Walter represented me in a medical malpractice case. My wife and I immediately felt good about him. He was always professional and polite. He was really good about educating us on the situation and explaining things for us in a way that didn't feel condescending at all. We settled the case before we went to trial and felt very good about everything Walter was able to do for us. We felt like he cared, and just overall was a very nice, genuine guy who was there to help us in matters we were not capable of doing ourselves. Walter called when he had questions about details to make sure he had it right, so he could be as prepared as possible. He worked very hard on my case and was very well educated in his field. I always felt 100% confident in him and I feel very thankful to him and the DKOW firm.

Walter is an outstanding attorney! He is mild-mannered and very easy to talk to, but he knows when to dial it up in order to showcase his client’s case. He can be aggressive when needed and when this happens, his talents as an attorney are not to be underestimated. In our case, the deponent was clearly befuddled as Walter expertly dismantled all his responses. Walter will stand by you and your family. He understands you are going through trying times and cares very much about your well-being.

I was fortunate enough to have Nancy assigned as my counsel by the Salt Lake County LDA's office. From the start, she listened to my side of the story and asked what I wanted to do. I wanted to take it to trial. So, she asked the hard questions and we formulated a strategy for trial. She even brought in a colleague, Amy, and I have a nice legal team advocating for me. This was a scary time for me, being on trial for felony DUI. It was rough too, as I was truly confused about getting a DUI without the D. My legal team did very well too. I honestly felt they did the best they could. And despite being found guilty, the look of sadness from Nacy when the verdict came in was real. She told me "Sorry, we really should have won." She was still there for me though, and she gave me excellent advice going into the Pre Sentence Report with AP&P. So, I despite feeling I got a bad rap in all this, I owned the responsibility of it, was really honest with the interviewer, and the PSR came back extremely objective and fair. The judge must have thought so as well, as at sentencing I got 63 days time served with the rest of the 4 yrs and 9 months suspended. I've maintained this attitude even since then, and it's done wonders for my relationship with my PO. I actually feel like my PO is doing what the system designed this for and he is my goto now. I have issues making a payment, I call him. I let home know what's up, and he has helped with my DCFS case even. I slipped up and knew I was dirty for a UA, so I came clean to him from the start. Instead of violating me, he called my caseworker from DCFS and explained why he thought she should overlook it too. But it all goes back to Nancy, as she instructed me on this as well, told me not to fight probation, and to always maintain open communication with them. Where some friends of mine are so afraid of AP&P, like if they miss a check-in or something so they start avoiding them etc. Anyways, Nancy fought the good fight, and despite us losing she still did the best thing for me. I felt she did all she could, and we lost. But, having felt advocated for I didn't feel as bitter with the system, and it's given me the strength to face this like a man and with dignity. I am getting my life back on track and anticipate terminating probation very soon. Don't ever change Nancy. You are awesome ;)

Background Information-- Prior Legal Cases: As an entrepreneur and business man, I hired and worked closely with several major Utah law firms over a period of 10 to 20 years. As a result of extensive litigation I gained valuable experience regarding both selection and working with competent attorneys. Events that Led Plaintiff to Hire Attorney Mark Pugsley:. An extensive 14 month investigation of Plaintiffs provided substantial evidence Plaintiff’s had violated Utah Security laws. The facts and circumstances surrounding the anticipated litigation suggested to me that selection of a highly competent attorney familiar with securities litigation was essential to success. I selected attorney Mark Pugsley after in depth interviews with three other major Utah law firms that handled securities fraud litigation Mark Pugsley Proposed A Strategy to Obtain Return of My Investment Without Filing Litigation: Mark Pugsley was able to quickly gain a good working knowledge of the various aspects of the contemplated direct claim and other possible litigation which was designed to return my large investment by either filing litigation or settling the cases via mediation. Mark proposed a unique strategy involving possible multiple litigation paths, which greatly enhanced the probability of settling the case via mediation. Final Results of Mark Pugsley Strategy In My Recent Securites Fraud Case: Mark Pugsley demonstrated his wisdom and experience as evidenced by the results of the mediation which met our requirements and prevented me from filing and funding approximately 2 years of costly and potentially risky litigation, which litigation I firmly believe we would have won. I would highly recommend Mark Pugsley for security fraud litigation cases and/or derivative litigation cases because he is intelligent, he speaks well, he understands relevant federal and state security laws, he is a good writer, he is a good poker player, he has a friendly but firm demeanor when dealing with the other side, he has a team of highly qualified supporting attorneys that he calls on from time to time and he has over twenty years of successful experience. Enough said!

Mark without question has been superior to any previous lawyer in all apsects. I first used Mark on a case which I had previoulsy presented to other lawyers whom seemed to have no answers. The case was very complex. Mark took the time and found a solution that has resulted in an outcome beyond our expectations. I highly recommend Mark as a lawyer and plan on using him for any future needs.

What can you say about any lawyer? We've all heard the jokes about lawyers and how most of them have no soul and are only after the money. I hadn't met a lawyer that didn't fit into that category until I met Margaret Olson. Ms Olson not only has a wonderful soul, she is also the most accomplished professional I know. She has treated me and my family like we were part of her family. Like the title says above... I could not give a higher recommendation to someone looking for a lawyer who gets the job done and knows her stuff. She will handle your case professionally, and with a heart. It doesn't hurt that she is well known in the legal community by other lawyers and many judges. She has a great reputation and one that is well earned.

I hired Hastings Law Firm for one specific case. I hired after a consultation over the phone with Brett Hastings. After hiring and coming to a settlement on my initial case, I have continued to use Hastings Law, not only because I have confidence in Mr. Hastings, but more to the point--specifically because I love working with Karma. Karma has forever changed the way I think of an "attorney". She is down to earth, professional, thorough and clearly well versed in real estate and business law. She is always very clear when straying into areas she does not feel confident in advising on and beyond that, she always offers up a more appropriate avenue to get my questions answered. I am never left with the "there is nothing to do about that" answer. I would highly recommend Hastings Law and Karma, not only for their capabilities, but because Karma gives me a confidence in knowing she's looking out for me. She is truly concerned with me as the individual having to live through, sometimes very ugly, proceedings. The relationship Karma has cultivated is a very personal one and there is something priceless to me about knowing someone values me, aside from the number of zeros on a check I can write them.

We all make mistakes; some of us make illegal ones. being caught is horrifying. Your fate is left in someone else’s hands, and you have little control of what the consequences of your actions will be. It’s like having the lights turned off, it’s pitch black and you can’t find the light switch. Mr. Metos was my light switch. He was patient, non-judgmental, and the best in his field, which is exactly what you want when you find yourself in this type of situation. Fred was able to negotiate a minimal amount of time for my sentence; I received three months which could have been 15 years. Seven years after serving my sentence, Fred was able to have my record expunged. Life is good; I owe a great deal of my success and happiness after that dark period in my life to Fred.

Kristin is very professional and trustworthy! She constantly checked in with us throughout the entire process and let us know what was happening with our case and the timeline for processing.

My husband & I were in a stressful situation that had been ongoing for many years. We live in NH and the court requesting information was in UT. Att. Mumford & her colleague were recommended to us and we could only "hope for the best". We were so pleased with the professionalism, understanding, & compassion they held out for us as we took one tedious step at a time. We recognized very early on that we did "have the best"! We locked arms, let them guide us and represent us in court whenever it was needed, across the miles -- lasting almost a year. Although we have never met in person, we always knew that we had hired an exceptional attorney for our needs. I am so very grateful that this unfortunate situation has come to a conclusion. Without a doubt, we would hire Att. Mumford again...however, we prefer to not be caught in such an unfair legal situation again.

Dave came and met my husband at the hospital after our 18 year old son was nearly killed in a head on collision. There wasn't much insurance available so Dave told us he would be happy to offer guidance and counsel, but he wouldn't feel right about taking us on as clients and having some of the insurance settlement go to him when we would need it for the life-long injuries our son was facing! WHO DOES THAT??? Who turns away an "easy to win" case? DAVE DID! He didn't see the dollar signs.... he saw us as fellow humans, fellow parents, scared, confused and just wanted to do right by us and our son! Dave is not only a great human, but a superb attorney. The advice he has offered us has helped us carefully navigate this time in our lives! I dont know how we could ever possibly repay him!

I was in a bad car accident that totaled my car and left me with painful injuries, a hospital stay, and unable to work, walk, or take care of my baby for months. I was so fortunate to have Jessica working on my case. The motorist that caused the accident was underinsured and my medical bills and lost wages were way more than I could deal with. Jessica made the whole process simple for me. She completely coordinated the settlement process with my medical insurance, my auto insurance, and the auto insurance of the at-fault driver. At one point during my recovery, my doctor's billing service was hassling me about paying right away. Jessica contacted them and asked them to go through her so I wouldn't have the stress of dealing with them. Jessica kept me informed during every step of the settlement process. She copied me on communications sent out to the various insurance companies and clearly explained the reasoning behind every decision, and what we could expect from each party. I could tell that she had a lot of experience working on personal injury cases like mine. I feel confident that I got the best settlement possible. My medical bills were paid, my lost wages restored, plus Jessica worked hard to get me additional settlement money to pay me for my pain and suffering. I would never choose to repeat the horrific experience of a car crash, but I'm so thankful for the expert work Jessica put in on my behalf after the fact. It allowed me to focus on my physical recovery, and not worry about any financial issues or jumping through insurance hoops. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. She is compassionate, professional, and really good at what she does.

The first thing I noticed about Craig Hughes was his passion for estate law. He clearly loves and relishes his role in helping people avoid all of the problems with family and inheritance that can happen when proper planning has not occurred. Craig was very careful to make sure I understood all of the legal jargon and how it applied to my life now and in the future. He was anxious to make sure that everything was done in my best interest. I appreciated and felt safe with Mr. Hughes' desire to make sure that the banks we dealt with and the documents he handled for me were meticulously and carefully explained. I was particularly impressed that Craig demanded integrity and professionalism from not only his staff and himself, but from all of the outside institutions that we worked with. It was a pleasure to have worked with an attorney that helped me in such an honest and forthright manner, while at the same time making sure I understood everything without a trace of impatience.

Nathan and Brigette were great to work with. Met around our schedule. Took over after a couple of months of us trying to work with insurance companies on our own. Two very nice people who will get things worked out for you. Highly recommended.

Nate Morris represented me in a personal injury case. He was always available to me, treated me very well, treated me like I was a person not just a case, always returned my calls and was excellent attorney to work with overall. Highly recommend to others who need an attorney.

Kyler represented me through a needlessly long and drawn out divorce. He provided sound legal advice and kept me sane while dealing with an opposing counsel whose primary focus was billing their client (my ex), not closing the case. He's incredibly smart and ethical as well as fair and honest when billing. Would recommend and would hire again.
