Attorney Joshua Baron brought me a lot of clarity on my legal matters and was very kind and understanding of my situation.

In the Rules of Professional Conduct, it says: As advocate, a lawyer zealously asserts the client's position under the rules of the adversary system. This is hard to do when you don’t listen to your client’s position. Doug Thayer at Durham Jones & Pinegar barely listens to your position.The rules also state: The lawyer should also consult with the client and seek a mutually acceptable resolution of the disagreement. Doug does very little consulting. He bosses. He has little recognition that clients are experts in their circumstances and goals. As I would try to get him to consider something, he would quickly dismiss it with something like, “end of story.” He is constantly reminding you how he is the expert, yet he was losing about half my hearings even though I have a good case. He would regularly threaten withdrawing by saying things like, “If you don’t agree, I’ll withdraw." His ego also blinds him to creative solutions, which was greatly needed in our complex case.
Doug and firm were slow at responding to questions and moving the case forward, which is also against a rule of conduct. We would send them emails with questions and they would regularly take days to respond or not at all. His firm would wait weeks to file motions, delaying an already slow court process. He originally told us we could be done in August, and now in January we aren’t even close. The judge at my last hearing expressed concern that my petition to modify had been moving along too slowly. He wanted us to move faster to trial.
As Doug and his firm were contributing towards the slowness, we asked him if he could focus on the main trial and let us take care of the superfluous motions my ex-wife was filing. This would keep the cost down, but he rigidly refused, saying this court process is just expensive. Yet, he could have chosen to work with us rather than run his lucrative machine.
They would file unnecessarily long motions to add to the cost. Once, the judge would not enforce sanctions for my attorney fees because of the excess cost of writing the long motion. Even when the judge told him he didn’t need to write so much, and when we asked him to keep them more concise, he said he has to respond to every detail of my ex-wife’s ramblings. As one of his colleagues said in a review, he has a reputation for running his clients’ bills up.
Then, to top it off, as he dismissed himself from the case to the judge, he stabbed me in the back by telling the judge I swore at him and threatened him (with bad reviews). This is the judge who will hear my request for custody modification. This behavior goes against another rule of professional conduct: A lawyer should keep in confidence information relating to representation of a client so far as disclosure is required.
Doug Thayer has a big ego, he’s rigid, unprofessional, he will run up your bill, and he’s not that good at winning.

Doug Thayer and Dave Nielson are the two finest attorneys I could have hired. My family’s life was strung out in the courts for seven years. We had already been through three previous attorneys before I was referred to Doug Thayer. He can be intimidating, especially if you’re wired sensitively from past abuse. I almost let Doug’s abrupt, confrontational style scare me off when I first met him. But I knew I was shopping for a fighter, not a friend; and hiring Doug was one of the best decisions of my life. His initially intimidating style made him an incredible attorney able to wage a winning battle in court. I had an extremely complicated, sordid case, with mountains of evidence, that previous attorneys never bothered to investigate. Dave Nielson combed through EVERY piece of evidence for my case, leaving no stone unturned. Doug and Dave fought relentlessly for me, to protect my children. Though there is nothing worse than having your life in the hands of the courts, Doug and Dave are proof that even in an unjust system, there are still lawyers with integrity who will fight for the truth.
It would take pages to describe all the ways my attorneys fought fearlessly, but a few examples... They uncovered the truth that a psychological evaluation report held as evidence in the court for 16 months, had been doctored and falsified. They challenged and turned upside down the unfounded, inaccurate reports of an unscrupulous reunification therapist. They stationed a process server outside the home of a witness the very day she was to return from an extended period out of state, having won their motion to re-subpoena her after she refused to answer questions. They sought out the best expert witnesses and had a continual stream of brilliant ideas for my case. They were upfront and honest about money, and worked as fast as they could to keep their bill within the confines of the budget I had. Doug and Dave did everything in their power to win my case and saved my children from a life of abuse and trauma. I will be forever grateful to them—they were worth every penny. They fought for a downtrodden, small-time, single mother with the aggressiveness and passion they would use to fight for a powerful, high-profile, wealthy client. I would return to them for any legal need, and I would refer anyone with an honest case to DDJP. Though I initially chose this legal team only for their fight, I now consider them my friends. Nobody fights that hard for you if they don’t care, and these attorneys truly care.

Brady Brammer did a wonderful job representing our interests in a legal matter. His recommendations were creative and helped ease a difficult situation. I'd highly recommend him and Spaulding Law.

Brady Brammer and Spaulding Law put professionalism on a whole new level. The amount of care, effort, preparation, passion, and attention to detail Brady put into my case was astonishing. During a stressful time, Brady gave my family peace of mind knowing our case was being handled as well as possible, and he treated our case as if it was his personally. The way Brady conducts himself in a courtroom was incredible as well. His approach to presenting our case allowed him to display a level of trust and integrity that was impossible to deny.
Being involved in litigation is never fun for anyone, but having Brady on our team helped give us serenity during this process. I will recommend Brady and Spaulding Law to anyone, no questions asked!

Brady Brammer is a lying POS that has no problem resorting to illegal means (Having private hearings without making an effort to notify the opposition) to win cases. I will be making a bar complaint as well!

I paid just around $3000 in attorney fees for 2 months of representation with no court appearances or filings… just emails with OC and phone calls without even meeting Mr. Hoyer in person. He quickly referred me to his subordinate counsel for several weeks. I received such a large bill through two months, I made a change immediately and was so glad that I did. When I requested correspondence between him and opposing counsel to try to substantiate some of the cost, he would not forward that to me. You may want to make that inquiry if you ever decide that you want to retain him as I feel, this is highly irregular and far from transparent when you are paying for his services. Mr. Hoyers office said they would only send emails to my new attorney if he requests them but, would not send them to me. I asked on multiple occasions for a 10 minute appointment with Mr. Hoyer to place a name to a face and shake a hand after spending thousands of dollars the first few weeks and during the first month and was told he was ill or on vacation and just given the run around or in court. I also paid the $300 initial one hour consultation, which was by phone and not in person. I will tell you that my experience was a couple years ago in 2022 and I have utilized five attorneys for business and real estate transactions that were FANTASTIC. Mr Hoyer not only did not place his client as first priority, but overcharged and was an inefficient in utilizing an associate inexperienced attorney to assist and charged and charged. He was not transparent and would not share communications ie emails between he and opposing counsel when I need to address my situation… when I retained my next attorney, his open book policy was to CC all communications which I found refreshing and exceptionally transparent. Do you due diligence here…my experience was challenging, costly and a nightmare.

If this is The kind of gloss firm you would want that literally says they’ll drain you of money if you don’t leave them a good review.

Brady Brammer and Spaulding Law put professionalism on a whole new level. The amount of care, effort, preparation, passion, and attention to detail Brady put into my case was astonishing. During a stressful time, Brady gave my family peace of mind knowing our case was being handled as well as possible, and he treated our case as if it was his personally. The way Brady conducts himself in a courtroom was incredible as well. His approach to presenting our case allowed him to display a level of trust and integrity that was impossible to deny.
Being involved in litigation is never fun for anyone, but having Brady on our team helped give us serenity during this process. I will recommend Brady and Spaulding Law to anyone, no questions asked!

Brady Brammer is a lying POS that has no problem resorting to illegal means (Having private hearings without making an effort to notify the opposition) to win cases. I will be making a bar complaint as well!

I watched my friend get eaten alive by the opposing counsel. Lillian just sat there shuffling papers. No objections the whole time from her. Sloppy, unorganized. Unprepared to represent anyone. She also didn’t keep my friend informed of anything going on for weeks and days before the divorce hearing. I seriously question her competence.

Don't use her. She doesn't know what she is doing. Getting a bill from her is impossible. No accounting. Just tells you what you owe her, but you can't get a breakdown on what charges are for. PLUS, she is untrustworthy.

This firm is awful! I had an issue with the previous landlord where they were not communicating with me effectively. Which then caused me to be evicted, To make a long story short. I contacted this fern in hopes of getting everything resolved and spoke with Amanda, We eventually how to conversation a consultation, if you will, Which afterwards she dropped off the face of the planet and hasn't responded and basically ghosted me. Not effective communication just like my previous landlord that has landed me in the spot of trying to find an attorney. At the very least, Amanda And or the company need to reach out to their suppose it clientele, and let them know what the f Is going on. Negative 2 stars.

Heather Seegmiller is one of a kind Attorney ! She came dedicated, focused and even worked over the weekend to give me her all! What was going to be a catastrophe? Heather turned around and literally saved the case. She works extremely hard and is meticulous with details. Me and my family always talk about what miracle she has been!

After scheduling what I thought was a paid consultation that should have lasted 1 hour, I learned I was unknowingly scheduled into a 15 minute free consultation. Heather rushed through the consultation continually reminding me she was losing money every minute we spoke. Completely unprofessional, zero compassion, zero fighting skills & capability. If you need a bulldog of an attorney who is willing to fight for you, this attorney is not it. I had $23,000 I was prepared to give her just to start my case. Her loss.

I worked with Mr. Harris on a case recently. He was short-tempered, unprofessional and lazy. I would never work with him again. I would never recommend him.
