Oh my goodness where to start!! GRANT DICKINSON is the best!! He has been our lawyer since 2014. He has helped us get temporarily permanent custody of my step son and we are going for sole custody! It has been a long road! Grant was always honest with us instead leading us down a road that would cost us money and wouldn't achieve anything. His patience and expertise is why we have been able to remove an innocent child from a bad situation! I don't have patience and would say I'm a needy client lol so I would call on whim and Grant would take my call even if I didn't have an appointment. One night I emailed him at 9 pm because there had been an incident and he replied right away and gave us instruction on what to do that night. Then we called first thing in the morning a little after 8 and where put right through to Grant! He again gave us instructions on what do to and we had my step in our care later that day. The staff was always friendly and helpful when I called or if I needed information! I would give Grant 10 stars if I could.

Thank you Grant for making sure my modification is being pushed through and the ledger is changed for my current and back child support. You also made ors take the Lein off my bank account. I appreciate your work!

Good to work with.

Moody Brown Law is exceptional. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They are extremely good at what they do. The entire office is very kind and understanding. I would recommend them to everyone.

A split review - Marilyn was fantastic, we highly recommend her. However, if you get assigned to someone else in her office (like we did after Marilyn represented us), go elsewhere. We definitely felt he was playing the good 'ole boy and was more focused on kissing up to the judge and opposing counsel far more than representing us. He did nothing we asked. Because it was such a cut and dried case, we won the financial portion, but lost the kids completely (which was FAR more important). The judge had chosen AND appointed a psychiatrist for the family. He (the judge chosen counselor) said he had never (in his 30 yrs of practice) seen such a horrible case of alienation (that the mother was doing). When this next hearing came, the judge said his very own choice was too prejudicial and threw all his recommendations (as well as the thousands spent to have the court ordered sessions) and the MOODY attorney did NOTHING. I could go on and on with what we consider gross malpractice (the appointed guardian ad litem [Jackman] said he'd be glad to bring a coke to one of the kids if we brought it to him and paid him $150 - no joke or exaggeration) - but it would take too long to type it all. If you don't have a guarantee of Marilyn the ENTIRE time (even after the main divorce hearing), do not choose Moody Brown. I want to give a negative star review, but Marilyn is better than that. ps - our daughter's name shows up as the reviewer, not ours.

10 STARS! ABSOLUTE BEST ATTORNEY IN UTAH!!!!! We searched EVERYWHERE for a good attorney, and a friend recommended Marilyn, saying she was the best attorney in Utah. She was right! Marilyn is FANTASTIC. She was able to get all of my paperwork in and filed before the other party's attorneys even had the chance to get a pen! She handled all of my issues promptly, answered every question I had, was a PIT-BULL in the courtroom, and I even got full custody of my son and uncovered hidden money that was eventually handed to me! She was well worth the price we paid. I highly recommend her, and the other attorneys in her office are excellent also, very professional and precise.

I paid a fortune for these legal services. After paying over 5,000 in legal fees. I was in the same situation. My mediation was a complete mess and cost me over $250 an hour. My retention was used up before anything was accomplished. I felt very poorly represented. I ended up having to represent myself to get anything done. I don't feel I was well informed of my options. I always dealt with a paralegal, but got billed the same. Unless you can afford to keep forking out thousands and thousands of dollars, you will be put at the bottom of the list and your money will dry up fast. I would never recommend this law firm to anyone. When i called to say how I felt, no one even bothered asking why or how they could help. I was sent a final bill, with added charges to discontinue legal advice.
