Wasatch Advocates provides a full range of legal services to the criminally accused and consumers who face overbearing pressure from big banks and mortgage lenders.

FORECLOSURE DEFENSE: A recent front-page Salt Lake Tribune article identified Salt Lake County as the number one county in the country in terms of growth in foreclosure-related filings. The housing downturn came late to Utah, but it is now impacting thousands of responsible homeowners, who are threatened with the loss of their most cherished possession – their homes.  Wasatch Advocates utilizes a unique strategy to fight the banks and mortgage companies, forcing them to offer loan modifications at flat, fixed rates, oftentimes with reductions in the loan principal.  Additionally, we can arrange short-sales on terms that benefit the homeowner.  Lastly, mortgage servicers are oftentimes liable for money damages for the fraud they commit against borrowers who have applied for Obama’s Making Home Affordable program.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE: We defend citizens accused of DUI, drug possession, domestic violence, sex crimes, and traffic offenses.  We also defend any driver’s license suspension action that may accompany your criminal charge.  When we take a case, we plan to go to trial to prove your innocence.  We pride ourselves on maintaining an open line of communication with our clients throughout the process – providing copies of evidence, pleadings, memoranda, and any other type of information arising from your case.  After all, part of our job is to inform those accused of crimes of their constitutionally protected rights and how best to exercise them.

CONSUMER DEFENSE: The downturn in the economy has had another serious impact on consumers: combined with escalating mortgage rates, increasing unemployment, and the lack of affordable health care, many citizens are finding that they can no longer afford to pay their bills and credit cards.  Wasatch Advocates offers affordable, flat-fee Ch. 7 and Ch. 13 bankruptcy services.  We will walk you through the entire process and counsel you regarding your non-bankruptcy options, including negotiating a settlement of your debts.  If you choose to file, we make it quick and easy, automatically entering the debt from your credit reports into your bankruptcy petition.  We will stop creditor harassment and give you the fresh start you have been waiting for.

We offer free consultations for all of our services.  We charge affordable, flat-fees for our services and we allow payment arrangements for those who cannot afford to pay the entire fee up-front.
