Spanish Fork Criminal Defense Lawyer–Jake Gunter. Nearly 20 years experience defending people accused of crimes. Hiring a Utah County defense lawyer helps. TXT (801) 373-6345.
Utah County Criminal Defense Attorney Jake Gunter has been practicing law for nearly 20 years. His entire legal practice is devoted to courtroom trial work. When the stakes are high, actual jury trial experience matters. Hiring an attorney who has been in a courtroom over 1,000+ times gives you the advantage. Jake didn’t get this courtroom experience as a prosecutor where most attorneys get their experience. He got his experience on the defense, which is an entirely different perspective; a harder experience; one more difficult to achieve.
Having a local Utah County criminal defense attorney is helpful because knowing the parties involved matters. Relationships with judges, prosecutors, court clerks, and police are important to getting the best representation.
Attorney Jake Gunter is located at the Delphi Building in Provo, Utah. His law firm has been around since 1950. Jake is not a solo practitioner working off of his cell phone in a car, but has a full staff available to help with the defense.
