01 · GETTING STARTED
Let’s make
things clearer.
Representation, appointments, and what to expect when working with the firm.
What types of cases does your law firm handle?
The Robinson Law Firm handles every type of criminal case, from traffic tickets to first-degree felonies. Whatever your charges, you’ve come to the right place.
How long will my case take?
While every case is different, the average misdemeanor case lasts between three and six months, with one hearing taking place each month. However, your case may be resolved much quicker or take longer depending on the complexities at play.
How can I schedule an appointment?
Please visit our contact page to schedule your free consultation. Current clients can schedule a 15-minute or 30-minute phone appointment.
How much will legal representation cost?
We usually represent clients on a flat-fee basis so you know upfront how much representation will cost. The specific price varies from case to case depending on the severity of the charges and the complexity of the issues presented. Please contact us for a free consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
We generally require payment in full upfront. However, we do offer discounts for military and certain low-income individuals. Please contact us to confirm availability.
02 · NAVIGATING THE PROCESS
Your case.
The road ahead.
Helping a loved one, reviewing evidence, and understanding the court process.
See the case roadmapMy family member is charged with a crime. What can I do?
If a loved one or close friend has been arrested on criminal charges and you want to help, be careful speaking with them on jail phone calls, which are often recorded, and contact an attorney on their behalf who can help.
What are the stages of a criminal case?
Every criminal case will have an Arraignment and Pretrial phase where the parties try to resolve the case without a trial. Class A misdemeanor and felony cases also hold more hearings before the Arraignment to protect you from frivolous charges. Read our guide to the stages of a Utah criminal case for more details.
Will my driver license be suspended?
Your driver license may be suspended if you have been arrested on allegations of DUI. In addition, certain convictions can carry a mandatory suspension or may indirectly suspend your license due to the accumulation of points. Contact an attorney immediately to try to avoid these consequences.
Can I read the police report and watch body cam footage?
The prosecution has discovery obligations that include police reports, witness statements, and available body camera footage, subject to the applicable rules and court orders. You can review the evidence with your attorney to build a defense.
Will my court hearing be in person or by WebEx?
Judges have different preferences when it comes to holding court in person or virtually. If attending court in person poses a particular hardship to you, we can request permission to attend virtually even if the judge usually prefers parties to appear in person.
When is my next court hearing?
You can search for hearings scheduled within the next 30 days at the Utah state court website. It is possible to search by case number, party name, or judge name.
Confirm the details with your attorney and the court, and follow the notice for your case.
