Working with this lawyer was a great experience. We needed someone who could help us with a Utah case. Attorney Damian Sheets helped us reduce the charge and pay a very low fine. We are very happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend!

I was applying to med school when suddenly I was charged with some outrageous sex crimes. Everyone who knew me and the situation was blown away by what the police report said. It tried to make me sound like a monster and tried to misconstrue the situation into something that would convict me, regardless of the truth. I did my homework and found Attorney Sheets had defended a similar case so successfully that Nevada had to change the law. He wasn't the cheapest--he wasn't the most expensive either--but he was damn well worth every penny. He reduced my bail from $150,000 to $0 against Jim Sweeten, the chief prosecutor of the SVU. The prosecutors stacked the charges until I was facing a life sentence. Damian fought like hell, just like he said he would. He won the prosecutor to my side and got me probation; no jail time, no sex offender registry. I will be able to seal my record when this is all over and move on with my career goals. The case ruined my life as I knew it, but Damian salvaged what was left of it and gave me another chance. I don't know how many other attorneys out there could have done what he did. The court-appointed psychologist who did my psychosexual evaluation said she had never seen someone with my type of charges not go to prison or end up on the sex offender registry. Sure, the man can be a little hard to get ahold of, but so are most powerful, successful, and busy people. Attorney Sheets goes to court for something like thirty cases every day and manages hundreds of open cases. My case lasted about one year and over that time I grew to trust, respect, and admire Attorney Sheets for his brilliance, hard work, and dedication. He never steered me wrong, defended me ferociously, and was truly a zealous advocate, in every sense of the word. Needless to say, I highly recommend him.
