We were beyond pleased with the professional, pro-active, and supportive experience we had with Justin. We hired Justin to help our son with a legal issue in Logan. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, which gave us confidence and piece of mind. As our case had some specific nuances with little precedent in Utah, Justin did his own research and read the information suggested by my son to make sure he was both fully prepared for any legal implications and to understand my son's reasons for involvement.
Justin personally guided us through multiple court appearances. I really appreciated his willingness to be available to my son and us for questions and concerns as the process continued.
Along the way, Justin was pro-active in working with the prosecutor which resulting in having some of the charges reduced and some dismissed. In the final court appearance for sentencing, Justin responded quickly to an unexpected comment from the judge and pressed just enough to reach a wonderful outcome.

I got myself into a bit of trouble and sought out the most reputable lawyer in Salt Lake City and his thorough and detailed attention can’t be overstated. I always felt that I was in safe hands through the entire process. This was my first time dealing with the court system and I don’t live in Utah so it was a pretty confusing situation. Justin was honest and forthright with all angles, from the what ifs and what could be to this is what will probably happen. He was right every step of the way and I can’t recommend his services enough.

Jeremy will fight HARD for your rights under the constitution and law. Goes the extra mile to even meet with me on a holiday... you wont find better than Jeremy Delicino.

Phil represented my boyfriend in a criminal justice case today. Phil remained his composure and elloquence throughout the entire proceedings. I honestly felt as though Phil had a greater grasp on the law than the judge did himself. There were many times during the hearing that things felt unjust or bias in favor of the prosecution and the entire process was disheartening to say the least. Phil remained positive and professional so that each rebuttal made was well received by the jury despite many odds being stacked against him. His intelligence and proficiency in the law was uncanny. Ultimately he was able to convince the jury to find my boyfriend “not guilty” and words can’t express the gratitude I have for all of Phil’s dedication to the case. At times Phil’s silence was unsettling, but rest assured, it is because he is calculating his next move and hyperfocusing on the most pressing tasks at hand. I would highly recommend Phil for anyone seeking proficient council in matters of the law. Thank you, Phil.

This is the most dedicated team of criminal defense attorneys that I have seen. As a practicing lawyer, if I ever have a referral for a criminal defense attorney I direct them to Brown, Bradshaw, and Moffat, particularly Mike Holje. Mike is an excellent person and lawyer. You know that if you hire Mike to represent you, you will be getting his absolute best, no matter what the charge or evidence is. Mike is incredibly intelligent and is always looking for a theory to help his clients prevail. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Mike as your lawyer, or any lawyer at BBM.

Mr. Paul saved my life and my career in Unit States by helping me to fighting with my case, Since my girlfriend and I are both very emotional, we had a minor argument while driving and ended up being involved with the police because of some conflicts. However, due to some misunderstandings, the police arrested me and defined it as domestic violence. This was a shame for me and I stayed in jail for a night. Finally, since I was not familiar with Salt Lake City, I randomly made a few calls to local law firms. Finally, Mr. Paul was very patient in helping me and my girlfriend what to do when he received my call for the first time. In the end, the case was dismissed, and he used the shortest time to do more efficient things. And when he has time, he will teach me like an elder.

He never gave me information about my case. Every time I would contact him he was on vacation and would inform me that he will contact me once he gets back to his office. That never occurred, then I receive an email saying "Testing... testing..."!! No information about my case and expected me to pay $300 more because of that email. I missed the court date and haven't been able to track down my ex-wife since.
If you like throwing your money away, this is where to do it.

Mark Wiser, might talk the talk and making you believe that he will defend you and will on a few “written” responses, leading you to believe he has your back, but when it comes down to it and when you need him the most. He CAVES like a WET NOODLE. NOT the man you want to take to a gun fight or war because he is cahoots with the enemy and $$
He is unorganized,, scatter, and can’t keep his cases straight let alone be on top of yours.
His best quality is making sure his invoice and billing are sent out on time.

If you are looking for a law firm that will represent you with high integrity, professionalism, and transparency, I highly recommend Wiser & Wiser. I used a different firm before switching to Wiser and Wiser. I am extremely grateful I made the switch. Not only do they have an extraordinary level of legal knowledge and detail, the Wisers also have a keen understanding of the analytical, strategic, and political landscape of legalese.
I have also been impressed with their team approach and how they work concurrently to ensure there are no gaps in casework. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for this law firm that has restored my confidence in the legal system. I strongly endorse and recommend Wiser & Wiser for the most critical and complex cases at the highest level.

I didn't even comprehend before I had Sarah represent me that an attorney could be so terrible. She does way more harm than good. I was completely transparent with her, went into detail about everything. She listens and nods, as if it's all sinking in. She had my case for months and right before we are scheduled to talk to the judge she told me I didn't have a case. My ex is a diagnosed sociopath. She had no clue about parental alienation and she's a family law attorney. IMO she shouldn't even have a law license.

Sarah advised me many times to do things that ended up causing more harm than good and just cost more money. She was not able to handle the stress of my case and had a hard time “winning” on any level. When I confronted her with my concerns, she was rude, condescending and belittling. I would not reccomend her to anyone.

Was in a lengthy custody battle and just in general with my sons mother we were never married. Throughout Sarah and her assistant were there every step of the way even at one point I was granted full temporary custody as a man in Utah that happens very little. She's a truly caring person that will give you your money's worth. Utah needs to be better about enforcing law and about realizing sex is just that and has no bearing on who is better for a child. In reality both are best separate or not cause at times one or the other may not be the better parent. For a situation so complex Sarah is a good person to have to help you through it.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?
A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
- Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
- Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
- Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
- Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
- Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.
How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?
Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
- Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.
Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.
How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:
- Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
- Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.
Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.
Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer
Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will you personally handle my child’s case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court. -
What rights does my child have?
Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.
How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
- School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
- CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
