DUI Defense
Attorney Jaime E. Wiley has completed extensive, specialized training in DUI investigation and defense. In 2022, Ms. Wiley completed the DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Student Course with La Pier & Associates. She received the same instruction provided to law enforcement in identifying psychophysical and clinical indicators of alcohol impairment. Through this training, Jaime practiced and mastered the proper administration, scoring, and interpretation of the standardized tests used nationwide by officers, including Horizontal and Vertical Gaze Nystagmus, the Nine-Step Walk and Turn, and the One-Leg Stand.
In 2023, Jaime completed the NHTSA Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) course through the National College for DUI Defense. This training provided the same education given to officers in recognizing signs and symptoms of drug impairment. Jaime gained advanced proficiency in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of specialized assessments such as the Modified Romberg Balance, Finger-to-Nose, and Lack of Convergence tests, procedures used by specially trained officers throughout the country to evaluate suspected drug impairment.
As a member of the NCDD, Jaime continues to attend annual, cutting-edge trainings on DUI science, forensic evidence, field testing, and evolving legal challenges, ensuring her defense strategies remain exceptionally current and highly effective.
This advanced training directly informs Jaime’s ability to challenge and dismantle the prosecution’s evidence. By understanding DUI testing with the same depth as the officers administering it, Jaime is uniquely skilled at identifying improper scoring, protocol violations, flawed administration, unreliable observations, and scientific weaknesses. This level of expertise has contributed to a strong record of suppression victories, evidence exclusion, and full case dismissals, particularly where law enforcement failed to meet required standards or where probable cause for arrest was insufficient.
Her training allows her to expose errors that many attorneys overlook, transforming technical details into powerful legal challenges that drive favorable outcomes for her clients.
Evidence Suppression
A significant portion of Jaime’s practice is dedicated to meticulous evidence review and strategic pretrial motion work, areas in which she has earned a reputation for uncovering issues that many attorneys miss. Jaime approaches every case with a deep commitment to constitutional rights, examining evidence from the broadest Fourth Amendment concerns all the way down to the most technical procedural flaws in evidence collection, handling, and testing.
Jaime holds a high success rate in suppression and dismissal motions, the result of her rigorous approach to identifying constitutional and evidentiary defects. Examples of issues she has successfully challenged include:
Illegal inventory searches of vehicles, resulting in the suppression of key evidence
Suppression of intoxilyzer results due to improper calibration, expired certifications, or noncompliant testing procedures
Miranda violations, including improper advisements and unlawful interrogation tactics
Unlawful stops, including those lacking reasonable suspicion or illegal extension.
Searches conducted without valid consent, or where consent was coerced or unclear
Jaime’s commitment to staying at the forefront of legal challenges is ongoing. As a member of the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (UACDL), she participates in annual specialized trainings taught by leading experts in constitutional law, forensic science, evidence suppression, and police procedure. These trainings ensure she remains prepared to identify emerging defenses, novel suppression arguments, and cutting-edge forensic issues that can significantly alter the outcome of a case.
Sentencing Mitigation
Before becoming an attorney, Jaime spent years working directly in mental health services, including substance abuse rehabilitation, crisis intervention, trauma-informed support, and resource facilitation. This experience gave her a deep, practical understanding of the clinical, psychological, and social factors that often intersect with criminal charges.
Unlike many attorneys who only encounter these systems from the courtroom side, Jaime has worked inside them, collaborating with clinicians, case managers, treatment teams, and community organizations. She has an intimate professional understanding of how these programs operate, what courts value, and how clients can achieve genuine, sustainable progress.
Because of this background, Jaime has maintained ongoing relationships with numerous resources throughout the state. She has knowledge of and access to options and interventions that many attorneys are not familiar with or do not take the time to explore. This allows her to create individualized mitigation plans far beyond the generic recommendations often seen in criminal cases. From the very beginning of a case, Jaime takes proactive steps to help clients connect to these resources and engage in programs that will assist in defending the client’s freedom later.
By guiding her clients into meaningful programs early on, Jaime ensures their efforts are not last-minute or symbolic; they are real, sustained, and supported. When negotiations begin, she is able to show months of treatment attendance, stability, and personal growth backed by professional documentation. This depth of preparation gives her clients a significant advantage at the negotiation table and at sentencing, often leading to outcomes far more lenient than what would typically be offered in similar cases.
