Jason provides the best DUI defense in Utah.

I talked to several lawyers before I decided Jason was the best option to handle my dui. I was impressed with Jason immediately because he was honest with me, he let me know that my case would not be easy and I would have to do some work on my end to help the case. I blew double the legal limit a...nd was pulled over by a UHP officer who has specialized training on handling DUIs, so Jason had his work cut out for him. The two outcomes I wanted the most were a reduced sentence and to not serve jail time. It took about 7 months to complete my case but Jason delivered on reducing my DUI to an impaired driving as well as keeping me out of jail. 5 months into my probation I made the idiotic decision to violate. I hired Jason again to represent my probation violation and he convinced the judge to dismiss my violation completely. Jason may not be the cheapest lawyer but I can promise you that you will get what you pay for. I would recommend Jason to anyone who needs solid representation on their case. He takes his cases very seriously and will fight for you the entire way.

Best DUI Lawyer in Utah

I first heard of Jason Schatz when a friend of mine was arrested for DUI. I believe it was not his first offense, and I was impressed with Jason's ability to achieve a fair outcome for him under less than ideal circumstances. In addition, my friend told me that Jason was contesting many of his clie...nt's breathalyzer results due to a common problem with the machines. I am also a lawyer, and was impressed by the fact that Jason was really going the extra mile for his clients. So when my husband was arrested for DUI years later, we called Jason. Jason was able to prevent my husband from losing his license with the DL division, and also worked out a deal with the prosecutor that essentially led to the dismissal of all charges. Of course, there were circumstances in my husband's particular case that made this possible. Even the best lawyer cannot work miracles. But if there is any weakness in the State's case, you can be sure that Jason will find it and exploit it in your favor. He is not the cheapest DUI lawyer in town, but worth every penny, in my opinion.

Highland, UT DUI

Jason was really personable. I like that he called me himself at first and not just his paralegal. I talked to another lawyer who was only interested in getting my DUI charges knocked down to impairment, that lawyer's paralegal seemed more fired up about my case than that lawyer. Jason was clear that... he wanted to get my case dismissed if he could, which showed that he had faith and believed in my side of the story. Jason didn't take up a lot of my time and didn't expect me to write a 20 page essay. I also like the fact that he didn't spend time telling me everything I did wrong during my exchange with the police. He took the case as it was and went from there. He knew which questions to ask me to help him build a solid defense which wound up getting the charges dismissed without prejudice. You get what you pay for with Jason.

The attorney you need to have in your corner...

For anyone charged with a DUI, Jason needs to be your first and only visit. Jason has a true knowledge and knows the inner workings of all the laws associated with DUI's/DWI's. The moment you meet him you can tell you are in the best hands possible for the situation you will be facing. He starts the ...process immediately and gains access to any info that is out there surrounding your case. He takes care of all the paper work, filing, court dates, etc. He keeps you constantly informed so you are never left guessing what is going on with your case and he is accessible and will answer any questions you have and never makes you wait for those answers. He treats you as though your case is the most important case he has and it makes you feel relieved that someone puts that much energy into your cause and that he truly understands how important the outcome is to you personally. Jason took my case in which they had video footage that would have automatically made any other attorney tell me it was a losing battle but Jason fought so hard that I ended up with a plea where I received nothing more than a small fine and a couple of classes that teach alcohol responsibility. Speaking as a person where this was the first time I ever had to deal with any of this, it can be overwhelming and confusing and you truly need Jason in your corner right from the beginning.

Second to none

If you are needing a DUI attorney, I highly recommend Jason Schatz. I know the terrifying feeling of being charged with a DUI. It can be one of the most vulnerable and unsettling places to be. There was nothing Jason didn't know or understand. The prosecutors had a strong case against me... I figured... there was no way to have my charges dropped or reduced. From day one, Jason plunged into my case and dissected every piece of evidence regarding it. I had complete confidence in him. I was facing jail time, community service, interlock device, probation etc. My offense was reduced with very little retribution... a fine and community service. Seriously, if you are needing a DUI defense attorney look no further than Jason Schatz. I'm so glad to have this all behind me. Thanks Jason!
