Had a credit union mistakenly apply my payment 2 days later than I should have missing my statement and date. They said they fixed the mistake and I will see this correction on my next statement but the issue is it was reported to the bureaus with wrong amount prior to them correcting this. The amount is over $16k so this is making a huge impact on my credit score/utilization/total balances and ability to get approved for new credit. Well, I fixed my credit and got rid off my debts with the help of PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST whom a trusted friend recommended and he did a perfect job increasing my credit score to (801 TransUnion, 805 Experian, 807 Equifax) all credit card debts are marked as paid, public record, bankruptcy and hard inquiries are all gone. I’m so happy. I refer this great hacker to those who have a fixed date to fix their credit profile. Text PINNACLE ON +1 (585) 466 4373. Tell them Tricia Walton Referred you.

Working with Scott was a total pleasure! A few things I liked about working with him was as follows:
1. He was very quick to communicate with me. Normally no longer than 60 minutes to reply to an email and 30 minutes to a phone call.
2. He was very open and willing to give advice when it was needed.
3. He brought in experts when it was needed.
4. When I was the bottle neck he was consistent on the reminders that he would send to me. This was very helpful as I am busy and sometimes need reminders.
I would 100% use Scott Epperson again and would highly recommend using him!

Scott is very knowledgable and experienced with Medical Malpractice and suggests wise and calculated decisions. He is non-judgmental and comforting when under the stress of a lawsuit. I had the most pleasant experience in a lawsuit anyone can have thanks to Scott.

Being sued for malpractice after 35 years of successful practice was disheartening and depressing. Scott was very warm and friendly and reassuring. He was very prompt in answering my questions and messages and phone calls. He was careful to not predict outcomes but was very clear and concise on the process and and explained very carefully and patiently how events might play out. It felt like he truly had my interests at heart and instead of acting like an attorney hired to represent me - he was resolutely on my side.
I hope I never have the occasion to need a malpractice attorney in the future but, heaven forbid, if so, the prospect is much less ominous now because I know Attorneys like Scott Epperson and his firm are there to help me through it.

An attorney who I had worked with for 2 years referred me to Eric Olson as an excellent litigation attorney when my case stalled. Eric was thorough, strategic and very knowledgeable. He moved the case forward even when there were a few curveballs. I grew to have great confidence in his expertise. The case was settled in mediation with a result that I feel is fair and am quite happy with.

Eric represented me in my personal injury case. It was clear from the start that Eric is an expert in such cases and knows exactly what he is doing. His confidence helped me to feel confident moving forward. I got a settlement that I am very happy with.
More importantly, he carries himself with class and integrity. Eric is truly compassionate and clearly has high standards of morals and ethics. He took time to answer all of my questions and explain what would happen next. I recommend him to anyone needing representation for personal injury.

Eric was brought into my case after it had been with another firm for over a year. Once Eric was brought on board things really started happening for my case and he made sure I understood the process. Eric really made me feel like he cared for me and my family and always gave me GREAT advice. In return, I would help him find the best fishing spots :) I always felt like Eric was shooting me straight and didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. I will definitely recommend Eric to anybody looking for an advocate type lawyer. Eric and I also developed a friendship. I never felt like I was just another client.
Thank you Eric!

Jessica brings an uncompromising professionalism to personal injury practice. I have had the pleasure of working side-by-side with her as co-counsel on several cases and she has been superb in every discussion and interaction. She treats clients, co-counsel, opposing counsel, and others with dignity and respect. I wholeheartedly recommend her to prospective clients and fellow attorneys looking for a strong co-counsel. Where Jessica goes, great outcomes will follow.

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.

J. Tyler Martin provides great service. He is easy to talk to you and keeps you informed at all times. He is great at seeking out all information and providing clear details to help you understand. He is trustworthy and compassionate; he will do everything within his power to serve you. He was able to inform with what was going to happen with my case, I went into everything knowing what was happening. He did a great job and I would work with him again without a doubt. He is professional, hard working, and easy to talk with. I had questions after my case and he responded to my questions without hesitation, he is most definitely someone I would work with going forward.

If you are looking for a defense attorney you are looking for someone to wrestle with the court on your behalf. I saw Kirk's professionalism in my case and in several others. He is not afraid of litigation and he will find something to say about you in your defense because he studies your case with you and takes notes. Intelligent, respectful attorney is whom you need in hard times!

My wife needed a lower back spinal fusion that should have been relatively straightforward. She was seriously injured by a careless doctor incorrectly performing a non-traditional back surgery that she did not have the skill to perform. It left her with a paralyzed right leg and a drastic impact on the quality of our lives. We contacted Yonker-Hyde-McFarlane to represent us in a medical malpractice suit. OMG, these guys are so impressive! Ashton and his team uncovered things about the surgery that we had no idea had happened. His skills arguing our case to an arbitration panel were extraordinary. We very highly recommend Ashton and his fantastic team of legal experts!!

Though I am an attorney, I asked Chuck to represent me in a personal injury matter last year (I practice a very different kind of law, I figured I would get a PI pro to handle my case). He was a powerful negotiator and the matter was resolved quickly, with the results far exceeding my expectations. In addition to being a great attorney, he is also a great person. Consider Chuck for your PI needs.

I had an accident last year that wasn't my fault, and Siegfried & Jensen took my case. I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From the beginning, they took the time to explain every detail of the process, ensuring I understood what to expect. They were always available to answer any questions I had, which gave me great peace of mind.
The entire process was incredibly easy. I only had to visit their office twice—once to sign the necessary papers and once to pick up my check. This level of efficiency meant I didn't have to constantly follow up; they took care of everything for me.
Special thanks to Zane and Ashlyn, who were always professional and kind. They handled all the details, from coordinating my physical therapy to ensuring I received the attention I needed. I highly recommend Siegfried & Jensen for anyone needing legal assistance after an accident. They made a stressful situation much more manageable.

In writing real estate contracts he is able to think of all the "outs" we need for due diligence. He's responsive and makes time for you. His understanding of real estate is vast and he's truly an expert at his craft. Thanks Michael!

Jonny fought Hertz Rental, tooth and nail, for almost three years. When the settlement check finally arrived, he fought just as hard to save me (and only me) money on medical liens. Talk about going above and beyond! Cherry on top? Bob asked my wife and me to stop by on our next stroll so he could meet our 6-month-old baby.

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.

Took two months of waiting and hounding the attorney I was engaged with to actually get back some legal templates. When I did receive them, they contained the wrong information. Just got the bill...$900 for absolutely nothing in return that was useful and maybe a 30 minute consult before actually signing any engagement letter. I would not recommend these guys for any services.

I've tried over and over to get set up with this firm and I am now convinced this is a brokerage company because it has taken so long to get appointments then they don't even show up at appointments. I was tricked by the other reviews. They have wasted precious time and scheduling for me and I feel like I was just a number that they didn't care about.

Ladies, if you are getting divorced, this is the place you want to go, specifically Bart Johnson's team. Bart in particular will comfort and console you and even take you to his home in the avenues and sleep with you. Pictures of him and his clients have been taken exiting and kissing outside of his home, he prefers women of authority, like a doctor or a principal at a school as examples. If you want them to win a case for you however, that is where they lack. They file a lot, but don't succeed in much other than waste your money but at least you get screwed in more ways than one.

I engaged John Snow to represent me in March of 2023 with the only request being to remove a Trustee who had embezzled millions of dollars from a family Trust. The issue with it was that it implicates Kirton McConkie in the fraud so I made certain Parsons Behle had no problem going after “The Lords Lawyers” to which John responded “of course not”
On April 14th 2013 he issued a letter to KMC law requesting answers to various questions but in the end has nothing to do with removing the Trustee.
KMC Law refused to respond and John brought in Angus Edwards and Mindy Kids to assist. On June 7th or almost two months later Mr Edwards sent the exact letter knowing there would be no response..
August 9th 2023 the three attorneys filed an unrelated derivative claim against my siblings but did confirm the KMC fraud within the body; but just refused to add KMC as a defendant in this $100M estate case.
August 18th The attorneys filed amended complaint forgetting to add the summons. They refiled three weeks later on Sept 12th but forgot to verify the complaint.
Oct 3rd; I complained to John Snow via emails to which he responded “I do not have the time to read or respond to your questions and we are “done”!
I paid approx $75k in fees and accruals to have a trustee removed and instead I was dropped the day before the hearing in which I was forced to go pro se against KMC who Judge Faust let off with a false Jurisdiction issue.
He wasted 7 months of my life; took all of my money; and left me with no representation to face the law firm who refuses to account for my parents $100m estate which has been embezzled by my sister and Craig McCullough through “The Old Switcheroo”…
Please review case# 230905835 wherein John Snow states Mr McCullough KMC Law has a Professional Conflict of interest and everything the law firm did should be “void”
When asked why he refused to go after KMC Law and stand behind his words; he responded “just because I said it does not mean it is true”.
All that Parsons and the three attorneys needed to say last March is “sorry; we have a conflict of interest”. But chose instead to breach their fiduciary duty to me and my daughters in favor of apparently keeping their fiduciary duty to the most prestigious religiously affiliated law firm in Utah..
I’m speechless as to how cold hearted and ruthless these attorneys are I’ve been dealing with for four years while being prohibited to see my own dad who is still alive and abandoned by KMC Law who he paid hundreds of thousands in fees to have them protect him; and not my sister Lisa Stephens and her husband Bryan..
Greed is a terrible curse..

Thought he was a good lawyer, went through depositions in a personal injury case. Ryan and Christian Burridge abandoned me after that, never heard from them again, until mr. Burridge notified me he was withdrawing from my case leaving Ryan as my council. I tried to call him with the number provided, facebook, every means I could think of. I finally gave up, but I would suggest you seriously reconsider if your thinking of hiring him. You would never know if he abandoned you too. I would have been ok if he a least told me he needed to drop the case, but nothing, really. Not professional.

Ryan is a dedicated and straight forward attorney. He's assisted me with multiple cases as a Hired Attorney. He never boasts anything he is unable to deliver. He'll tell you how it is from the beginning and will go above and beyond the scope of his responsibilities to see you taken care off. He operates on a professional platform but his sincerity is so genuine he'll come off as a friend. I've seen him perform in court. He fearlessly defends his clients, putting himself at risk in the process because that's the level of commitment he brings to the table. I'd highly recommend him to any family member, friend, or stranger in need of his legal services.

I had some criminal charges that were affecting my license with DOPL. I consulted with Ryan and he not only helped me save my professional license, he worked on the criminal case to get the charges dismissed. Although the process was very stressful, Ryan was intelligent and understanding with me and my wife. He got the case against me dismissed and represented me in the licensing case. He was really well prepared and honestly made the state attorney look bad. I would highly recommend Ryan as an attorney.

Attorney Karra Porter said she would send a gramma request to get a 911 call and other police records for our family. After a month or two I called back to follow up and her paralegal stated that they had forgot to do it due to a family emergency but that they would definitely still do it. After another month or so I called back to see if there were any updates and was not called back. Over a period of close to 4-6 months they have not returned my phone calls or voicemails. At one point the receptionist told me that Karra would call me back the next day and she did not. If they were not interested or willing to look into this I would have found another attorney. But both Karra and her paralegal said they would do this for me and they did not; or if they have done it they have not given me any updates. Due to this delay we have now passed the 1 year mark of my family member’s passing and may not be able to hold the city accountable if there was in fact any neglect of duty. I believed that Karra was sincere in her willingness to help out my family but due to either her failure to act or failure to inform us of any actions taken, she has done our family more harm than if she would have simply declined.
