  • If you used a weapon to commit a crime

You are now under increased scrutiny in the criminal justice system. Anytime a gun is used in a crime, penalties increase dramatically.

We Take Gun Charge Defense Seriously

Edward Montgomery was the first attorney in Utah to defend against a 924(c) charge — a gun charge stemming from a prior domestic violence conviction. These are difficult cases, even if the conviction was many years ago. We're not afraid to tackle complex cases.

Two attorneys will review your case separately and then together to identify strengths and weaknesses and to develop a defense strategy to achieve the best possible outcome, given the facts.
