Spencer and Liz (paralegal) are a fantastic team. I'm understating their importance to each other. I'm a firm believer they compliment each other very well. Spencer was hired as a guardian ad litem. The recommendation came from the attorney of my son's mother to use him to represent my son. So I owe him a huge thank you. For those who may be unfamiliar, the purpose of a guardian ad litem is to represent the minor's best interest. Spencer was detailed and thorough. He met with my son on multiple occasions. He spoke with additional professionals who offered perspective. A recommendation wasn't rendered until Spencer felt he had as many answers to the questions as he needed before making a decision. I'm grateful and appreciative he choose to be thorough and exhaustive in the process. Fast forward to the final result, my son is now in my custody. If you're looking for an attorney who doesn't cut corners or take short cuts, who genuinely attempts to make the most informed decision using as much information as can be gleaned, he is the attorney you'll wish you had.

Spencer came to us early in his career. Not only did he impress us with his straight-forward honesty as to the outcomes, he has a kind demeanor and you know he really cares about the law and what is right. I do know him outside the courtroom, but that is the reason I had him by our side when our family needed a lawyer. Unfortunately this is one service that excellence is something you never have to use again. This is our case. Many years later and we are back in court with Mr. Ricks defending our side. No matter the outcome, we know he did his job more than any lawyer we've ever had; and we've had a few.

Spencer is a professional, knowledgeable attorney who is also a pleasure to work with. He has an in-depth understanding of Utah family law and has been a savvy, yet honest advocate for me throughout my divorce. Spencer has integrity. I always know he has the best interest of my son at heart, rather than simply going for "big wins" for the sake of prestige. Spencer has been a transparent and timely communicator. He keeps me well-informed when we have to make difficult decisions and I am never left in the dark or worried about the progress of my case. His paralegal Liz is also excellent in this area. Every step is a team effort and they work well and quickly in tandem. Spencer also has a great sense of humor! He appropriately keeps things light in otherwise heavy conversations. I would highly recommend Sencer Ricks as an advocate for anyone seeking representation in family law in the state of Utah.

Spencer was a fabulous attorney! He was concise, practical, honest and much more as I navigated a divorce for one year. His skills during litigation were invaluable as I struggled to express my thoughts to the judge. Without his strong closing argument, I doubt I would have won a fair and equitable settlement.

Spencer and Liz, are awesome they fought hard for me and got Me the results I was looking for. Very professional and was readily available to answer any of my questions. Overall very satisfied thank you for your hard work.

I retained Spencer Ricks following recommendation from a family member. Spencer had provided phenomenal counsel for the divorce of a family friend. I immediately appreciated Spencer Rick's no-nonsense compassion. He cut straight to the legal concerns, and identified appropriate strategies for my divorce. He was easy to converse with, very communicative, and explained legal-ease in understandable layman's terms. Spencer Ricks also got me the best possible outcome for a father fighting to be involved with my children. Spencer is 100% dedicated to family law. He has great report with other family lawyers in Utah. In fact, Spencer Rick's reputation among his peers may have been the most valuable component in my case. He was capable of persuading the opposing counsel/client to understand the case from multiple perspectives and be willing to value the importance of compromise. It was not an easy case. Spencer had to navigate through multiple responses, temporary hearing, requests for discovery, and an extended mediation. But he set a course, and captained the case to a reasonable and successful conclusion. Retaining Spencer Ricks to represent me in divorce was the best decision I made for my family. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Spencer has been a godsend for our family. My partner hired Spencer to assist him with ongoing difficulties regarding his joint custody agreement. Spencer has calmly led us through the preparation for all of our legal events, offering wise and timely advice whilst preparing the strongest possible legal arguments for our case. His written legal prose is powerful, and to hear him in action in the court setting is eye-opening. He is a model orator. He speaks clearly, concisely, and factually, whilst painting a vivid, powerful narrative. Spencer’s intellect and candor are unmatched. His staff at Carrwoodall are always responsive and polite. If you are in the market for a true professional, you owe it to yourself to hire Spencer.

Spencer Ricks and staff including Liz and Cindy have taken so much stress off my challenging divorce situation. Professional and prompt to return my calls, work with my individual needs, and communicate with me on a legal, but down to earth manner. Hire these people if you want positive results

Divorce is probably one of the hardest parts of life you go thru. Having a great attorney helps tremendously. Spencer and his paralegal Liz have made my life wonderful again. He makes everything easier and is very trustworthy.

Spencer Ricks was professional and completely upfront with process and challenge on my case. He is very versed in family law and will most definitely guide you through the heavy challenges of divorce. Thank you Spencer!

Spencer was fantastic to work with - very straight forward, consultative and fair. He set expectations with me as to what was realistic and how to come to a fair outcome for both parents and the kids. I highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce, especially involving custody.

Spencer and his team went above and beyond from the get go. On my initial call he was very upfront and real about the process I was about to go though. He was with me every step of the way and always kept me informed of all that was going on. Spencer was always just a phone call or email away if I had any questions or concerns. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for me. I couldn't ask for a better person to represent me. His hard work and dedication to his clients is unmatched in my opinion.
