Brown, Bradshaw & Moffat

What Brown, Bradshaw & Moffat does

Brown, Bradshaw & Moffat is a Salt Lake City-based criminal defense law firm serving individuals charged with criminal offenses throughout Utah. Founded in 1998, the firm operates with seven attorneys whose combined experience exceeds 100 years, with senior partners James C. Bradshaw and Mark R. Moffat practicing since 1982 and 1987 respectively. The firm covers 19 distinct practice areas spanning the full spectrum of criminal defense, including DUIs, drug crimes, violent crimes, sex crimes, domestic violence, white collar offenses, federal crimes, juvenile matters, criminal appeals, expungements, asset forfeiture challenges, and cyberstalking.

The service offering is a traditional professional services model: hourly and case-based legal fees for trial representation, appeals, post-conviction relief, and consultations. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's distribution runs through a 24/7 phone line, an online intake form, and an SEO-optimized educational blog covering each practice area. Client acquisition is sales-led and inbound-driven, with prospective clients typically reaching out at the moment of arrest or charge, receiving a free initial case evaluation before engagement terms are set.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Geographic reach is statewide across Utah, with active coverage in Salt Lake County and other named counties including Davis, Utah, Weber, Cache, Box Elder, Carbon, Washington, and Beaver. The firm's economic position is supported by credentialed attorney access to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals CJA Appellate Panel, the Capital Qualified Defense Attorney Panel, and the Utah State Roster of Appellate Attorneys, which together function as regulatory gating mechanisms for high-stakes federal and capital case work.
