Associate Attorney
Jason Lantz earned his B.S. in Life Sciences from Kansas State University before his Juris Doctor at Seattle University School of Law in 2010. His scientific background gives him a unique edge in cases involving forensic evidence and toxicology. Known for meticulous preparation and strong courtroom advocacy, Jason has produced numerous not guilty verdicts on serious charges and is widely sought after by clients who need someone who will fight relentlessly.
My first impression of Jason was that of ease inspiring confidence. At no point was he unprofessional or disrespectful. Beyond his seemingly endless knowledge of the law, he had strong relationships with the prosecutors. I would recommend Jason to anyone.
I was terrified after my arrest, but Geoffrey and his team gave me exactly what I needed — real attention, real strategy, real results. They treated me like a person, not a case number, and the outcome was better than I ever expected.
After a bad experience with a previous lawyer, I was cautious about hiring someone new. The team at Burg Criminal Defense changed my mind about what legal representation could look like. Thorough, honest, and tireless. They fought for me when it mattered most.
