ABOUT Mitch Vilos

Criminal Lawyer

James D. “Mitch” Vilos is a graduate of Utah State University and the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. He has been in practice since 1978, practicing in both Utah and Alabama. Mr. Vilos’ law practice focuses on primarily two areas of law, representing accident victims and handling criminal cases involving self-defense and weapons charges.
