About Stephen

I grew up locally in Utah County. After graduating from Utah Valley State College, in 2002, I attended Law School in San Diego, California at California Western School of Law. I choose California Western because of the criminal justice emphasis which the school offers.  While in San Diego I worked for the California Innocence Project for Southern California. The Innocence Project is a nationwide organization that works to free the wrongly convicted and incarcerated. Many inmates are freed through DNA evidence.  After working at the Innocence Project I went to the Office of the Alternate Public Defender for San Diego County. There I worked with expert and seasoned attorneys and learned a great deal about criminal representation. I was able to represent and work on many client cases from simple school truancy to serious felonies, including drugs, DUI and DWI, theft, forgery, assault, gang related crimes, sex cases, murder, homicides, and capital cases. At that time I experienced big city crimes and the way they were handled by the police, detectives, prosecutors, judges, juries, the public, the media, and most important defense attorneys.  I moved from California back to Utah in 2005. I immediately started work at the Utah County Public Defenders Association. I worked again with many gifted attorneys on felony and misdemeanor trials, suppression motions, search warrants, police checkpoints, preliminary hearings, sentencing, and other criminal cases.  I joined Esplin/Weight in 2007 doing primarily Criminal Defense Work.
 When representing a client, my objective is to give the best possible representation through my knowledge and skill, which will, in turn, insure our constitutional rights are upheld and not violated by any government agency or individual.
