Jonathan’s communication is exceptional—he is always responsive, thorough, and transparent, which helped alleviate any stress or uncertainty I had. What truly sets him apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. His strategic thinking, attention to detail, and negotiation skills are top-notch, and it’s evident he has a genuine passion for his work.
Whether you’re dealing with a complex legal matter or need someone who will fight tirelessly on your behalf, Jonathan T. Nish is an attorney you can trust. I wholeheartedly recommend him and this firm to anyone in need of expert legal counsel.

DO NOT USE THESE LAWYERS - We will be suing them for Malpractice, which we do not want to do, however they are awful attorneys. Stay tuned for updates. Read below for a small taste of Todd Wilers and C&J's Incompetence. The best part is we will win! Todd has no excuse why he screwed up so badly, other than he is incompetent, much like this law firm. If you want to win your case, use someone else. I am surprised C&J has not thanked me for my review, like they have for others. What a shame.
I'm surprised to see anyone say something good about Todd's representation. The dude is not very good at his job. He is unorganized, for starters. Todd gave us legal advice on how a bond works, and when we went to get one, we discovered he doesn't know how it works. So what does Christensen and Jensen do, they make him a partner. Good Grief. They promote a lawyer who does not understand how the law works, or keep up with the changes of the laws.
If you want quality representation, this is not the law firm to use. And do yourself a favor, never use Todd Weiler.
My wife was looking back at emails from Todd this weekend and she found this gem, Todd didn't have time to contact DOPL before our case and ask them to testify on our behalf. The case Todd represented us on involved an unlicensed electrician who was suing us. Todd did not have time to do his job properly.
Think about that before you use him. This cost us ton of money. But hey, it doesn't come out of Todd's pocket.
DO NOT USE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

Absolutely AMAZING law firm. Seriously, I’m not kidding if you find your self needing any kind of help from a lawyer this is the firm to use. Specifically Karra, Ashlee and Tanner. I first needed them for a civil case against a law enforcement agency which they were amazing with. Then I unfortunately needed their assistance for a DWI charge for prescription medication that I hadn’t even taken that day. I was being railroaded (in my opinion because of my civil lawsuit) and initially was coerced into pleading guilty with a public defender. Knowing I was 100 percent innocent I reached out again to this firm and retained them. They were able to get my guilty plea withdrawn which in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Then we went to a jury trial. And this is where Michael Tanner shined. Trial started at 0830 AM and Jury came back with NOT guilty verdict at 11 PM that night. While my mom was waiting outside the courtroom until it was here turn to testify, she heard the officers exclaim “they brought out the big guns for this” and boy were they correct. I felt like I was finally heard for the first time in 1.5 years and was given amazing representation. Tanner didn’t leave my side for the entire trial from 0830 AM to 1130 PM, not even to eat and defended me vigorously with amazing legal arguments that left me seriously impressed.
The next day they sent me flowers congratulating me on the win in court which is something I’ve never heard a law firm do before. Trust me on this when I tell you there is a lot corruption

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.

This one star review is for PGAL, Sam Sorensen. Overcharged for rediculous items, and added no value. Minimal effort to collect a check, and poor judgement. In the end, God knows. Thank heavens for Anna Trupp, our custody evaluator. She came through for us in the end. Think about a custody evaluator over a PGAL, is my recommendation. Especially if you have parents on the other side involved in various versions of substance abuse. It’s not just clients that feel this way, it’s attorneys in the industry that see his lack of effort, as well.

Don't bother - I reached out to discuss an HOA issue and couldn't get a response; I called directly and was told they're "very busy" but they might be able to squeeze me in (thanks, I guess?). They wanted to make sure I could afford $300 per hour to talk to the only attorney at the firm who deals with these matters (apparently); pretty insulting how many times they asked "are you sure you can afford $300 an hour to discuss this? Are you sure?" Yes, I'm able to afford an attorney and am aware that professional services cost money. I was also told to not bother if I don't have the CC&Rs from the HOA, even though I repeatedly told the representative that I'm trying to get those documents and that's why I need an attorney. Very unprofessional, not impressed at all.

I had Reid Tateoka represent me and if I could choose between jumping into a bathtub with a toaster or paying this lawyer, I’d choose the toaster. I don’t think he ever got my name spelt right. During my, protective order hearing, he choose not to submit evidence. Then when it got declined the order he told me to “get over it” when I asked if there was more we could do. Next time I’ll represent myself. Could have done a better job at it that’s for sure. He’s terrible at being transparent and guiding you through the legal process, so unless you’re familiar with it yourself, you’re going to be completely lost; even worse so with depression, like I had. Enjoy my cash Reid. You obviously need it more than I do.

Brian Porter was amazing to work with during my divorce. He was on top of everything and made the entire process so much easier. It’s already hard enough going through something like that. But with his knowledge on what needed to happen to get everything done as quickly as possible and compassion for what I was going through is unparalleled. Very impressed!!

Retained Cameron for his legal expertise and assistance. Very disappointed in the lack of communication, follow through and actually handling my legal needs. After almost 2 years of unnecessary back and forth to get my uncontested divorced finalized, I have had to hire another attorney to get this wrapped up. Disappointing and extremely frustrating.

During one of the darkest times in my life I hired Laura as my divorce attorney. She was kind and yet so knowledgeable of the law. She always kept me informed of procedures and timetables with the proceeding. Divorce is never an easy process and she made far better than I could have imagined. She is very professional and yet is able to listen and know what needs to be done and how to do it. I would recommend her highly to anyone I know.

Clyde Snow Sessions does not disappoint. Laura represented me recently and she went above and beyond in her representation of me. She actually secured an outcome for me that I didn't think would be possible. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable. I will use Laura again should the need ever present itself.

I can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am for Robb. Things of this nature are always stressful & he helped me feel calm and taken care of throughout the process of working with him. He got me what I was praying for. He is very good at what he does. Hire him. Let him do his thing. You would be happy you did.

I originally wrote a review of my experience with Mr. Wharton, but I was instructed that I couldn't write what I had written about my experience with him as a lawyer. This is my second attempt, I will state that he has a partner and a paralegal this is amazing. I would utilize them before I would utilize Mr. Wharton.

I recently hired Chris to help me with an expungement I have been putting off due to worries about time and money. Chris's assistant helped me through each step of the process and always had everything prepped and ready for me to look over and sign when I arrived. Chris made sure I felt taken care of and was always available to answer all my questions. The office is very nice and the whole staff is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend Chris Wharton Law to anyone in Salt Lake County or the surrounding areas looking for an affordable, high-quality lawyer.

I had the opportunity to see Mr. Overson in action during trial. He is professional, confident, knowledgeable, has a great strategy, communication style, and empathy. I could tell he prepared extensively for the case and did not hold back to defend his client, which resulted in success. Forever grateful and highly recommend him.
