The city of Fillmore has perhaps the most surprising set of crime statistics in all the state of Utah. While the rates for property crimes such as burglary and larceny and even the rates for violent crimes such as rape and assault are significantly lower than those found in the rest of the state, Fillmore has the highest murder rate in all of Utah. In fact, the murder rate in Fillmore is 44% higher than the rate for the entire United States. These dramatic crime statistics give Fillmore’s criminal justice system a unique dynamic. The criminal defense lawyers at Intermountain Legal have extensive experience defending cases in Fillmore. Because they have relationships with the judges and the prosecuting attorneys and because they understand how the criminal court system works in Fillmore, Utah, they can help you get the best possible outcome in your criminal case.

Although they work frequently in Fillmore and the rest of Millard County, the criminal defense attorneys at Intermountain Legal are based in Salt Lake City. This gives you the advantage of an attorney who is able to specialize exclusively in criminal defense. Local lawyers who work out of smaller towns like Fillmore frequently do not have the luxury of being able to specialize in one area of the law. Because they have a smaller pool from which to draw their clients, their law practice must be more general, not allowing them the time or the opportunity to become experts in any one area. At Intermountain Legal our criminal defense lawyers not only focus only on criminal defense, they are able to further specialize their practices to specific crimes such as DUI and Domestic Violence. When you speak with one of our criminal defense attorneys you can be confidant that they have all the knowledge and experience to answer your questions and help you successfully navigate the Fillmore criminal justice system.
