John is AMAZING to work with! He is very professional and always made sure we understood every single step in the process of our case.
We have never had to seek legal help before, and did not know what to expect. John was there every step of the way and made us feel secure.
He was very kind and understanding of our situation.
We just cannot express how grateful both my husband and I are for all of his help!

John is well worth Every Penny!!! I had 6 felonies I was charged with in Oct. 2020. Needless to say, I was scared and unsure what course of action to take. John was recommended and I couldn’t be more happier that he was. He told me to relax and that we would see what could be worked out. All felony counts were dropped and I walked out of court with no fines and no formal probation. I highly recommend using John for any criminal legal matters you may face.

I've worked with John Easton a couple of times in the past few years on criminal issues for people close to me. He was extremely helpful. He is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, friendly, and always comes across as being on your side. His experience as a former county prosecutor is extremely helpful when negotiating with prosecutors to gain the best results for his clients. His pricing is fair and he comes highly recommended by other criminal attorneys. I highly recommend John.

I was represented by John Easton for several criminal defense cases. He guided me through the process and fought for me the entire way. I had to put in some work on myself and follow through with my sentence, but I am 100% free of all charges now. He kept me from being sentenced to 0-25 years in prison and worked for me to get the best possible outcome for the situation I was in. If I ever need a lawyer again, he will be the one I call. I would recommend him to anybody. Thanks John for fighting to get me the chance to change my life outside of prison rather than in.

If you need an attorney, stop right here! John Allan is by far the most professional attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He listens, responds quickly, and his advice to clients is spot on. You can absolutely rely on John to give you an honest opinion about your situation - the good, bad, and ugly. While the entire staff is amazing to work with, I genuinely felt like I was John's only client. After knowing these people for over seven years, I can confidently say you're not going to do any better than this. There's a reason this firm is reviewed so favorably, don't take a chance by

After almost a year (COVID) of getting nowhere with another lawyer I hired John Allan. John actually listened to me (unlike the other lawyer), then took the time to explain the laws to me in a way I could understand, negotiated with the prosecutor and got me the best possible outcome for my case. The charges felt like a black cloud hanging over my head and John had it settled in a little over a month. You are in good hands with John Allan.

Unfortunately Mr. Easton has had to represent me on more than one occasion. I’ve seen every lawyer in Utah do their thing and Jon Easton is unquestionably the best I’ve seen. From the start I just felt at ease knowing he was handling my case(s). He’s professional, honest and just flat out talented at what he does. Worth every penny.

I had a difficult case that John Easton resolved with glorious results. Confetti fell from the courtroom ceiling, a thousand white doves were released, and a double rainbow appeared across all of Salt Lake by the time the judge, who did some sweet robot dance moves in honor of John's and my penultimate victory, slammed the gavel down, as if ushering in a new era where all injustices of the world were forever torn asunder.
John knows his stuff when it comes to my type of case -- he used to prosecute them back when he worked for "the man." But no longer! He's a wolf of justice

There aren't enough words to express how appreciative and impressed by the Counsel that I received from John Easton could possibly say. I'm 64 years old and it honestly took me this long to find representation that I can firmly say "I will never have anyone back me up with such competence and friendship as John Easton has done". Save your money and your sanity, give John a call.
