Personal Injury & Wrongful Death 

Anderson & Rogers’ attorneys have extensive experience in representing individuals who have been injured or have lost loved ones due to: automobile accidents, semi-truck accidents, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and from defective products.   The firm has also successfully litigated numerous cases against negligent contractors and their insurance companies for damages caused by fires, floods and other means.  Our attorneys understand the pain and difficulty that individuals and their loved ones go through after suffering an injury or loss, and are willing and able to step in and take the burden off of their shoulders and deal one-on-one with the insurance companies.  Although the firm aggressively represents its clients’ interests in all matters, the firm’s attorneys understand the delicate situation that exists in injury matters, and they treat all people involved with respect and courtesy, including the individuals whose negligence caused harm to the firm’s clients.  Most cases are brought to a successful resolution through negotiation, litigation, mediation, or arbitration, and with damages paid by the opposing parties’ insurance company instead of the opposing parties themselves.  If a case does need to be taken to trial, Anderson & Rogers’ attorneys have the experience and knowledge necessary to win even the most complex injury cases.

Anderson & Rogers offers free initial consultations in all personal injury and wrongful death cases, and it does not require its clients to pay any fee unless and until there is a recovery in the case.  The firm’s attorneys will visit with clients at their home or hospital if coming to its offices is difficult for clients.

Criminal Defense

Attorney Brett C. Anderson handles the firm’s criminal defense matters.  Mr. Anderson worked as a prosecutor in the State of Utah for a number of years before he began representing clients in criminal defense matters nearly a decade ago.  Mr. Anderson’s experience as a prosecutor provided him with the opportunity to work one-on-one with many police officers.  He is familiar with the mistakes that police officers often make in stops, searches, seizures, arrests and charges, and he aggressively represents his clients’ interests in providing experienced and knowledgeable representation.  Mr. Anderson has represented hundreds of clients in criminal defense matters in most courts in the State of Utah, including the Utah Court of Appeals, where he recently won a decision where the trial court’s dismissal of a high profile case was upheld against a Utah County City.  Mr. Anderson has extensive experience in serious felony and misdemeanor cases including: Drug Possession and Distribution, DUI/DWI, Assault, Burglary, Theft, Sex Crimes, and most other felonies and misdemeanors.  Mr. Anderson has the reputation of taking matters to trial when offers from prosecutors are unfair or are unsatisfactory to his clients.  He has won numerous jury trials for his clients, and has had many cases dismissed by judges without even requiring a trial.  The firm offers free initial consultations on criminal defense matters, and has payment options  for clients.

We assist clients in all types of adoptions, including stepparent adoptions.  We understand that each case is different and as such we are prepared to meet the needs of each individual client and their respective case.
