Jason Schatz

Jason earned his undergraduate degree and law degree from the University of Utah in 2003. Immediately upon graduating from law school, Jason and Steve formed the private firm of Schatz & Anderson, focusing on criminal and DUI defense. Jason's current practice is devoted almost entirely to DUI defense, and in the last 5 years, he has successfully handled over 700 DUI cases. Since entering private practice, he has continued to study DUI defense, having completed both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) student Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) Course as well as the NHTSA SFST Instructor Course. Jason has also attended an Intoxilyzer 5000 Operator's course and an Intoxilyzer 8000 Technician's course to learn more about breath testing. Jason is a proud member of the Utah State Bar, Salt Lake County Bar, Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and has never received a bar complaint. He is also a member of the National College of DUI Defense (NCDD) and recently became the FIRST attorney in the State of Utah to become Board Certified in DUI Defense one of less than 50 attorneys in the United States to have earned that certification. Jason is known by cops, prosecutors, judges and other defense attorneys throughout the State as one of the most knowledgeable, aggressive, and effective DUI defense attorneys in Utah, so much so that Jason is often asked to lecture and teach other attorneys interested in duplicating his success in defending DUIs. In December of 2006, Jason was featured on the cover of City Weekly magazine as Utah's go to "DUI Guy!" A confirmed workaholic, Jason tirelessly and creatively works each case as a special challenge, vigorously fighting for his clients at both the administrative and criminal level to preserve his clients' driving privileges and their freedom. You'll get no better defense for an alcohol- or drug-related driving offense than from Jason Schatz.
