Incredible group. Highly professional. They took the time to listen to me, and my case then got the job done in a manner that I could not even imagine. I talked with a number of lawyers in the past, but these guys really listen and help out.

Paul Johnson Attorney at Law
A gentleman, who’s energy fills a room with light, his passion/combined with knowledge far beyond the range expected, that ones scope would encompass as an Attorney at Law. In the event the need for counsel blindsides you, as the Law did in my situation. In the event you need legal counsel. ”Hands Down, Bar to None” Legal Counsel/Wasatch Attorney’s Paul Johnson is the Real Deal!! He has a very amazing and rare quality amongst people these days it’s his PASSION!
His passion fuels that engine in his mind, Genuinely this man is intelligent, understanding, compassionate. He handled everything perfectly and restored my faith in the justice system. That faith had been broken for years. The cycle stopped. Thank you Paul ! There team has very reasonable pricing. I would recommend him to anyone who’s certainly in it to win it! God Bless

look no further than the Wasatch Defense team! they took my case from start to finish and got the exact result I was hoping for. Craig and Lane will do everything it takes to get the results. Very affordable with out compromising the quality and knowledge you expect. I contacted countless attorneys, but after meeting with Craig and Lane it was a very easy choice to make. Look no further and hire these guys!! CASE DISMISSED! Thank you Wasatch Defense Lawyers!

These guys are great. I had some criminal charges arise from a bar fight. I was defending a friend, but nevertheless charges were filed against me. Luckily Wasatch Defense Lawyers were able to help me out. I was arraigned and these guys took care of everything for me. If you ever find yourself in trouble then I would highly recommend Wasatch Defense Lawyers. Craig is an outstanding lawyer with exceptional professionalism. Cowboy boots are cool too. Anyway, thank you again guys for doing such an awesome job.

Lane and Craig make a great team. I was in a bit of trouble and they not only got back to me really quickly but they made all of my troubles disappear. Lane made himself available at any time so I could reach out to him and discuss my case. If you need criminal defense, Wasatch defense lawyers are a godsend. No one can predict random life events happening that result in criminal charges, but I can guarantee there's no one better to have on your side than these guys. Thank you again. You guys saved me.

I called on behalf of my son and was immediately connected with a paralegal named Lane. He immediately understood the issue and was able to resolve it within minutes. I was impressed with the knowledge and professionalism that was displayed. Thank you doesn't begin to express my gratitude for an amazing job. I would feel good recommending you to anyone who needs assistance!

The Wasatch Defense Team is exceptional and professional. I was in a pinch and they were able to help clear my case completely within 48 hours. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing criminal defense. Craig Chlarson really knows what he is doing and kicked butt in my case. I was sweating bullets, but he completely eliminated all of my stress. These guys are worth every penny.

I am beyond dissatisfied with the piss poor "representation" I received by Craig. The only interaction I had was when he took my money. After the contract was signed, and two separate pressing matters needing attention, that I had wrote a several page narrative for outlining the details. It was ignored. I was constantly attempting to contact and meet with Lane who acted like it was the first time we were discussing the information in the narritive, took other calls and walked in and out of scheduled appointments. He didn't answer emails or return phone calls either. In two weeks, we didn't really discuss anything substantive. He was constantly distracted.

He suddenly began renegotiating focus that we had discussed in our initial meeting. Made it sound like the agreed upon amount in the contract was arbitrary and that I was unable to speak to the lawyer directly. I had an interview with law enforcement regarding a potentially serious charge that could cost me my home and freedom and he wanted me to talk with him on the way there, giving me maybe 5 or so minutes to prepare, never having been in this situation prior. That is about the attention to detail you'd expect from a swamped public defendered who doesn't have a "paralegal" who when I mentioned I really wanted to speak directly to the attorney said " we just can't accommodate you as a client." After having a contract with me for 2 weeks. It is going to reflect poorly on my case due to their inability to give my matters the attention to detail they deserve. I'm a veteran on disability and hiring attorneys isn't cheap. There is no plausible way their rating can be 4.9.

TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, THEY EXPECT ME TO COME IN AFTER 6 TO PICK UP A *CHECK* INSTEAD OF REFUNDING THE AMOUNT TO MY CARD KNOWING PART OF MY CASE INVOLVES MY CAR BEING STOLEN!!!

I called and spoke with Lane Clark about concerns I had reguarding some possible legal issues concerning accusations with my son. Lane is awesome and was very helpful and answered any and every question I had and made myself feel a lot better. He was even willing to meet with me and my son on a Saturday or Sunday which doesn’t happen very often or if at all, which shows me how much care and concern they have for their clients. I highly recommend Wasatch Defense Laywers, and definitely will be contacting them if I ever need help with any legal matters.

These guys had my back from day 1! Super professional, doing their due dilligence to keep me up to date with what was happening with my case every step of the way.

I would recommend these guys 10/10 times for anyone who finds themselves in legal trouble, complete class acts!

This firm has been fantastic since day one, my family and I were struggling a lot trying to comprehend everything that was going on with our case but these great defense lawyers helped us out greatly. They know what they are doing and they are great at resolving cases with the best outcome that they can possible can. They also try to accommodate people, my father do not understand English well and they had someone that could translate for him. I would recommend them to anyone.

I don't even know where to start. From finding this company on the internet, to talking to them on the phone, to doing all the research I needed to do before choosing an Lawyer, I have had a great feeling about them handling my case. When I spoke with them on the phone they immediately set me an appointment to come in on a Saturday evening. From that day on we have had one on one communication night or day. No matter the time they answer my calls or they call me back in a timely manner. They are very professional, yet friendly and 100 percent supportive to your needs. They will go the extra mile that is without a doubt. I am very grateful to everyone on their team.

I remember the days of Domino's when it was 30 min or it is free. We didn't know each other but I called and spoke with the receptionist and explained my problem. Once I did she contacted the attorney and he made sure he was available in 30 min for me. WOW that is fast. We were able to solve my problem in no time at all. They are great and worth every penny!!! Thank you so much for your assistance. I would recommend them to anyone!!!

Look no further these gentlemen are undoubtedly an infallible group of defense attorneys I've researched all of them and I'm more than pleased with my choice because they surpassed all of our expectations plus I believe we've made a few lifelong friends at first as anyone would I felt some uncertainty and uneasiness but Lane immediately welcomed us and was extremely receptive to our needs he was there for us committed the entire time let me say that I know we have built a strong bond there were a few times of panic and worry and Lane was right there to comfort and reassure me I trust him with everything not once did I feel like a burden even though I'm sure I was driving them crazy with questions and concerns these guys are sophisticated experienced and most definitely capable of handling the most difficult cases at one point before I met them I felt totally powerless destitute but now thanks to them I can finally breathe and I get to keep my husband and our little family can stay together I'll never be able to repay them for their genuine kindness and hard work in my opinion this was money very well spent love you guys, Haley

Lane and his Partner have been a tramendious help with my unfortunate case with the law. After long days and hours struggle just to find an attorney that would take the time to assist me with my case - even with the lawyers and companies that were referred to me by friends, PO, and the courts, it was becoming a frustrating situation I just wanted to avoid, but I couldn't of course. Then I came across their information on google maps and called them right away.
I spoke to Lane over the phone and even with they're busy schedule he took the only time he had available to squeeze me in for a consultaiton that day. With my history of having chronic anxiety, for me this has been nothing but stress and worry, and every attorney made me nervous since my story and information was never of interest nor were any of my questions or concerns addressed. During my meeting with Lane and his Partner I was surprised to find that that I had none and I was able to walk out of their office confident that I had made the right choice in choosing a lawyer that would best suite my needs and actually defend me.
They took the time to ask me about my case, the whole story, not just bits and pieces and ignore the rest. Knowing how expensive a lawyer can be and has been for me, the rates at Wasatch Defense Lawyers are actually not that bad, and I feel I got what I paid for and more, because they put quality care into providing their clients with well educated, and experienced attorneys that do care and they take pride in what they do, and want to be able to take that extra load of stress off of they're clients and take it upon themselves because its apart of what they do, and they want each individual to be confident that they will help protect and serve those that come to them with their legal issues and don't know what to do. They have a well established named and they background to prove that. They also help their clients with therapeutic services as well if clients choose or feel the need to get that extra help to set their minds at ease and help themselves to become emotionally, and mentally stable in their everyday. I would recommend Wasatch Defense Lawyers to all of Utah's residence that are looking for an Attorney that will put a 110% into their job for their clients and thats not something I can say about most. I am happy and confident with the services that they have provided me and with todays high volume of unfortunate situations we as human beings experience at least once in our lifetime, Im glad that their are still companies such as this one that care about giving people second chances with out judgement and bias reasonings. I highly recommend those looking for an attorney that will be on their side, defend them, understand their financial situation to not hesitate and call Wasatch Defense Lawyers ASAP. You will not be disappointed.
Thank You Lane & his Team for all you do. It is greatly appreciated and needed in this world. Keep up the great work!

A friend of mine went to court last week for a completely ridiculous domestic violence charge between her and her ex. She told me after it was all over about how well this law firm did to help her get her charge reduced, as well as get it set up to be expunged from her record after a year. She said they were very good about being in constant communication with her so that she didn't feel so anxious and unprepared. Her hearing went exactly as they said it would. I hope I don't ever need these guys, but if I do, I won't hesitate to call. Thanks for helping my friend!

The state tried to nail me with a bogus DUI and weed charge and my public defender just wanted me to plead guilty and take it. But luckily I found Craig and Lane who actually listened to me and wasn't afraid to fight for me in court. The legal system was just trying to bully me and didnt want me to have a voice, they just decided I was guilty. Craig and Lane gave me my voice back and fought for my rights. I would highly recommend them to anyone who doesn't want the system to take advantage and bully them!!

I met with Lane this evening he is wonderful and knows how best to help his clients or the clientele I really liked the fact that it was a free consultation and he was patient with me as I had a rough time finding parking he was concerned about me and waited till I got there and then let me inside the building as it was after hours I also like the fact that I do not have to have money upfront except for the filing and constables fees. He is not in it for the money I honestly felt he is more interested in my situation and how he can best help me.

Craig is a great lawyer, and the only choice you should make if you get into a situation with the law where you are unfamiliar. He listened to what happened, and even when I thought it was black and white and I had no hope, he explained what he could do and process, and made me feel very comfortable. He is knowledgeable and got me a better outcome than I could have ever expected. I was in a situation where I thought I had screwed my life up and Craig was able to get me into a situation where I could get back on track and put everything behind me. I wouldn't recommend any other lawyer if you are accused of possession of drugs or a DUI.

I had no idea how to navigate the waters of the legal system. Craig and Lane walked us through the different scenarios and advised us at every turn. They were even able to show up with about a 12 hour notice when we had an urgent need at a court date. His entire team is very professional and kind. He sincerely cares about our family's situation. The outcome was better than our expected best-case scenario. I would recommend Craig and Lane to anyone especially if you need a criminal defense or DUI lawyer.

Craig and Lane are very professional and informative. I unfortunately found myself in a little bit of trouble with a DUI and Domestic Violence charge and he talked me through everything and made sure I was provided the best possible outcome. The first few lawyers I talked to acted like they were selling a car.. it was “this is your sentence” without giving me a chance to even speak on my behalf. Craig and Lane were the only ones who let me explain my side and trusted what I had to say! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer.
