Criminal Law

  KNOW YOUR RIGHTS If you are pulled over on suspicion of a traffic offense — including speeding, reckless driving or driving under the influence — it’s important to understand your rights. With that knowledge, you can determine in the moment if you safely can assert your rights or if you should obey an officer’s commands and work with an attorney… Read More
• Misdemeanors
  Utah’s alcohol laws may be well known for their far-reaching restrictions, but the penalties for breaking these laws are widely unknown to many inside and outside the state. While most of the penalties for breaking a Utah alcohol law are misdemeanors, there are cases where you could face felony charges.
• Drug Crimes
  As mentioned before, Utah’s marijuana laws are rather strict. In Utah, as well as many other states, driving under the influence of marijuana can result in a suspension of your license. But the Beehive State has taken things a step further. If you are caught with marijuana possession of any kind, your driver’s license will be suspended for six months.
• Assault
• Murder
  Additionally, if a DUI results in the death of another person, you can be charged with murder, a first-degree felony charge in Utah. The best way to avoid an alcohol-related misdemeanor or felony is to drink responsibly and always drive sober.

Property Law

• Property Damage
  If you’ve had an accident and are unsure of how to proceed, call Kelly Cardon & Associates to talk about your accident, injuries, property damage, medical bills, lost income, or any other concerns. Based on the evidence gathered, they will make a recommendation on the fair settlement value of your case, and start negotiating accordingly.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  When you’re injured at the hands of another, either through their negligence or through their intent, you deserve to be compensated by their insurance company or them personally. Never believe that their insurance company is there to protect you. They come armed with experienced adjusters, and attorneys, with the goal to pay as little to you as you let them get away with. You must be ready for this battle, because that is what they’ll turn your claim into. Adding experience, knowledge, and foresight to your claim is the least and sometimes the most you can do to level the battleground. Bringing over 30 years of experience in the personal injury area enhances your chances of recovering all that you have suffered from. Whether it includes auto, truck, or motorcycle accidents as well as back injury, neck damage, broken bones, scarring, or disability we have the personal injury background to not only prepare your case, but to properly present it. Many cases reach settlement value early but some will have to go to trial, all will be pursued diligently, subject only to the complexity of the injuries and facts of each individual case. This is because we take each case on a percentage basis of the recovery so that we are in this with the same interest as you. There are no attorney’s fees for you unless there is recovery of damages and this agreement ensures that we achieve maximum recovery, in the shortest period of time.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Everyone should choose their own disposition of their estate. The alternative is the state makes that choice for you. If you pass without a valid will then you pass intestate. That means the state has provided for that situation. The intestate provision by the state may be a good thing or a bad thing for those that pass without a will or their heirs. But, how will they know unless they have compared their wishes with that provision? The simple answer is they won’t, and don’t. Spending the time to put your wishes and plan on paper when it involves decades of your life is a small tradeoff to ensure their proper disposition. A will naming a personal representative and your heirs will accomplish this.
