Do yourself a favor and just call them... They are the help you need.
I secured Jason for a flat fee on a DUI charge, while his firm was more expensive than others I spoke to, I felt confident that Jason was the right person to represent my case.

Out of State DUI Defense
I hired Jason after I was arrested on a DUI in Utah but lived on the East Coast. I never met him face to face, but every interaction I had with him, whether email or phone call, was professional, purposeful, and informative. Despite the circumstances, he did not give up on the chance that I would be ...
"Jason Schatz is "hands-down" the best DUI lawyer in the State of Utah. This type of case requires a defense attorney who specializes in DUI cases. Jason knows more than the police officers who have been trained and handled DUI cases for years. He has put himself through rigorous training in the field sobriety tests, knows the the intoxilyzer machine inside and out and is an expert in running motions to suppress in order to get evidence tossed in DUI cases, At trial, Jason will not leave one stone unturned. Jason is also generous with his time and knowledge. I handle very few DUI cases. Once in a while, I will represent a friend or friend's child free of charge in a DUI case. Jason is the first person I call. He takes the time to help not only myself, but other defense lawyers in the community to grasp the intricacies of a DUI case. We all have a copy of his book on how to defend a DUI case on our shelves. He is the Michael Jordan of DUI defense. Jason simply rocks!"
"Mr. Schatz is a brilliant and aggressive attorney with an impeccable reputation among his peers. His knowledge of DUI law is boundless and he serves his clients and fellow attorneys well. I would recommend him to anybody who asked. Jonathan Nish Morgan, Nish & Associates"
"Jason Schatz is an excellent attorney. He is an expert in all aspects of DUI and criminal defense. There is no other lawyer in Utah with the expertise and background in breath testing, blood testing, and field sobriety tests. He has earned the reputation of being one of the best attorneys in Utah from judges, prosecutor’s, police officers and other attorneys. You can’t go wrong in hiring Jason."
"Jason is very passionate about what he does. I recall 11 years ago him contacting me wanting to go to lunch to discuss how he can become the best DUI attorney around. That was 11 years ago and he is certainly now one of the best in Utah: he has published a book on Utah DUIs and is a regular contributor to the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Attorney's listserv, an association with over 500 members. We thank Jason for his contributions and willingness to share his thoughts with us on how to better defend DUIs. Keep up the great work Jason!"
"Jason is an authority on DUI defense in Utah. He is also excellent in general criminal defense matters. I have observed Jason in court dozens of times and incorporated some of his techniques into my own practice."
"Jason is a brilliant DUI and Criminal defense attorney. I have seen him in court and listened to him speak at attorney lectures. If I got a DUI, I would hire Jason."
"Jason is a genius when it comes to DUI defense. He knows everything there is to know about the topic and is not afraid to use his knowledge to go to battle with prosecutors. I learned a lot by prosecuting cases that he defended. He does an excellent job for his clients and is a tremendous lawyer."
