Facing Criminal Charges in Salt Lake City?

Whether you were arrested in Salt Lake City, West Valley, Sandy, or anywhere in between, you are now facing the full force of the Salt Lake County justice system. The clock is ticking, and the decisions you make next are critical. You need a defense attorney who knows the local courts and understands how prosecutors across the valley operate.

At Greg Smith & Associates, we provide the immediate, tactical defense you need. Our strategy is built on a crucial advantage: our founder, Greg Smith, is a former prosecutor. We don’t have to guess at the prosecution’s playbook; we anticipate it, using insider knowledge to build a stronger defense from day one.

Your Salt Lake Valley Advantage

Our firm’s reputation within the Salt Lake County legal community is a powerful asset. We are known by judges and prosecutors in courthouses from downtown SLC to West Jordan as hardworking, formidable advocates. This respect allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, often securing reduced charges or dismissals for our clients throughout the valley.

Expert Defense Across Salt Lake County

We offer aggressive representation for clients in every city across the valley, including West Jordan, Murray, Draper, South Jordan, Herriman, and Riverton. Our goal is a direct, strategic defense against any charge you face.

  • DUI Defense: Challenging every aspect of your stop and sobriety testing, whether you were on I-15 or a local road.
  • Drug Crimes: Scrutinizing search and seizure protocols to defend your rights against possession or distribution charges.
  • Assault & Domestic Violence: Providing a discreet yet powerful defense to protect your reputation and your future.
  • Theft & Property Crimes: Working to mitigate consequences and protect your record from charges like shoplifting or burglary.

An Elite Defense Doesn't Have to Be a Financial Burden

We believe exceptional legal help should be accessible. We are committed to providing top-tier defense with reasonable fees, flexible payment plans, and, unlike many firms, we often do not require a large retainer to start protecting you.

I had a difficult situation where a petition for guardianship for my loved one was still showing up years later on google searches - even though I never actually took the case to court to obtain guardianship AND the file had been deemed "private" by the court. Nevertheless, every google search of my loved one popped up with my petition for guardianship - leaving my loved one in a terrible situation while trying anything new. The top line which showed right below Utah.gov said "unable to care for self" so everyone saw that without even clicking on the link. THe first thing to tell you is that I have been trying to get this taken down for two years and every single attorney or reputation management site that I contacted said that it couldn't be done! Mr. Smith said "i'm not sure what can be done, but i think it is more likely than not that we succeed." None of the other people even tried. Mr Smith filed an order on verified motion to seal court records and directing removal of public notices. Both orders were granted by the judge on the following day. In addition, I worked closely with the paralegal staff of Ben and Patrick, who did alot of the research and always updated me in a timely fashion.. IT was an outstanding team effort. I can not praise them enough!

Ben has been an absolute lifesaver and a tremendous asset to me throughout this incredibly stressful process! He has gone completely above and beyond, working late nights and over weekends to make sure every single detail of my case is handled with absolute precision. His dedication, empathy, and work ethic are truly rare, and it is so comforting to know he cares so deeply about protecting his clients. I am so profoundly grateful to have Ben and this elite team fighting in my corner!

I hired Mr. Smith for a protection order case I was facing and him & his team knocked it out of the park. His assistants Ben and Patrick were super friendly and went above and beyond for me. The case was dismissed and I have these guys to thank! Highly recommend their services for anyone in a similar situation or just needing reliable legal representation. Thank you, guys! -Dominick

I highly recommend Greg Smith and his team. When I needed legal representation, Greg was professional, clear, and incredibly easy to work with. He gave great advice and made what could have been a stressful process very straightforward. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Patrick and Ben. The level of communication and efficiency from Patrick is top-tier. He is quick to respond, pays great attention to detail, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. Ben recently stepped up in a major way, staying late on a Friday evening to ensure a critical file was flawless and ready for a hard deadline. That kind of hustle and dedication to a client's timeline is incredibly rare. If you need a reliable, responsive law firm that treats you well, this is the team to hire.
