Stephen has a way of putting things into correct perspective as he speaks to you. This is a comforting trait. While some cases can be unnerving for a client, Steve is logical and calming. He was confident and professional. I appreciated the way he showed up early to court and worked together with the district attorney to get my case dismissed. I am very grateful that I found Steve.

Stephen was extremely professional and walked me through each and every step. He was extremely responsive, attentive and took every step to make sure I received the best outcome possible. He even attended my court date in my absence as I was at the Hospital for the delivery of my baby. I highly recommend Stephen as a Defense Lawyer.

It's been a while, but it's probably worth sharing my experience with Marilyn. Better late than never. I went through my divorce back in 08. I hired Marilyn, who told me to put an order on my (now) x wife, because I told her she had punched me in the face on multiple occasions and pulled a gun on me once. When I returned to Marilyn's office to read what they had drawn up, I wouldn't sign it because it wasn't truthful. There were things added I had never mentioned. I had to pay Marilyn more money to have her assistant Grant change things back the way I originally said it happened... We ended up at the old 4th District Court and as a group of us were sitting in a waiting room before court, Marilyn asked everyone to leave the room except me. She then told me to lie in court and when I told her I wouldn't, she told me I was "too difficult to work with" and basically dumped me right before court. The order was dropped and I was left with a massive bill, over $10k. Anyway, her and Ron Wilkinson, my x wife's attorney, were a couple of mud slingers who clearly only cared about getting paid and doing the right thing. I would never recommend either of those two, unless you're into that bs.

I also heard they Marilyn was a great attorney. I was married for about 28 years, was hoping I would get at least 28% of my ex’s half million dollar a year income, I didn’t. I helped put him through phd school, stayed home with the kids while he was out of town alll the time and took care of EVERYTHING! I did the acre of yard work by my self, was the one who cleaned the garage and had no maid for a 5,000 sq ft home. When I said I did everything I mean it. But, I guess I was not worth 28%. She did not put in the decree his documentation of some the percent of the alimony I am suppose to get so now I just have to take his word on my portion, so frustrating obviously he is not an honest person. He purchased a brand new bmw 2 weeks after the divorce, had plastic surgery, has been on multiple vacations and is building a big brand new home while I am trying to keep my bills paid and flip credit cards to gets points everywhere to be able to take my kids on vacations. I am older, have no skills due to being a stay at home mom and taking care of our family, so I am unable to get a decent job. Marilyn is a nice person but, I don’t feel like I got what I should have. I also feel like if we would have met and had a plan before mediation it many have worked out better. She made me feel like I was already a winner going into mediation but, did. It feel like one after.

I was terrified of my ex, because he was trying to manipulate me in every possible way. Our marriage was dysfunctional. I asked around for referrals for a divorce lawyer and Marilyn’s name came up. I called right away and was scheduled in. I just felt good about it. It was only after I hired her that I heard she was the most intimidating and honest attorney in Utah. She knows what she’s doing and strives to be fair and reasonable. But she takes no BS. My ex tried to take our kids, tried to say I was mentally unstable, and tried every way possible to get out of child support. He’s still trying, over a year later. :) I was an emotional wreck and Marilyn was there for me, every step of the way. When, during mediation, my ex brought up for the first time that he thought I was too “mentally ill” to have our kids, I started panicking. She held my hand and told me firmly that she would never let that happen to me. I relaxed, and for the rest of our mediation, I calmly watched her SLAY the competition. She did not back down. I ended up getting more than I thought I’d ever win. To the point where I actually felt bad for my ex. I expressed this to her and she told me that what we’d won was fair, and that I was going to need it. She was right, and I still consider hiring her as the best thing I could have done during my divorce.

David did a fantastic job for our family in working out an important land boundary line solution. It worked well for our family and our neighbor. David is very professional and well researched. We found him easy to work with, he gave very candid and responsive suggestions, and knows a great deal about real estate which is a plus. Both myself and our neighbor were clients of David. We both highly recommend him as a safe and valuable resource when you have a legal need.

I retained Matt for two reasons, his prices were reasonable and I was broke. To make a long story short, in a divorce with no assets, the entire process, including sitting down with my ex and her lawyer on three separate occasions, absolutely nothing was accomplished. In the end I went from being a FT father to seeing my kids on wednesday and every other weekend. Matt argued for nothing in my defense, and that worked out just the way you would assume it would...I got screwed. In the end we paid for a 3rd party to do the work (for 200.00) that Matt should have done. Still can't figure out how a guy like this keeps his license and makes a living at what he does....some people were born to work in food service, Matt should be one of them...

This attorney avoids returning phone calls, text messages, replying to emails, and has a tendency to disappear when you need help.
This attorney is quick to believe non-credible people and non-credible information about his client and jump on the bandwagon / false narrative without getting the other side of the story or prematurely before getting the proven facts.
If you communicate to him how you feel things are going with his "services" and improvements you would like to see, he is quick to dismiss your concerns, act in a rude manner by calling you a name and/or make false assumptions about you based on no evidence. He doesn't like getting constructive criticism.

I was in an extremely messy divorce process with a spouse who was making false allegation. I went from having supervised visitation to joint physical and legal custody, defended me successfully in mediation, he got me a good deal in spite of the negative experience a divorce is. Mr. Cahill gave me lots of advice before the divorce filed which was a huge help for me as a client in the legal issues I faced in the process. Highly recommended.

Trent Cahill seemed like a nice professional guy when I first met him; however, during the process of him representing me, there were many times where I felt he was representing the opposing party. He tried pushing me to make decisions that would help the opposing party. He would sometimes send time sensitive emails later than I would expect something of time sensitive nature to be handled. I tried to communicate that I would prefer to receive emails sooner. But I continued to receive emails late. I would recommend Trent Cahill if you want to spend a lot of money for subpar performance and results. I would not recommend Trent Cahill if you want to be strongly represented.

Hire another attorney he will not hear you and keep asking for money.
Hired Rex Bushman through a referral from a law clinic. Because of My financial situation I borrowed money to be able to pay him. The custody case has no grounds I have been the main caregiver for years until my ex got married and wanted to move to a different state and take the kids. I requested through mediation to have Full custody and ex refused then my kids weren't returned to me for my parent time for months to then file change of custody. I had done all the paperwork with the clinic with all my evidence. All he was supposed to do was represent me and look at the paperwork we had worked on with the clinic and submit. He took the case didn't even look at my paperwork , response file, evidence of 18 pages and Bushman submited a page, 1 page of his version of response. When I saw what he had filed he said that he had to file something, was busy and will re file before the deadline. That never happened. But yet kept asking for money citing that he had use 5hrs with opposite counsel. Opposite counsel filed for temporary orders. Went to the hearing thinking he will represent me with all his law knowledge but didn't. The custody was temporarily granted to my ex because there was no evidence. Bushman never submitted my evidence yet charge me more to redo my paperwork since he didn't want to take what we had worked on with the clinic. The a Gal was assigned and he accepted citing it will be costly and I wouldn't afford it and didn't even ask me. Rex Bushman not only misstepresented me on my case he cost me to loose my kids. Yes It's temporary but he never presented the correct facts to the court if he would have at least read my paper work my case would have had a different outcome.
Hire another attorney he will not hear you and keep asking for money.

This commissioner is a travesty to the justice system and should be censured or fired. She had no idea of a single fact in our hearing. She refused to even listen or review clear evidence.
She can determine guilt just by looking at someone. Very very very obtuse, rude and incompetent. Had no clue where she was or what planet she was on . Just a disgusting player in our wonderful justice system. Review censure and fire her.

Commissioner Snow is the most outrageously biased human I’ve ever seen. Not even my case, but a friend’s who I’ve witness repeatedly get a raw deal and I’m just blown away.
She doesn’t follow her own orders and picks a side and then argues for that side and then threatens
I have never witnessed a worse practitioner of law. If you’re a woman, you will lose if your case goes before her.

Marla was my attorney for my divorce. My ex husband told her that I was cheating on him, and she believed him and swayed the entire case his way. She dragged her feet and things took forever to get finished. She also refused to put in the decree that I could get his wages garnished through ORS. I had her assistant put it in last minute without her knowing. If I hadn't done that, I never would have seen a penny of child support. All that because she felt bad for his fake sob story. Never did receive half of the retirement due to her negligence.

Our experience with Dean Zabriskie was very disappointing. The Zabriskie's were very promising and attentive, until they got the retainer check, and then the grand promises began to erode. Phone calls were refused even at previously arranged times. They never once visited to discuss the case or defense strategies, relying on very brief meetings outside the courtroom right before a hearing, and then primarily to demand more money(even though the agreed-upon retainer was promised to be enough to handle the case until resolution). Retaining the Zabriskie's was a terrible mistake and he would not recommend them to anyone.

Dean knows his way around a courtroom and is very good with the judge. However, he proved to be pretty unreliable when it came to keeping me informed. He also didn't keep his word with things he told me he would do. He would ask the judge for time extensions on numerous occasions, so he could do more things, then by the next time we went to court he hadn't don't anything and had to ask for more time. The judge was angry about it. He was able to pull off some things a public defender wouldn't have, but for the price he charges I would not recommend him.

Do NOT waste your time and money with Jere. We hired him to represent us in a DCFS case, not a divorce. Regardless, he absolutely does not have the best interest of his clients whatsoever, and puts in zero effort. Even with the smallest, easiest things such as asking our judge a very simple question regarding visitation, he did not ask because that would require he actually do something! Every meeting with him did not include conversation regarding our case, only conversation about our family member he romantically obsessed over. The final straw was when he made us completely miss our hearing because he was too lazy to set up his computer ahead of time then blamed it on “routine internet problems.” Even if there was internet problems (which idk how that’s possible when he didn’t even have a computer turned on) he was 20 minutes late, and showed no hustle when I told him everyone was waiting on him! We finally fired him after that. He then sent us an invoice which did not AT ALL match the price we agreed on. Not only did he put double the time he actually spent, he charged us for TEXTING. Even when he was the one who text us to see how things are going. He is lazy, and crooked. Don’t make the same mistake we did by giving him the benefit of the doubt. Take the advice from his reviews and find an attorney who actually has your best interest.

I hired Lacee Whimpey to assist with an amicable divorce. Our initial meeting was productive. It took a couple of months for my wife and me to work through asset division, but when we finished this I sent this information to her (March 23). That's when she stopped communicating. She didn't read my email. Failing to receive an acknowledgement, I sent a followup email on April 2. She acknowledged she failed to read the first email, and replied "I'll be in touch" (April 3). I requested a progress update by email on April 26 but again received no response. Finally I called on May 7. She was in but would not take my call. The receptionist said she would have Lacee call me back. Two days later I sent an email indicating that she had lost my trust and requested that she restore it immediately by responding or I would need to find a new attorney. She responded by apologizing that she was too busy to assist with my case. She promptly returned the balance of my retainer.
In short, I do not question her competence. Rather, my poor review is due to complete lack of professionalism associated with failure to communicate. Divorce is painful enough, but Lacee made ours more painful by failing to respond in a professional manner during a seven week period.
