Hands down, Kenny Christiansen and Mindi Bartlam are a fantastic team. Although my case was complex and trying, they fought and held my hand through every step. Kenny and Mindy are professional and knowledgeable, and they made it feel more personal and considerate of the sensitive nature of our case. Kenny and Mindi have become more than excellent representations; I dare to call them friends.

I hired him first to fix some immigration issues with lost paperwork and he was able to complete everything and help successfully file petitions and everything went well. A few years later I needed criminal defense representation and unfortunately made the mistake of hiring a different popular criminal defense law firm with poor results. After smacking myself (not really) I remembered Keen Law Office also handles criminal defense and I went in for a consultation, my case was scheduled for trial and I was really hoping that would not happen and Chris Keen had a plan, came into court on my last court date before trial and made magic happen! The prosecutors were not willing to negotiate with his first idea and he still managed to get me in the best possible position I could ask for. Something my previously hired higher cost attorney could not do since he didn't have the proper immigration law background. I would absolutely recommend Keen to anyone in any immigration and/or criminal case. THANKS SO MUCH KEEN! #BESTLAWYEREVER

Chris Keen is an awesome attorney. After searching through various sites like lawyer.com, avvo and justanswer, I got hold of Chris as he was experienced in both criminal and immigration law. He was affordable and really willing to help you get out of the problem you are facing. He was able to reduce my misdemeanor to infraction and get plea in abeyance deal. IF YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT TO US and are facing some charge he is the guy. 5 star rating from me.

I met with attorney Keen to consult on an immigration matter concerning the application for citizenship process. He and his office staff were very friendly and professional. Attorney Keen went the extra mile for me and my family. He provided great insight into the whole process, what to expect and potential issues that could arise.

Neil got me out of jail! I was arrested under false pretenses. The police office lied to a judge under oath saying I was a convicted felon and on probation. 100% FALSE. Neil saw the false statement on the affidavit of probable cause and contacted the county attorney who then ordered my release and he also convinced the officials that I did not have to pay any bail. And that no restrictions would be placed upon me. Neil was an answer to my prayer. In a subsequent hearing Neil cross-examined witnesses and did an amazing job in asking questions and cross examination. Later he was able to get the criminal case 100% DISMISSED! Highly recommend.

I have been working with Neil on an employment sexual harassment case for about a year now. I have nothing but good things to say, he isn’t your average scummy lawyer, he truly cares, and works hard and trulyfights for your case! I went through 2 attorneys before finding Neil, so I know he’s one of the rare ones! Trustworthy, smart, dependable and cares! And after research, he isn’t just employment discrimination, he does it all and from what I’ve read thrives in a every area of law he practices! 5 stars NEIL SKOUSEN IS WHO EVERYONE NEEDS ON THEIR CASE!

Ron has been my attorney for a little over two years as I navigated a highly contentious divorce. I’ve also worked with his associate, Jennifer closely and often. They have been an absolute dream team. They have always looked out for the best interest of my kids and I and did everything in their power to get us through this process and into a better place so we can heal and move forward. They were always prepared, listened to my experiences and concerns, explained things well, and were often available quickly when situations would arise unexpectedly but needed attention. Ron is wonderful at balancing the line of keeping peace and avoiding conflict when possible, but being aggressive and an advocate when he needs to be. Every time we were in court he was prepared, quick with information and answers, and aware of even the smallest details of my case. I had complete confidence in him in the courtroom, which brought me some peace in very stressful situations. Jennifer is adept in the legal world and has always been able to answer my questions and help me understand the process. But the most beautiful thing about her is she can do that while still holding space for compassion and empathy for the ways this experience affects a person emotionally. That’s not an easy combination to find in an attorney. Ron and Jennifer saw me as a person, not just as another one of their many clients. They trusted me as much as I trusted them and believed in me during the times it was hard for me to believe in myself. They guided me with great legal advice while still allowing me to trust my gut, they always had my back. As things are finally coming to a close, I am infinitely grateful that I had them in my corner during the hardest part of my life. Heritage Law lived up to its name, because the ways they helped me and my kids will undoubtedly have a positive ripple effect in our family for many generations to come.

10 stars! Ron Wilkinson & his team are the most honorable people I’ve ever met!. I can’t recommend them enough. They have worked extremely hard on my case for many years now & I will continue to use them. They stand for truth & justice. They are very professional & understanding. Me & my dear son will be forever grateful. I really can’t put it in to words on how deeply grateful I am! Thanks for all you have done & currently doing! Extremely grateful! Amazing job team!

Before we hired Ron Wilkinson we read reviews and wondered if the poor reviews were credible since they seemed so different compared to the good reviews. Well, after experiencing Ron Wilkinson firsthand for ourselves, we can confirm the poor reviews about him are credible. When we had our consultation, Ron told us quote, “I can probably get this case resolved with one phone call.” And he said that we would get the rest of our “retainer back to spend on Christmas.” We understood it wasn't a guarantee but that it was a good probability he could get the case resolved with one promised phone call since that is what he told us. Ron never made that promised phone call. We emailed him and called the office countless times over the next 6 weeks. We did not receive replies to our emails or any callbacks. We finally scheduled a phone call in advance to speak with Ron, which costs almost $400 an hour. We asked Ron if he made that one phone call yet that he promised us. He seemed surprised we remembered him promising he would make this phone call and that he probably could get this case resolved on that one phone call and that we expected him to make that call. He said the individual he was going to call was hard to get a hold of. We did not believe he was telling us the truth. Another time opposing counsel sent us a very harassing email on a Thursday filled with lies and threatening sanctions (court fines) against us if we didn't reply by Monday. We called Ron's office, we emailed Ron and forwarded onto him the harassing email. Ron never called us back, never emailed us back. We made it clear this was an emergency and we heard nothing but crickets. We had to reply to the email ourselves and represent ourselves in order to get the email back to this other unprofessional attorney by Monday. It is almost impossible to communicate with Ron. He does not reply to emails or return phone calls. If you want to talk on the phone, you have to schedule a call weeks in advance for almost $400 an hour. But there are times when emergencies or situations arise that you need a relatively quick response. Then when you do get a rare chance to talk to him, it's very difficult to bring up your concerns to him as he gets easily triggered and he has a short temper. Ron even told us he gets easily triggered. We were scared to say anything to him. Ron often engages in manipulative gas-lighting techniques where he creates a false narrative and tries to place the blame for his irresponsible actions onto us and blame us for his bad actions. As one example he would accuse us of not listening when Ron is the one who was not listening to us. The ultimate betrayal was when Ron falsely told the court we agreed to things which we absolutely did NOT agree to. Ron or his office also engage in falsifying their bills. As one specific example we were charged $720 for witnesses being served subpoenas. However only 4 witnesses were subpoenaed at a cost of $18.50 each which would be a total of $74, not $720. When we point this out to both Ron and his office asking them what is going on with the billing, we again receive no response. We also had to do a lot of babysitting. We had to constantly call and email over and over and over to make sure things are getting done. For example, we called multiple times about correctly scheduling something. We were finally told there were about 5 dates to choose from and we would get a call back to get our permission to schedule the time and place. About a week goes by with no one calling us back. So we have to call into the office again. And we are told that the thing was scheduled without ever talking to us. And this thing was scheduled at a time we could NOT make and at a place we clearly did NOT agree to. So we have to spend more time and more money getting it rescheduled and fixed to the correct place. In short, instead of us being properly represented, there were multiple times we were misrepresented by our own counsel.

Refused to give me my case files (discovery) for months, lied he was going to give them repeatedly on recorded phone calls with him, was an active public defender on my case while his license to practice in Utah was under suspension due to non payment of his license fees, refused to consult with me when he took it on his own to withdraw a motion for a change of plea, refused to reply/respond to the Office of Professional Conduct when my complaints brought him under their investigation. In a spring 2021 hearing by the panel of the Utah Supreme Court of Conduct and Ethics he basically laughed at him having been summoned there, stopped laughing when the Utah Supreme Court of Ethics and Conduct found all allegations of mine to be factual when they sentenced him (again-see 2015 case aswell) to a public reprimand. Greg Stewart is now happily under the wing of the Juab County, Utah Public Pretender's office, likely active in violating more clients, going for the 3rd reprimand.

In 2011 Gregory V. Steward with law offices in Provo at the time took $1,049 with a contract to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He never talked to her again after that. There was no evidence he did any work for her at all. The Bar was notified, but never followed up.
