Robert is an excellent attorney with deep knowledge about bankruptcy. He was able to help me find solutions to some complex legal issues.

Robert was amazing! He made a stressful experience super easy, was very personable and talked us through the whole process. Even the court date wasn't bad, because he helped us know exactly what to expect. And he's very easy to get a hold of. Definitely recommend!

After calling several lawyers as well as having a horrible experience with a lawyer who said that he was going to do something and didn't do any, I was so relived to talk to Mike on the phone. His staff was very nice and I got rid of my old lawyer who made promises and did nothing - and got working with Ascent Law Firm. They are great. I get messages through their website and they are on the ball. It's nice to have a lawyer that has focused on me as a person and not just on making money off of me. These people are different. They see you as a person, not just a number.

Excellent Service! They have been prompt in their responses as well. I highly recommend.

If I could give Robert 100 stars I would. I was terrified to go through my bankruptcy, and had no knowledge about the process or outcome, a typical lawyer would not have cut it for me. He genuinely cared about me and my financial situation. From the first moment I contacted him he was patient and thorough with me with nothing in return. I was being garnished, and in result my paychecks were destroying my finances. A couple weeks after contacting him and interviewing several other lawyers I was working directly with my payroll company to figure it out. I found out about noon that I would have to be filed that day to stop garnishment by that pay period. I called Robert in a frenzy, I had been sure I had wanted to hire him... but didn't realize I was on a deadline for another $250 to be taken from my next check. I was able to retain him that day, and low and behold since he got me filed by that day I got a refund from the garnishment out of my next check!! This is a very detailed review, but I was amazed by his success with my bankruptcy! He stayed in contact with my long after we were squared, making sure I paid my installments to the court on time, and did my final class to receive my discharge. I will refer him to anyone needing help with financial matters, as he was a personal reference from a coworker as well. If every lawyer was like Robert Payne the world would be a better place!

Robert always answered all my questions and was very prompt and detailed with his responses. He explained the process of filing bankruptcy in a way that is easy to understand and made the filing process simple. I was referred to Robert by a good friend of mine that I used to work with and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a bankruptcy attorney.

We are very pleased with our experience using Mr Payne's services. He really knows what he is doing. We highly recommend him!

Robert "The Payne 💰 Reliever" is by far the BEST debt-solutions, bankruptcy attorney, friend, knowledgeable counselor, persistent, professional, humorous with a very positive kind disposition thru difficult & stressful issues... I could have ever hoped for! He is/was The WISEST Attorney I have been privileged to work with, heard of, or known. I interviewed several before making my decision. After a very long, difficult and complicated process... having been diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer. (He literally saved my life, thru giving me peace of mind) In addition to solving many complicated issues & various questions over a period of years, Robert Payne was the Master of painless answers! His name "Payne" Will ever resonate in my mind & life for the betterment of my family! His counsel is & has been the best wonder drug pill that I never had to take physically! Especially in comparison to the NASTY Chemo-therapy & Radiation prescribed to me by the other Great Institution that saved my life. "Master Payne" you will ever resonate in my cancerous, cantankerous, half crazy😜 fun-loving mind as a modern day saivior, stress reliever, & burden lifter in life, for the betterment of my children & myself. The consistent counseling you gave so freely in regards debt burden, medical bill relief, complicated life solutions & dedicated to sharing "Ever-so-Important Title of being the Best Father" possible for this humble family guy.... you have been the most amazing wonder drug pill, that I actually never had to physically take!!! {I was the kind of guy holding down two or three jobs, a nearly 800 & proud of it credit score, being the very best man I could, driving truck, being a construction super-intendent + moonlighting as a real estate agent}, when out of no where the A-bomb 💥 of brain cancer & all its fun complications was dropped on me¡😱 Master Payne 💰 was to the point, correct, often humorous (to help me remember) yet very serious & professional at the same time in the wise, be patient advice he gave. Not to mention very timely in all of his responses, even when often times he was busy with more important clients in court. I could always expect an answer within about a half a day or usually faster. To many, urgent, difficult questions that usually other attorneys would try to charge extra for. Sir Robert Payne, 👑 THANK-YOU ForEve...r from this humble little Bird's 🐦 nest Family for giving us a little more time together & making the difficult times in life much more bearable! 🌞 You were a God-sent blessing in our lives! ☃️🔥🎄🐥👁❤️👨🏻‍🎓👍🏻 I would highly recommend him to anyone & all family & friends because he was so amazing in giving solutions that compensates debetors fairly, provided confidentiality, prudent lasting solutions & he is an AMAZING Father, fantastic Mr.🦊 attorney + all around great guy! 😎

I wanted to tell you about my experience with Ascent Law. My experience is likely different than others. I used to live in Utah and because of work and re-marriage I moved to Chicago. My ex refused to let me leave with the kids. I hired Ascent to get a change of custody. I don't really want to share all of the details but I do want to say that the attorneys at Ascent Law and the staff are very responsive and helpful. One of the attorneys even told me how to do it myself if I didn't want to hire the law firm. I thought that was nice. I did hire them and the case resolved quicker because of the ability to negotiate that Mike has. I really appreciate them, so if you need a divorce lawyer in Utah call Ascent Law.

Going through a divorce in Utah is awful. Using Mike was wonderful. All I can say is he made a difficult process bearable.

I have actually worked with Mike and also some of his various other partners several times on issues varying from child support and custody in divorce to corporations and trust concerns when my dad passed away. I have always discovered them to be reasonably priced, responsive, and honest. I have recommended Ascent Law firm to my friends and family. I have used different attorneys in the past and I have found Mike and Greg at Ascent Law to be the most effective attorneys for me. They can be aggressive when it is needed. They do not run the bill up unnecessarily, they get things done and inform me if I have downsides to my case, but most importantly, they go through the issues with me and make sure we get what I want most accomplished.

This review summarizes my experiences with Ascent Law, good and bad. Before delving into that, it is important to stress that overall I am pleased with the services they provided. With Ascent Law's assistance, I am free of a certain toxic, negative and deceitful influence. This has dramatically improved my well-being, and my financial status remains undamaged. I am immensely grateful to the firm for their assistance in this. Everyone I worked with during my lawsuit was friendly. The lawyers and staff always make me feel welcome - in fact, because of this I typically insist on coming into the firm for meetings rather than phone calls. When I first met with Jeremy Eveland, he explained my options and the cost of the retainer. I was assured that I had a good case, so we moved forward with it. In the next phase of my lawsuit, some of Jeremy's recommended filings proved fruitless and resulted in additional, unnecessary expenses. Because of this I made a choice against another of Jeremy's suggestions later on. He did not explain possible consequences of this, which resulted in misunderstanding the defendant's case prior to trial. I was not made aware that the retainer was an initial payment. It was a complete surprise to receive a bill for services beyond the retainer midway through the case, and I was shocked at the billing rate. I approached the financial staff about it, but they were unwilling to budge on the total even though I had never been advised on the hourly cost. Regardless, I paid my current bill in total, dipping into a 401k in order to do so. After paying it, I was advised that the firm's billing system had not been charging me the correct amount. My real bill was almost double! Had I known the rate at which the costs had accumulated, I would have made some different choices during the case. Just weeks prior to the court date, Jeremy assigned my case to another lawyer, Michael Anderson. Mike is quite amiable, and we get along well. I greatly enjoyed working with him. Unfortunately, when we went to trial it did not go as well as we had expected. While Mike did the best he could, as he hadn't fielded the case from the start there may have been subtleties which he did not quite grasp. We failed to summon a key witness to corroborate much of my side. Our strategy resulted in agreeing to amend a portion of the agreement central to the lawsuit. Between that and a bad ruling from the judge in an otherwise well-settled area of law, this resulted in awarding me an unfairly lesser sum from the initial agreement. After suffering this loss, I've been working on paying off a sizable bill from the firm. During the case and for over a year afterward, I was frequently billed extra - interest the firm charges despite an agreement we have with regards to how much I pay each month. I'm always assured that this is erroneous; however, it was lost on me as to why I must always follow up to ensure proper totals. Additionally, several months ago I was called by a member of the financial staff and told quite rudely that the amount I had been paying was insufficient and that they need more per month. Between these two issues, it felt very much like harassment. Recently, I approached Jeremy again with the concerns I have expressed above regarding the billing during the course of my case. He expressed understanding and sympathy, and had his financial staff ensure that the amounts I had been billed were fair and only for billable work. Mike later called and advised that he has taken ownership of the firm, and we have worked out a new, much more manageable total for my bill. Sometimes lawsuits don't go the way you expect. It happens. Overall, the assistance provided by Ascent Law is of lasting benefit to me, and I am delighted to continue to employ their services.
