My name is Catherine Cleveland. As a former judge and a Salt Lake City criminal defense lawyer, I represent clients accused of serious felonies in Utah State, Federal, and Juvenile Courts.. A large part of my practice is devoted to representing both juveniles and adults accused of committing a sex offense. Being charged with a sex crime is serious and the penalties are harsh. For example, offenders found guilty of a first-degree felony sex crime are facing a sentence of 15 years to life in prison and being placed on the lifetime sex offender registry. Offenders may be prosecuted under federal or state law (or both).. I use 20 years of experience as a lawyer to achieve extremely favorable results for my clients. Over the years, I have seen thousands of criminal defense cases handled in Utah Courts, so I know what results others have received in situations like yours.. I have an in-depth knowledge of local Courts and procedures to help you understand what to expect. I can then work with you to develop an effective criminal defense strategy designed to achieve the best possible results in negotiations with prosecutors or at trial.. I will aggressively fight for you with any criminal charge you are accused of to obtain the best possible outcome.
