The Wasatch Defense Lawyers are the best team out there and I recommend them 100% to anyone!! They helped me through a very stressful situation and were able to get my case completely dismissed and my record cleared! I’m sure that if I had not gone to them, things would have resulted very differently. They are worth every penny! The moment I signed with them, a weight lifted off my shoulders because I knew I was in good hands and that they would take care of everything, and they did! I felt that they truly cared about me as an individual. Lane was awesome and kept me informed every step of the way. He always answered my messages promptly and reassured me that everything was going to be ok. Scott was also great and fought for me until the very end. Victoria was great too and was always able to quickly get me an appointment when needed. There were others whose names I don’t remember who also helped. The entire team was amazing!! Thank you so much!! I will forever be grateful!! I’m so glad that I found them through these reviews and want to pay it forward to others looking for an attorney. These guys truly are the best! Go with them. You won’t regret it!

So I want to say that this defense office is outstanding at what they do!! Scott Wilding is the best attorney I have ever encountered!! He has so much passion and drive, as well as strong leadership qualities. He has treated me with the upmost respect. Like I was his family and friend. He invested his heart and intelligence to get me the best deal possible. And let me tell you when all the bases were loaded and it was the bottom of the last inning. He stepped up to the plate and grand slammed it, the ball landed in the stadium parking lot. For reals he did the impossible. Thank you Scott and everyone else that got me through this case!! Just amazing all around. Definitely #1 hands down!!Angel Archuleta

I always knew what was happening throughout the process and I had the information I needed.The team provided very realistic expectations for the outcome of my case and I never felt like I was being under-represented. I believe they always had my best intentions in mind while working on my case and provided a sense of calm during a very stressful time which was a relief for me and my family.Their level of professionalism was very confidence inspiring and I am grateful that I choose them to represent me!Edit: even months after my case Ashley has been incredibly helpful!

I want to give a praise report for Wasatch Defense Lawyers. We hired them to defend our son but it turned out that it was a short term experience. We had put up a large sum of money and so my wife and I decided to askfor a Partial refund. They granted that to us. To me this shows good business principles and integrity. Thank you Wasatch defense lawyers.
