    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: This company is extremely dishonest. They somehow were able to remove my husbands review! My husband used this company when he was involved in a domestic violence case. We are currently searching for a lawyer to get custody of our son changed to full-time. When looking up lawyers this law firm popped up on Google and we started talking about how unprofessional they were and we’re honestly surprised they are still in business. I remember my husband, coworker and friend at the time called me telling me that they wanted him to take a plea deal and I was confused because before that stated that it was open and shut case and it was clearly self-defense. At the time we were both confused because we were previously told that the case would get dismissed due to Spousal privilege. I am sure that this company is going to respond back to try and discredit my review like they do with all other negative reviews they receive which is a clear red flag by the way. If or when they do I will update the post like my husband did after they reply back. This is a very unprofessional and it’s honestly clear evidence that if they happen to drop the ball they would just blame it on you. By the way they refer to my husband as a she when he is a man. Again lack of attention to detail here. Save your money save your time and please don’t be taken advantage of like we were. Shocked at all the five star reviews looks fishy to us.

    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: If I could give these guys no stars I would! I found myself in a unfortunate situation and needed representation fast. I came across through the internet and spoke to about my case. He promised fair legal counsel and pretended to understand my side of the story just to get me as a client. After payment everything went south, I got who I believe was prior to working at the law firm. He should go back to doing that. I was extremely disappointed in the representation by . There were important court dates I had to remind them about It and they said,”it was ok they got everything in order”. Court came the next day and I’m losing my drivers license for 18 months. Try calling these guys on the weekends, your calls won’t get returned until Monday. Sometimes not at all. I felt like I was bothering them when my life was at stake. The real problem came at the end when I just wanted to see the arrest tape to prove my innocence because I really thought I had a chance with an entrapment clause. I asked for the tape for a year and it didn’t show up until the day before court and it didn’t even work. They asked me to plead guilty. If I was going to pay these guys 3 thousand dollars just to plead guilty I should have represented myself. If you want shoddy work go with these shysters!

    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: I hired to defend me when my father in law choked me in front of several minors including my son. There was very poor communication. We didn’t even discuss anything until 30 minutes before the hearing. Also, he showed up looking like a homeless person. He failed to listen to me; and failed me in court. My father in law got away with everything and ended up having to pay the court. It was a big mistake in hiring him, and I discourage anyone from hiring him.

    The full review, as written. Names, places and identifying details are hidden.

    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: I recently had a very troubling experience with this firm involving my case.

    My mother called the office and paid what she was told was a retainer for attorney before anyone from the firm had ever spoken to me. That same day, my mother texted the firm and clearly stated that I had not agreed to hire them, that any funds were to be held in trust pending my decision, and that I did not consider myself to have counsel yet.

    Despite that, the next morning /his firm filed an Appearance of Counsel and additional motions in my case. I had never spoken to him, never signed an appearance or retainer agreement (nor had my mother signed the retainer agreement), and I had consistently stated that I did not want several of the things that were requested in those motions. I only learned about all of this by logging into the court system and seeing filings made under my name.

    When I confronted the firm, agreed to withdraw after I made it clear I had never consented to representation. A staff member also told me, “we probably weren’t going to be taking on your case anyway,” which was especially frustrating given that they had already taken my mother’s payment and filed documents with the court as if they represented me.

    This experience was extremely upsetting, especially because my case centers on issues of consent and police conduct, and I am a trauma survivor with Complex PTSD. Having an attorney I’d never met appear in my case and make strategic decisions (including things I had explicitly stated I did not want) without my knowledge or consent has seriously damaged my trust.

    I am sharing this so that other potential clients, especially those in vulnerable positions, are aware of how my intake and case were handled here and can make informed decisions about whether this is the right firm for them.

    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: I wish I knew this before hiring . I hired to represent me during one of the most difficult periods of my life—my divorce. Looking back, I wish someone had shared an experience like mine before I made that decision.

    My experience was that communication was consistently poor. Months would pass with little meaningful guidance or strategic direction. I repeatedly sought advice on critical issues affecting my family and finances but rarely received actionable answers.

    What concerned me most was the lack of progress despite the significant amount of time that passed. The opposing attorney repeatedly requested information that I was told would be provided. I have emails documenting months of promises without follow-through. Eventually, opposing counsel filed a motion asking the court to order relief because of the time and effort they had spent trying to obtain information that had not been produced.

    Mediation is another example. Opposing counsel began trying to schedule mediation in November. By April, no mediation date had been agreed upon. During one of the few conversations I had with , he assured me mediation would be scheduled within 30 to 60 days. It never happened. That was the point where I realized my case was not moving forward in any meaningful way.

    After approximately nine months, nearly all of my retainer had been exhausted, yet my case had made very little progress. The delay had enormous financial consequences. During that time I continued paying essentially all of the marital financial obligations while receiving little guidance on how to obtain temporary financial relief. As the case dragged on, I watched the equity in our real estate assets decline dramatically, costing what I believe amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost value.

    I also raised concerns about what I believed were repeated violations of the domestic injunction, including being locked out of my own home and having my belongings moved into the detached garage. I sought legal advice on these issues but did not feel they were addressed with the urgency they required.

    Ultimately, I made the difficult decision to terminate as my attorney and retain new counsel. The difference was immediate. Within about a month, my new legal team obtained meaningful financial relief, began addressing the alleged injunction violations, and retained a forensic accountant to investigate financial claims made during the divorce. In a matter of weeks, they accomplished more than I had experienced during the previous nine months.

    Interestingly didn’t even produce a final invoice to me until nearly 2 months after his termination. Equally interesting that it was the largest amount of any other previous invoice consuming nearly the entire remaining retainer balance.

    Every divorce is different, and every client will have a different experience. This review reflects mine. Divorce is emotionally and financially devastating, and every month of unnecessary delay can have lasting consequences. If you are considering hiring , I encourage you to ask detailed questions about communication expectations, case management, timelines, and strategy before making your decision. I wish I had.

The result

A law firm in Utah had 7 reviews removed.

4.6 to 4.7

Google rating as displayed, before and after the removals

Results differ by listing, and Google decides every case.

How we counted

Our numbers, and where they come from.

Every figure on these pages is ours, pulled from the ReviewTactic database. Here is exactly what each one means.

  • What counts as removed

    A removal counts when we filed the case with Google and the review reached removed status. Reviews that disappeared without our filing are left out, and so are reviews that came back.

  • How the rating is calculated

    We calculate the rating from the reviews we pull from Google rather than reading the figure Google shows. "Before" is the listing today with our removals added back, "after" is the listing without them, so new reviews do not change the gap.

  • What a visible gain means

    The rating, rounded to one decimal the way Google displays it, changed. Most removals do not move that figure. Where it did not move, we show the count only.

  • How the reviews are shown

    Every review appears as the reviewer wrote it, spelling included. Business names, people's names, places and details that could identify anyone are hidden. The category on a card is the Google policy the review breaks, in our reading; Google does not say which reason it accepted.
