Top Best Criminal Defense Lawyers | 14601 Available

As a criminal defense lawyer, I am committed to listening to my clients to learn who they are and what their story is all about. Learning my client's story is how I can best educate judges, prosecutors, juries, and the media.. There are many criminal defense lawyers, but far fewer lawyers who routinely put cases before a jury. From July of 2021 to June of 2024, I was lead counsel on eight jury trials, including three homicide cases and three sexual assault cases. In seven of these eight trials, my clients were found not guilty of every single charge put before their jury. In the eighth case, my client was found not guilty of homicide, but guilty of drug distribution.. I have worked hard to develop a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to my work, taking into account the many factors that contribute to a situation where someone finds themselves accused of a crime. A client's future is critically important to me and I will go to extreme lengths within the confines of the law and my ethical duties to assist each client.. I am licensed to practice law in both Kansas and in Missouri.

I am a smart attorney.  I do the reading and the research for every case.  I look for resolution before confrontation.  My client and I map out the case strategy together.. Clients often look for aggressive defense attorneys - and this is an important quality.  (I put it in my website URL!)  But aggression without an intelligent plan just leads to trouble..

Clay A. Alger is a partner at Shumway Van’s Salt Lake City office. Mr. Alger graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. After graduation he attended the University of Utah’s, S.J Quinney College of Law where he graduated with high honors and received his Juris Doctorate. While attending law school, Mr. Alger served on the Utah Law Review as a senior staff member. During that same time Mr. Alger published an article in that same publication that discussed Utah’s Highway Dedication Doctrine and matters relating to public prescriptive easements. Mr. Alger also earned the CALI Excellence for the Future Award in Administrative Law, an award that is granted to the highest scoring individual at a particular law school. He then proceeded to earn the S.J Quinney College of Law Outstanding Achievement Award in regards to Property Law; this award is reserved for the most apt and able law student for a specific semester.. Following these achievements, before graduation and prior to joining Shumway Van’s Salt Lake City law firm, Mr. Alger gained significant experience as a law clerk for the Litigation Division of the Utah Attorney General’s Office. Upon his admittance to the Utah State Bar, Mr. Alger began his own private practice in Salt Lake City, Utah where he practiced primarily criminal defense and family law. While operating his solo practice, Mr. Alger gained applicable experience and developed a reputation for being one of Salt Lake City’s most thorough and affable Utah attorneys.. Mr. Alger’s philosophy for law can be summed up easily, “I am committed to helping clients navigate the legal system efficiently and effectively. Client involvement is important to me; I consider the attorney-client relationship a collaboration to achieve a desired goal. My goal is to provide high quality legal services at a reasonable and competitive rate. Many attorneys encourage unnecessary litigation so that they can excessively bill their clients. That philosophy is counterproductive in my opinion. I prefer to work towards a resolution that is best for the client, whether that means resolving a case early and amicably, or pursuing litigation aggressively if needed.”. Mr. Alger's practice is currently focused on immigration law, an area with which he has extensive experience. Mr. Alger also has experience with criminal defense and civil litigation and continues to practice in those areas. Mr. Alger has continued to passionately and firmly pursue the ever-evolving world of law, so that he may accurately and effectively serve each of his clients in the best manner possible. Since joining Shumway Van Mr. Alger has obtained immense experience in immigration law and has represented multiple clients before several legal bodies including USCIS, immigration court (EOIR), the Board of Immigration Appeals, and other state and federal courts. In addition, his ability to speak and write fluently in Portuguese has expanded Shumway Van’s Salt Lake City law firm and allowed the opportunity to serve more clients in their pursuit of justice. His constant dedication to Shumway Van, and his accomplishment in becoming a lawyer Utah residents can have trust in, has made him a valuable and respected attorney at our firm.. In Clay’s spare time, you can find him playing on the guitar, hiking through the trails of Utah and above all, spending time with his wife and their three daughters.

Admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, 5th and 11th Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal and all Federal District Courts in La. I coudn't have been as successful as I have been without many satisfied clients.  Unfortunately, in the area of child custody, on occasion, we will get some people who are unhappy.

I became a criminal defense attorney because I am intimately familiar with how precious our constitutional rights are. After my arrest years ago, I realized how close I was to being in a situation that could have negatively impacted my life forever. That situation made me realize how important it is to have someone on your side who feels strongly about protecting those rights.. In the Air Force, I put my life on the line to support and defend the Constitution during war. Today, I support and defend the Constitution in the courtroom. My legal career began by representing indigent clients. I saw first-hand how important it is for everyone to have legal representation. This is why I make every effort to make my services available to as many people as possible.
