I was very grateful for the straight forward information we received. Lane was patient and kind, Darrell was blunt and direct. I LIKED THAT in this situation. I needed information/ education about what could happen, possible worst case scenarios, the law as it applied to us.

I went in for a free consult and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Very knowledgeable and honest, they really took the time to listen to my concerns and gave great advice. I will most definitely be using Wasatch Defense Layers.

The Wasatch Defense Lawyers team has been amazing, especially Lane, paralegal; he has kept us in the loop on everything happening with the charges and the court. Anytime I text or call, he responds quickly and professionally. Wasatch Defense Lawyers are keeping our son—who was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people—out of prison, and setting him up so he can move forward in life and put this chapter behind him. 🙏🏼

I was impressed with the fact that they started on the case before we even hired them. Scott was very informative and gave us his cellphone number so we could call him anytime we needed and he always answered the phone.I was impressed in his compassion considering the situation. He was always very kind and nonjudgmental.He always had compliments about how he was doing. He worked hard for results.

At the very beginning, I had no hope or nowhere to go, or any idea what to do with the situation I got in but I got in touch with Wasatch Defense. They connected me with Beau and Jenny and thanks to them I get to live my life after going through 4 years of hardship and uncertainty lane and Beau and Jenny fought tooth and nail for me and gave me another chance at life. For that, I am forever grateful to them and would recommend them a million times over.

If you’re looking for lawyers who don’t just show up but show out, this is the team. They’ve had my back every step of the way sharp, relentless, and seriously kick ass at what they do.Special shoutout to Lane: absolute rockstar. Lane goes above and beyond, explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and fights like hell for the best outcome. You can tell they truly care, not just about the case but about you as a person.Professional, powerful, and downright awesome these are the lawyers you want in your corner.

My son was falsely accused by a student at school and the issue was reported to DCFS. My defense attorney team and attorney Paul Johnson did a wonderful job and got everything dismissed quickly.

It is early in the case with a long road ahead, but up to this point we have been treated with understanding, kindness and compassion. Reed and Lane have been immediately responsive when contacted. I believe their team is competent and motivated to advocate through a difficult situation, and are highly invested in reaching the best possible outcomes. Thank you!

So, initially I didn't have the best experience with a specific attorney, after I had left a negative review, Lane personally reached out to me to offer to rectify the situation. I was blow away with how kind and professional he was, and his offer that if I ever needed help again, I could use him personally. Sometimes things happen, and maybe my experience was just a fluke, but I am truly surprised how quick Lane was to want to make things right. Because of that alone, I would absolutely recommend Wasatch Defense Attorneys. Not all businesses care about their clients and their customer service, and I can tell he really wants people to have had a good experience with his organization. Thank you, Lane!

When I found myself stranded at the doorstep of an unfamiliar legal system, I reached out for help. Scott and the team at Wasatch Defense Attorneys responded with remarkable speed, meeting with me the same day to listen, strategize, and provide clear guidance. Even after resolving my case, their continued support has been a tremendous comfort during such uncertain times. Wasatch Defense Attorneys are swift, effective, and, most importantly, always have your back.

As a first timer utilizing a lawyer and going through the court system I was nervous to say the least. I had 0 idea on what to do, who to call and how to go about it. I called a few offices and all seemed to be very straight with 0 care and wanted to charge me an hourly rate.I ended up coming across Wasatch Defense Lawyer. From the get go they were very knowledgeable, patient, and answered all my questions. They walked me step by step on what the process would look like.Price point,WDL are more than fair in my opinion. It was a flat rate ( at-least for my situation ) and came out to about half of what the other lawyers wanted to charge me.Team,Victoria their paralegal was the first person I worked with. She was kind, understanding and very professional. She understood my frustration and was empathetic. My lawyer David, great man! He is very knowledgeable when it comes to his work. He’s means business. He got the resolution I needed. Overall as a first timer going through the court system I’d highly recommend utilizing Wasatch Defense Lawyers. They are there when you need them and will be by your side the entire way.Victoria & David,Thank you for making this process so seamless and having my back when I needed it the most. You guys are the best!

Guilty until proven innocent. The system is broken; you’re not going to fully understand it until it happens to you or someone you love.Being faced with a false accusation, we contacted Wasatch Defense Lawyers. Our case was unique, one of no crime or evidence. This was the most terrifying experience of our lives; in order to fight for our freedom, we lost our home, vehicle and high paying job, we were homeless and penniless. The Wasatch Defense team represented us accordingly, walking us through each step of the way. There is only one thing I’d advise they not sugarcoat, being able to obtain work. It was impossible, with “pending” felony charges. It’s a sad, frustrating truth to accept, so it’s important you are properly represented by a strong defense team. Shortly into the process, Reed became our attorney. He was patient and took the time to answer our questions, he listened to our concerns, worries while sympathizing with great care. His demeanor and expertise were a perfect fit for us. Reed has a calming sense about him that is comforting. He fought the long 3 years for us, winning small, yet substantial victories along the way! We are forever grateful to Reed, as well as to the rest of the team Lane and Scott. Although we accepted a plea deal, we can have it expunged after 5 years. We are now ready to move on with our lives.For those facing this hardship, seek out all resources available to you, let family and friends help you along the way. Be patient and listen to the advice of your law firm family, Wasatch Defense Lawyers.

Absolutely the best. Our adult child had been incarcerated for four days with no representation. I called on a Friday afternoon to schedule a consultation. Within minutes they dispatched a legal representative to the jail and scheduled the consultation. An attorney was retained by the spouse on Saturday. Wasatch Defense Lawyers honored the prior scheduled consultation. We received information from the visit to the jail, and information regarding the charges even though they are not his representatives. They are professional, courteous, and truly the best.
