Fantastic Lawyer

I highly recommend Justin Pratt and his staff. He was highly knowledgeable, personable, professional, and kind. He took great care of me and treated me like a human being where others did not. He was transparent and realistic about my options and listened to me and my needs.

Wonderful experience working with Justin in a very stressful situation.

We were beyond pleased with the professional, pro-active, and supportive experience we had with Justin. We hired Justin to help our son with a legal issue in Logan. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, which gave us confidence and piece of mind. As our case had some specific nuances with... little precedent in Utah, Justin did his own research and read the information suggested by my son to make sure he was both fully prepared for any legal implications and to understand my son's reasons for involvement. Justin personally guided us through multiple court appearances. I really appreciated his willingness to be available to my son and us for questions and concerns as the process continued. Along the way, Justin was pro-active in working with the prosecutor which resulting in having some of the charges reduced and some dismissed. In the final court appearance for sentencing, Justin responded quickly to an unexpected comment from the judge and pressed just enough to reach a wonderful outcome.

Fantastic representation

I got myself into a bit of trouble and sought out the most reputable lawyer in Salt Lake City and his thorough and detailed attention can’t be overstated. I always felt that I was in safe hands through the entire process. This was my first time dealing with the court system and I don’t live in Utah s...o it was a pretty confusing situation. Justin was honest and forthright with all angles, from the what ifs and what could be to this is what will probably happen. He was right every step of the way and I can’t recommend his services enough.

Possession of Marijuana

The process was very smooth and Justin was helpful in making us feel comfortable. The consultation with him answered all of our questions from the start. He always kept us informed and updated with our case once we hired him on, I will definitely recommend Justin to others who encounter similar situa...tions to ours.
