Intermountain Legal at 2159 S 700 E, Ste 240, Salt Lake City, UT 84106 provides specialized defense for DUI Metabolite cases in Utah. Their attorneys explain that while most DUIs involve alcohol or active drug impairment, Utah law uniquely prohibits driving with any trace of illegal drug metabolites in your system—even when you’re no longer under the influence. This means that metabolites, which can remain detectable for days or weeks after drug effects have worn off, can lead to DUI charges if found in blood tests. The firm emphasizes that these technical cases require scrutiny of police procedures, as officers must follow strict protocols for traffic stops, investigations, and blood sampling. Their defense strategy involves analyzing evidence for mistakes by inexperienced or careless officers, or constitutional rights violations by aggressive officers. The attorneys at Intermountain Legal work to challenge key evidence and build strong cases for clients facing these charges. For a free consultation about your DUI Metabolite case, call 801-970-2800.
