Great experience

Obviously no one ever wants to find themselves in legal trouble but when it unexpectedly happens to you, you’ll want the best representation you can find. Jason is an excellent lawyer who looked at all aspects of my case to get me the best possible outcome. I was so nervous at the beginning of this m...ess since it was my first (and last) time getting caught up. Jason and his paralegal, Nicolle, both calmed me down and helped me feel confident about the situation. Throughout the whole process I was clearly informed on everything I needed to be. I’m very thankful that there was no conviction and by the end of my probation the charges will be dismissed. I would recommended Jason to anyone who’s in need of a great lawyer in Utah. Thanks again

Charged too much for a public defender result.

I went to this lawyer for 2 cases. My situation was difficult I was under so much stress. I caught another case and being in my situation I went with him. I later find out that he never went to court and what i paid for everyone else charges 75% less than him. I got a standard deal that i would have ...gotten without him both cases costed as much as as four cases from any other lawyer. For what i paid i can only say predatory. I should have gone by myself so I could see what was going on. I found out why I didn't go to court. It's because he didnt did everything by mail. And didnt even catch mistakes that first 2 minutes the lawyer I talked to caught. I feel misrepresented and treated like fast food. I'm so disappointed and feel I've been taken advantage of. I have advice from his paralegal and the other source I asked (a lawyer) their advice was completely the same and his was not I wouldn't put my trust in this lawyer at all. Totally taken to the cleaners on pricing. Sum it all up, I paid down Perrin money for brown label beer. If you have this kind of money have at it but too expensive for the result I got. Shop other lawyers his pricing is unfair and predatory.

Timothy, I'm sorry you feel that way. However, to set the record straight I made 2 court appearances on your behalf at which I was able to get you excused from appearing for your convenience. Before you retained me we discussed what we new about the case at that time and the nature of the charges you were facing (felony possession of controlled substance with intent to distribute) and I quoted you a fee consistent with the fee I charge to represent a Defendant on that nature of felony offense. No promises of a dismissal were made and you agreed to the fee for representation and engaged me to represent you. I obtained all the necessary discovery, evaluated it carefully and reviewed it with you. I negotiated a pela deal involving the reduction of the felony to a misdemeanor and you agreed the plea agreement was fair and reasonable based on the facts and evidence in your case and you chose to accept the plea offer. As do most of the people I represent I know that you had hoped that we would find a way to get your case dismissed but unfortunately that does not always happen. I wish you the best in the future. Jason

Not cheap, but you don't want cheap

Recommended to me by a bail bondsman when I got in a jam. Pretty much gave me the straight skinny, that I was looking at jail time given my charge. From the beginning, he gave me a course of action to pursue while he went to work on my defense. Utah's courts can never be accused of being a "rocket do...cket" but Jason was there whenever a new appearance was required. He managed to get the prosecutor to knock the charge down from 2nd degree felony [ 1-15 years] to 3rd degree felony [0-5 years], for which we took a plea deal. At sentencing, the prosecutor actually spoke in my behalf about my pro-active efforts [recommended by Jason] to correct my problem and after Jason's closing, the judge gave me a suspended sentence, 3 years probation, psychological help [already begun] and no electronic monitoring and no fine. It wasn't cheap by any means, but when one is initially looking at 1-15, pretty much a minimal investment to secure your freedom. Definitely 2 thumbs up on his skills, and this was not a DUI case, which is his specialty.

DUI

Jason Schatz took my case and handled every bit of it! He did amazing and dig into the facts until he found what he needed to have the charges dropped. I must highly recommend this firm! Not just him, but the whole team provided the upmost experience.

If you want the best, call Jason

My DUI case was dismissed! This was only possible because of Jason's expertise in the administration of the field sobriety test. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and professional. His office staff was friendly and supportive. When asking around, his name came up multiple times. I am completely satis...fied with my decision to hire him as my attorney.
