter. Without an expert criminal defense lawyer with years of experience in Utah, the odds saving your future are much lower.

It’s Not Time to Be Cheap

Facing serious charges like sexual crimes, assault, burglary, or other serious felonies and misdemeanors can upend and ruin your life much like a deadly illness. In these critical moments, you need an expert and savvy criminal defense attorney who knows the legal system inside and out and can guide you through the process. That comes at a cost. When it’s over, no one ever regrets not doing everything they could to save their future, they only regret not doing enough.

Whether you choose Stone River Law or someone else, when facing criminal charges in Utah, it’s not the time to be cheap. It’s time to try and save your future. It’s time to hire an expert.
