I have been practicing law since 1993, in pratically all areas from divorce and paternity, modifications, criminal defense, personal injury, probate, general civil litigation, and the llke.  As a young  lawyer, I started out taking any case that would get me in front of a jury.  I knew I wanted to be a trial lawyer.  I wanted to be comfortable in the court room.  So, I tried all manner of criminal cases, civil contract cases, and personal injury cases.  I started my law practice in Maine.  After 10 years, I had twin daughters and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.  Since that time, my practice has focused on divorce, paternity and family law, and some criminal and civil law.  I now have a son as well.  My husband and I live with our three children and three dogs in Park City, Utah. We love to ski, hike, play baseball, softball, soccer, and any other sport that involves the outdoors.  I have my own practice now, having practiced in small firms to large firms over the years.  I find my joy in my family, and in helping my clients through some of the worst times of their life.  The best part is the fact that they move through a process,  and hopfully, at the end, continue to move forward in a more positive way.  I have watched a spouse, mother or father, collapesed by divorce or separation, find love again, connect with their children again, and find their own joy again.  I am grateful for those clients that stay in touch with me so I can share in their happiness.

Edwin Wall

Firm: Wall Law Offices
405 Judge Building , Salt Lake City , Utah 84111
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I aggressively defend my clients.  I have over 25 years of experience in the state and federal courts and developed an extensive criminal defense practice.  I worked with the Western Trial Advocacy Institute and has tried numerous federal and state felony and misdemeanor cases. I have also been active in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Utah Appellate Courts.. I attended the University of Wyoming College of Law after obtaining bachelor degrees in Physics, Materials Science and Engineering and Political Science at the University of Utah. While at the University of Wyoming I was active in the Potter Law Club and became director of the Prosecution Assistance Program.. Following law school, I clerked for the Ninth Judicial District Court for the State of Wyoming. He then became a deputy prosecuting attorney in Fremont County, Wyoming. He handled cases involving felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile court and competency hearings, taking a fair number of them to trial.. I have conducted hundreds of trails in my carrier, including cases where my clients have been accused of: Muder, RICO, White Collar, Fraud, Forgery, Possession and Ditribution of Controlled Substances, DUI, Child Abuse, Illegal Possession of Firearms, Bank Robbery, Aggravated Kidnaping, Aggravated Assault, and much more.. I like the challenge that comes with defendant someone accused of an offense.  I like to think of my clients as Federal Three-Percenters or State Five-Percenters.  Righly 97% of the people charged federally get convicted and face possible prision and only 3% go home.  Roughly 95% of the people charged in the state system get convicted and face possible prision and only 5% go home.  There is no guarnatee as to how any case will come out, but I fight hard to protect my clients and want every one of them to get the change to go home, be with their families and enjoy their life.

In addition to my legal practice, I am also actively involved in the Women’s Law Caucus and serve on the Character and Fitness Committee for the Utah State Bar.  I enjoy speaking to groups and writing articles about topics that are relevant to the personal injury practice area.  I am also an avid cyclist and runner and enjoy scuba-diving and traveling with my family.. As a cyclist, I am particularly interested in helping fellow cyclists when they are injured.  My firm has represented many cyclists whose injuries have arisen from a variety of causes including failed tires and other defective bicycle parts as well as drivers who have carelessly crashed into cyclists causing serious injury and in some cases death.  We are very aware of the safety concerns that face cyclists in the Salt Lake valley and enjoy advocating for and representing cyclists in a variety of capacities.
