Scientific Evidence Education

He has completed multiple advanced courses in scientific evidence through programs taught by the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the National College for DUI Defense, helping him stay current on the latest DUI defense strategies, forensic science, and legal developments.

National DUI Defense Leadership

Glen Neeley is a member of the National College for DUI Defense and has served as a faculty member presenting at national seminars on DUI defense topics.

He dedicates more than 40 hours each month researching:

  • DUI case law
  • Scientific literature
  • Legal treatises
  • Breath and blood testing issues
  • Emerging DUI defense strategies

This ongoing research helps ensure his clients receive a defense based on the most current legal and scientific developments available.

Trial & Appellate Experience

Glen Neeley prepares every case as if it may go to trial.

His defense approach often includes:

  • Extensive pre-trial motions
  • Cross-examination of prosecution witnesses
  • Expert witness testimony
  • Demonstrative evidence and video analysis
  • Independent investigation
  • Scientific challenges to intoxilyzer and chemical test evidence

He has successfully handled cases before the Utah Court of Appeals, including a case where the court affirmed dismissal after he successfully argued there was insufficient evidence to establish probable cause that his client was impaired. The prosecution sought review from the Utah Supreme Court, which declined to hear the appeal.

He is known for challenging every aspect of the government’s case and building strong defenses through preparation, investigation, and courtroom advocacy.

Every detail matters when your freedom, license, career, and reputation are at stake.
