Took two months of waiting and hounding the attorney I was engaged with to actually get back some legal templates. When I did receive them, they contained the wrong information. Just got the bill...$900 for absolutely nothing in return that was useful and maybe a 30 minute consult before actually signing any engagement letter. I would not recommend these guys for any services.

I've tried over and over to get set up with this firm and I am now convinced this is a brokerage company because it has taken so long to get appointments then they don't even show up at appointments. I was tricked by the other reviews. They have wasted precious time and scheduling for me and I feel like I was just a number that they didn't care about.

I don't really have the right words to convey my gratitude to the fine staff at Wharton O'brien. I think it is often easy to forget how life changing interactions with the courts can be - when its your desk job - but I don't get that feeling when speaking to Chris Wharton, or his paralegals Chandler and Ashley. The Kindness, compassion, and diligence they have shown during my time with them speaks volumes to their work and character.
The only thing I can think to say is: Thank you!

In 2018, I divorced my husband. The attorney messed up the paperwork, and I found that I had a mess on my hands. I hired Mr. Nemelka in 2020 to untangle things, and he did a fabulous job. My concerns were listened to and addressed. His advice was clear and spoke of years of experience. He was responsive, honest, and on top of everything. Things were taken care of with the court, and that was that... I thought. This year, I found myself needing a lawyer again due to reopened proceedings by my former husband. I again called Nemelka Law, and it has been resolved quickly and with minimal fuss. I would hire Steve again in a minute!

Steve did such an amazing job on my divorce. He answered all of my questions and explained the process to me in a way that was understandable. I felt so overwhelmed and he walked me through things step by step. He was amazing in court and was able to negotiate a resolution for me that kept my costs down and resolved my proceeding in a timely fashion. Beyond all of this, Steve is extremely nice and approachable. I had a great attorney and made a great friend.

This attorney got more than $3000 from my pocket in last than 2 weeks. Although, he did not do anything. He just kept asking for money and money. I found another attorney and he was able to work on my divorce for less than that. Be careful with this man.

Brent was my attorney through a difficult divorce. My ex-husband was an unwilling participant in the marriage AND the divorce. Not wanting to participate in the divorce made him difficult to negotiate with. Brent was able to see through his stalling tactics and eventually, we were able to force the divorce issue. Brent was effective in communicating with the narcissist who was my husband. It still took a while, but I was able to get out of the relationship with my dignity intact and with everything I wanted and needed. I am satisfied and grateful for Brent's experience and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney who finds themselves working with a difficult partner.

I have him help me with my pro se order to show cause, He volunteered through the court system to help those who represented themselves. He was trying to get the other party to listen to my suggestions for settlement, giving me advice, and being on my side when you really need someone to be there for you, even if you are presenting yourself.

I worked with Kevin Tanner through my employer's legal insurance program. I reached out to him for a consultation on a car accident settlement with an insurance company. In just 30 minutes, he gave me valuable advice that enabled me me settle the claim for a very fair payment from the insurance company. He was also very honest in his recommendations and did not try to upsell me on expensive services I didn't need for my situation.

Attorney Karra Porter said she would send a gramma request to get a 911 call and other police records for our family. After a month or two I called back to follow up and her paralegal stated that they had forgot to do it due to a family emergency but that they would definitely still do it. After another month or so I called back to see if there were any updates and was not called back. Over a period of close to 4-6 months they have not returned my phone calls or voicemails. At one point the receptionist told me that Karra would call me back the next day and she did not. If they were not interested or willing to look into this I would have found another attorney. But both Karra and her paralegal said they would do this for me and they did not; or if they have done it they have not given me any updates. Due to this delay we have now passed the 1 year mark of my family member’s passing and may not be able to hold the city accountable if there was in fact any neglect of duty. I believed that Karra was sincere in her willingness to help out my family but due to either her failure to act or failure to inform us of any actions taken, she has done our family more harm than if she would have simply declined.

3.5 STAR REVIEW OF CHAD STEUR LAW
Chad regularly lies and tramples the rules--which might be fine to you, if you benefit from his cheating. He is an impetuous attack dog who cares about his clients and fights hard for them. He is what people, myself included, look for in a litigator. While most attorneys are averse to conflict, Chad is not. Moreover, Chad is not greedy like many attorneys. Then why not a five-star review, you say?
Chad's problem is that he lacks wisdom. He fights--and usually wins--legal battles that might ultimately, and unwittingly, lead to your losing the war. Though I recommend Chad, he is like nitroglycerine; so I suggest you consult a second attorney before you let Chad loose.
(The above is my opinion as a lay person based on my dealings with Chad Steur. I do not present it as a statement of irrefutable fact.)

I went through the most surprising, undeserving, painful , and shocking experiences in my life this year that progressively got worse till it could worsen out. Anyway a family tried to frame me up in the nastiest way possible and I sought help from Attorney Steve of Christensen law. He saved me out of this situation that has landed most innocent people like me in jail. Highly recommended!

Kyle Witherspoon has a brilliant legal mind. But what makes him such an excellent attorney is his ability to vigorously represent his clients with a compassion and humanity that many other lawyers lack. In every instance where I have brought a legal matter to Kyle, he’s done exactly that while achieving great results. As a fellow attorney, I have no hesitation recommending Kyle to anyone looking for legal representation.

I was introduced to Kyle Witherspoon through a family member. I live out of the state but the issue was involving someone in Utah. Of course this added another layer of work and representation, but he and Katelyn Kendall were always very responsive, worked with me to answer my questions and keep me informed of the process. They were always very professional and I would definitely use them again. You will be in good hands if you use Kyle and Katelyn.

Kyle Witherspoon and his paralegal, Katelyn, are the best of the best. They saw me through some difficult negotiations in my divorce and dug in deep to get the desired results I needed to move forward. I can't begin to thank them enough and I highly recommend the Sorensen Witherspoon Law Firm.
