We worked with Zachary Starr at Moody Brown Law for over two years on a complicated custody and…read morelitigation case. It was one of the best decisions we made. My ex-wife tried to leave the state four separate times and kept trying to bypass court orders. Zack was steady and knew exactly what to do every step of the way. What impressed me most is how well he understands the local judiciary. He knows how the commissioners and judges in Utah County approach things, and that insight made a real difference for us. He shoots straight. He tells you exactly where you stand and what your real options are. No fluff, no false hope. Just honest, solid counsel. He is patient, considerate, and thorough in everything he does. He protected our son and our family through a really hard time and we will always be grateful. If you're looking for a family law attorney in Provo, Zack Starr at Moody Brown Law is the real deal. I'd recommend him to anyone. Zack cares deeply about his clients and about the money they spend. Many times he helped us avoid costly litigation, and I don't think I would have been nearly as lucky if I had had another attorney. My experience would validate that, unfortunately. I will always be thankful for everything this man did for our family .

I went through a very high-conflict divorce, and Marilyn's experience was indispensable. She…read moreunderstood the timing of each step, how to resolve issues strategically, and how to keep us out of court. It wasn't quick, but in the end it was absolutely the right path. I'm deeply grateful for her guidance through one of the most difficult chapters of my life--I can't imagine navigating it without her. Shortly after the divorce was finalized, I needed legal help again due to escalating issues with my ex's partner. Her behavior was aggressive and was negatively affecting my children. Grant and his team stepped in with clarity and strength. They advocated for my kids, and helped establish safety and stability for all of us. Over the past seven years, they've remained steady, validating, and genuinely supportive. There aren't enough words to express what their dedication, skill, and compassion have meant to me. In moments that were painful and emotionally overwhelming, their professionalism and care were truly invaluable.

I have been on the receiving end of Mr Burrows' "care" as he has served as my ex-wife's lawyer. I…read moredid not know that someone could be so callous and manipulative to someone they have never met. I was served divorce papers on my birthday to start with. The divorce decree was written in such a way as to completely punish and villify me, the father, in a no-fault divorce. Now I am trying to have the courts reexamine my child support amounts since my ex makes about 2.5 times as much as I do. Mr Burrows was again retained as counsel and has used such aggressive and unnecessary bully tactics that instead of helping manage & negotiate a peaceful divorce, he has made it incredibly adversarial and acrimonious. If you want ANY CHANCE of a decent relationship with your ex, at least for the sake of the wellness of your children, do not, under any circumstances, employ Dana Burrows

this firm was so unprofessional The only thing that they were quick to do was take you money …read more communicating with them was just impossible as you have to set up phone call appointments through a text service to scheduled a phone call and then they were always canceled or postponed on their end. If you hire these attorneys, be prepared to only see them five minutes prior to court dates. I could not in good faith recommend them for any kind of criminal case. If the client is incarcerated They , will not set up visitation to offer any type of council and will make up excuses for not doing so they only showed five minutes prior to the court hearing, You may also be waiting over five months to receive your discovery sheet after sending someone else's if you receive the proper one and not someone else's be prepared to attend your preliminary without the discovery and like I said, they are so unprofessional when it comes to communicating, and evidence on the case, that I had myself to retrieve from the police department also two other separate occasions, left me with concerns if they were even working my case. I had to ask several times if they are still representing my client, when asked simple questions on the case, they failed to answer at one point, just shrugged their shoulders and avoided the question seemed as if they haven't read the case at all. they did not set any motions even after requesting, and don't try to get any forms or documentation on what they are doing for the case. They have been on the case over a year and still couldn't provide missing evidence simple police reports. Asking how it pertains to your case, ? they set up one video visitation and did not provide anything that would help the defense when one did show up from the firm they stated I am not familiar with your case. I am just instructed to deliver you pictures. Also be firm on who you are hiring they tend to send their associates or secretary , someone within the firm . We were under the impression that we were hiring Chris Dexter, but he did not show for court. He sent a Brixton R. Hakes . Even after requesting for Chris, only Brixton appeared. Be prepared for unprofessional derogatory comments, "quoted " you sing like a Canary , and such an 80's ways of doing things , ...,, also if you pay them a flat rate fee, they will request that you fire them before you even reached the trial The only evidence they were able to collect was instructed whom to give it to I believe intentionally gave it to the wrong person. If working with Dexter And Dexter be very careful they will look you straight in the eye and show you their meaning to lawyers are liars , also they will show you how attentive they are when it comes to collecting your funds

I liked Eric from the beginning, he had experience litigating against people with the same types of issues my ex-husband has. It's been a long eleven months, but we were able to come to an agreement in mediation. Eric's expertise and advice were absolutely invaluable during mediation. Eric has been extremely kind, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced, and he does not take crap from the opposing party, or the opposing council. He did an absolutely fantastic job of advocating for me, but far more importantly, advocating for my children. For any further issues we have with my ex-husband we will absolutely be returning to Eric.

I don't write reviews lightly, but my experience with Fillmore Spencer was deeply disappointing…read more My wife and I cared for my grandfather in his home for over a decade. During a critical court case involving his situation, the firm failed to appear at the scheduled hearing. I had to call the attorney myself to ask where they were. When they finally arrived, they were completely unprepared. As a result of how the case was handled, my grandfather was ultimately forced to leave his home and move into a retirement facility, where he later passed away. Although Randy later took over the matter and refunded our payment, the damage had already been done. I also retained the firm for a separate criminal matter. I was advised to plead no contest and was told that after five years the record could simply be expunged. When the time came to pursue expungement, I was told they would contact the city prosecutor. Months passed with no updates. My emails went unanswered, and my calls were not returned. Eventually, the attorney handling my case left the firm and apparently did not transfer any meaningful information. Afterward, I was charged again to continue the expungement process, only to be told a week later that there was nothing they could do. No meaningful follow-up was made, and even a simple call to the prosecutor's office was declined. While they offered to refund the second charge, that does not compensate for the wasted time, lack of communication, or the consequences of the legal advice I was given regarding the plea. In both matters, I experienced poor communication, lack of preparation, and a failure to follow through. I cannot recommend this firm based on my experience.

He was very responsive, asked the right questions, and kept things moving. He sent a strong letter to the insurer with citations to Utah law and made it clear he was prepared to file a complaint.

Randy was efficient and mindful about keeping his billable hours down, and he genuinely focused on making sure we were treated fairly. I'm very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.
