Why hire Richard Gale? I've defended and had successful resolutions or victories in over 10,000 felony cases. With over 30 years of successful legal experience, I work tirelessly to develop a strong, proven case strategy and I'd rather go to trial than settle. I am the former President of the Utah Association of Criminal Lawyers and I firmly believe that if you have been charged you should not have to sacrifice your entire life because of one mistake. When your liberty is at stake, we are the best decision you can make.

Pawelek & Gale Attorneys at Law
Prior to opening up his own practice in 2011, Richard Gale worked at the Utah County Public Defenders Association for 11 years where he served as Assistant Director from 2004 to 2010. He always preferred to have a jury trial rather than convince his client to accept a bad plea bargain. During his time as a public defender Richard represented clients in jury trials involving charges of homicide, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, forgery, distribution of controlled substances, identity fraud, felony DUI, and many other charges. Richard was able to obtain not guilty verdicts in many of these jury trials.
