Criminal Defense — Quackenbush Legal, PLLC
01

Analyzing The Evidence And Discovering Options For Your Issue

Attorney Alyssa Beard draws on experience from the Utah Indigent Defense Commission, the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center, and family law work at the firm. She provides a proactive defense by listening, investigating the charges, and developing counter-narratives to the prosecution's claims.

In DUI cases, she examines the circumstances of the traffic stop and field sobriety test procedures, and guides clients through administrative licensing hearings to preserve driving privileges. In drug possession cases, she investigates potential Fourth Amendment search violations and verifies substance quantities that affect sentencing. In domestic violence cases, the facts are reviewed for self-defense explanations and protective measures regarding contact with children.

She also handles theft, child abuse and protective order violations, and proposes alternatives such as diversion programs or deferred adjudication where possible.
