Murder or Attempted Homicide

In no other type of criminal case is it as vital to have an experienced attorney by your side as in defending against charges of murder or first-degree homicide. Utah is a death-penalty state, which means your life is on the line. If you or someone you know is facing a murder investigation, you need someone who’s been there before. Experience with serious felony crimes is a critically important requirement in a defense lawyer who will be working on a murder case.

In serious cases like homicide and attempted murder, clients of the firm will usually have at least two attorneys and one paralegal assigned to their case. Our experience has taught us to mount a thorough and independent investigation in order to raise all possible defenses and prepare the case record for any necessary appeals. From offices in Salt Lake City and St. George, the Utah criminal defense law firm of Schatz, Anderson & Associates is available to represent clients in murder investigations and homicide trials throughout the state, including the communities of Tooele, Provo, Vernal, Ogden, and Cedar City.
