I have worked with Quinn on a number of issues. He is always honest and fair. It is hard to find a good attorney that will be honest with billing and still work tirelessly to represent your interests. My dealings have been with real estate issues and I have never worked with a more competent real estate attorney.

Quinn Sperry at Morris Sperry has been a great resource for our firm. We have utilized him for complex commercial and real estate related litigation and have been very pleased with the competence of the representation, the outcome of the cases, the communication with us as a client from both Quinn as well as his staff, and the billing has been very reasonable detailed and easy to understand.

I was in a car accident and worked with Mark on a settlement with the insurance companies. Mark went out of his way to make sure that every question was answered. He was extremely responsive, and made sure that we communicated as needed. He was very thorough in the information he received, and presented it very well to the different companies. He had my best interest in mind, and took the time to make sure he got the best settlement possible for me. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone who wants to have that personal touch, and to have that communication made throughout the whole process.

I was injured in a car accident, I wasn't sure if I was going to contact an attorney to help me with my case, however I am so happy that I did and that Mark Ethington helped me with my case. He is very professional and his assistant Tessa is amazing. Every time I had a question or sent them an e-mail, they responded within 24 hours. My case was settled and I was very satisfied with the results, without the help of Mark, the outcome would have been different. I highly recommend anyone that has been injured in a car accident, hire Mark Ethington for your attorney needs. They definitely go the extra mile.

Mr Ethington handled a very difficult case for me. I knew I was innocent of the charges against me,but I did not
think I had much of a chance of winning. This was a jury trial. Mark was great. He, in my opinion clearly
out shone the prosecuting attorney. I was found not guilty on all charges. I am very grateful for the job he did.
he is a fine attorney and I highly recommend him.

I run a services business out of my home. I was introduced to Michael by a mutual friend. I told Michael about some of the problems I’d experienced with customers and project collaborators in the past. That same week he drew up a set of contracts for me to use with future customers and collaborators that addressed all of the issues I’d been having … and a lot of others I wouldn’t have thought of. I just fill out some info on the first page to make it specific for each customer/collaborator. Having these makes my business and sales process so much faster and less stressful. Michael is super friendly but also very professional. Basically a great person to have on your team.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Remedy Informatics & again hired Michael while serving as COO of a renewable energy company start-up. In both cases, he was terrific to work with and provided high-quality feedback on critical agreements in short periods of time. He's easy to work with, fast, and does great work - all qualities that I value in an attorney. I look forward to doing business with Michael again.

As adults and parents, we knew we needed to create a living will and trust. I was so nervous to start the process; worried about the emotions it would bring, how time consuming and tedious it would be, the cost, etc.
Russ made it so easy. He explained everything in great detail, answered our questions, and was patient while we discussed our answers. He was easy to coordinate schedules with and very efficient with his communication. I am so glad to have this task complete,and I am grateful that we went with Russ.

I was guided through the whole divorce process with Jacob. He did everything in a timely manor and did his very best. He always took the lead on what I wanted and he always made sure everything was done how I wanted. Great communication as well. I got a fair child support and alimony because of him. I would definitely recommend anyone going through any divorce to have Jacob help them.

I hired Jacob to represent me in a family law case my ex-husband initiated. Living in Missouri and having to hire an attorney in Utah was a little stressful, but Jacob made the process go very smoothly. We had an initial consultation over the phone where we discussed the case, my thoughts and feelings, and what the next steps going forward would be if I hired Jacob. Jacob really listened to me, understood where I was coming from and the situation at hand, and was straightforward about how he thought the case would turn out. After hiring Jacob to represent me, we communicated pretty regularly through email, texts, and phone calls. Jacob was very conscious about his fees, and he did his best to keep costs as low as possible for me. I really appreciated this and didn't feel like he was cutting corners or slacking in any way to keep costs low. He kept me in the loop regarding the case throughout the entire process and he made sure to submit my answers and evidence to the court in a timely manner to make sure we were within deadlines.
When my court date finally arrived, Jacob and I had a brief phone conversation before our WebEx session to make sure we had everything covered and to discuss the argument Jacob would be making. Jacob stayed on track and argued every point we discussed. Though we didn't get the exact outcome we were hoping for, Jacob did a great job minimizing my loss and I was happy with the outcome we got.
Jacob did a great job representing me in this case. Should the need arise in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. He listens to his clients and is always asking for input and direction. He treated my case like we were a team and I really appreciated being involved in what was happening.

I consulted with Jacob when he was a fairly new attorney outside of family law. He struggled with advanced legal arguments (anything other than the usual "failure to state a claim" reply) and was not really able to form a cohesive structure in his writing. He lacks a logical mind that excellent attorneys have as the research and writing that we consulted with came back to that of a first year law student. I am rating him average, because there was nothing above-average in his work.

I didn't appreciate the letter addressed to my college-age daughter who has been fighting cancer for over a year with the subject line, "Five Ways Modern Graver Robbers Hurt Your Family," inviting her to a "very special class" to "legally prepare for death." I don't know if or how Mr. Hawkins had a list of patients fighting deadly diseases, or if he just markets estate planning to all college students, soliciting them to be legally prepared for death. Either way, it was disturbing to receive this letter and her family didn't appreciate it. In the future, I hope Mr. Hawkins can send his marketing to the older demographic for estate planning and not young people who might be fighting cancer.
To be clear, I have not (and will not) use his services, which might be exceptional. This review is based on his marketing practices only, as detailed above.

We called and asked if they could write a cease and desist letter. A Jennifer Later emailed us that an Adam Kunz charges $100 for 30 minutes. When a law firm won’t tell you if they can assist you or not without charging a fee it’s a scam.

My fiancé hired Mary Bevan to help her with a custody matter. After the first hearing we had concerns with Mary's approach and confidence in the court room, after the 2nd hearing we realized she was as good as having no legal counsel. She has no control whatsoever in the court room and she allowed the apposing lawyer to walk all over her. It got to the point where it seemed like Mary didn't believe my fiancé and constantly kept telling her to be honest in order for her to be able to help. My fiancé never lied and was honest from the start. We ended up firing her and hiring a new lawyer. It took the new lawyer 1 hearing to get the case resolved, Mary had 7 months and didn't do anything.

I found Pearson Butler via MetLife legal plan. Connected with Russ to get our family trust in place. Straight forward to complete, no complaints there. Reached back out to Russ about a completely separate matter unrelated to estate planning. His response was "I do not practice law in this area and thus, have not idea." I guess I just had more expectation than a lazy response with typos. Too much to ask if there's someone he can put me in contact with? I will be moving on from Pearson Butler and find another firm to do estate planning in the future.

I contacted Mary after my father’s passing. He had a trust in place but it hadn’t been updated and I was faced with a situation I didn’t know how to handle. I was emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed and uneducated when it came to executing my father’s estate.
Mary listen to my concerns, explained the situation in simple terms, created a plan to move forward, drafted necessary documents and executed the plan.
Not only did I feel confident the situation would be handled and work out to my advantage, I felt well taken care of as Mary is very patient and knowledgeable.

Jake has stepped in to help us in an estate matter. It has been challenging to say the least with my parents getting divorced 6 months before my mom passed away and then my father passing away. My mother didn't have her ducks in a row after the divorce so her retirement had not been split, nor had she updated the beneficiaries. Jake stepped in and has been doing everything in his power to deal with my mother's retirement and fidelity. I appreciate everything he has done. He is very professional.

Andrew was my representing attorney and did a fantastic job. Millar Legal does a great job at being personable and making you feel like you truly have an advocate on yours side. When you are involved in a divorce or family matter it can be difficult to keep your wits. my divorce involved a narcissistic spouse who was dead set on making ruining me. Andrew was able to help validate my concerns and help keep me level headed and I felt confident that I could use him as a shield whenever my ex spouse would try to bait me into one of her petty arguments and fights. We were able to come to a favorable agreement through mediation, but the way the firm worked with me made me feel that IF we were going to have to go to trial, they had my back and had put together a great case. This firm was worth the money spent. You could find counsel that costs less, but I do not believe you will get the same caliber of professionalism and legal advocacy as you do with Millar Legal.

Aaron Millar was recommended to me by a neighbor to represent me in my divorce. This recommendation was reaffirmed by 2 other friends. All 3 recommending parties are practicing attorneys. Despite many shenanigans by opposing counsel, Aaron did a great job in getting to the finances. He defended my character and did not disparage my sons mother, which was important. I regard Aaron Millar as ethical, fair, well prepared and an excellent attorney.
