Matthew Brass

Firm: Matt Brass Law
3115 E Lion Ln Ste 160 , Salt Lake City , Utah 84121
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am a former felony and misdemeanor prosecutor who now focuses exclusively on criminal defense. I have prosecuted all types of crimes from the smallest of infractions to homicide. I have extensive experience in the areas of DUI and domestic violence, among others.. I've taught law related classes (criminal procedure, criminal law, civil procedure, criminal profiling) to bachelor level college students. I've consulted with and trained law enforcement in a number of areas of law, including DUI investigations, searches and seizures, and other investigatory issues.. My experience as a prosecutor and as an adjunct professor is a valuable tool to shaping an aggressive defense for my clients. I know how the government will approach the case against you and will explain everything in easy to understand terms so that we may shape a robust defense strategy. I know how and where to look for areas to poke holes because I used to be on the other side building these very cases against individuals.. I've spent countless hours in courtrooms for pretrial conferences, motion hearings, and trials. I'm extremely comfortable in that environment and am an experienced trial attorney with dozens of jury trials and hundreds of bench trials in my six years of practice. I routinely receive praise from jurors for my advocacy during trials.. I offer free consultations and flexible payment plans. Your attorney should be approachable and available to answer your questions. Contact me anytime for help with your criminal case. I'm available 24/7 by email at and most hours by phone. Call or email without any hesitation as I am here to help.

I have dedicated my practice to criminal defense and most specifically DUI defense.  I have attended special training, the same training that law enforcement officers undergo in order to investigate DUIs.  I have never defended a DUI case where we were unable to find some weakness or problem with the State's case to get better results.  I not only zealously defend DUIs at the criminal level, I also dedicate as much time and attention to the Driver's License hearings.  I get results for my clients.. Not only do I have a very experienced knowledge on DUI defense and investigations, I sincerely care about my clients and how my work directly impacts their personal lives.  I will get results for you.
