Spencer for legal representation, I strongly urge you to look beyond any initial sales pitch and thoroughly research his official state bar disciplinary history across Utah, Idaho, and California. Public records from the Utah State Bar, Idaho State Bar, and the State Bar of California paint a deeply troubling picture of professional misconduct, including: Multiple Suspensions: Formally disciplined and suspended in multiple jurisdictions for professional misconduct, including unreasonable fee structures and dishonesty. Lack of Candor to Tribunals: Found by courts to have engaged in conduct involving DISHONETY, FRAUD, DECEIT, or MISREPRESENTATION-- California State Bar as "Not eligible to practice law in CA" The court documents and disciplinary records speak volumes about a pattern of unethical, financial abuse, and a plethora of court violations.

Before we hired Ron Wilkinson we read reviews and wondered if the poor reviews were credible since…read morethey seemed so different compared to the good reviews. Well, after experiencing Ron Wilkinson firsthand for ourselves, we can confirm the poor reviews about him are credible. When we had our consultation, Ron told us quote, "I can probably get this case resolved with one phone call." And he said that we would get the rest of our "retainer back to spend on Christmas." We understood it wasn't a guarantee but that it was a good probability he could get the case resolved with one promised phone call since that is what he told us. Ron never made that promised phone call. We emailed him and called the office countless times over the next 6 weeks. We did not receive replies to our emails or any callbacks. We finally scheduled a phone call in advance to speak with Ron, which costs almost $400 an hour. We asked Ron if he made that one phone call yet that he promised us. He seemed surprised we remembered him promising he would make this phone call and that he probably could get this case resolved on that one phone call and that we expected him to make that call. He said the individual he was going to call was hard to get a hold of. We did not believe he was telling us the truth. Another time opposing counsel sent us a very harassing email on a Thursday filled with lies and threatening sanctions (court fines) against us if we didn't reply by Monday. We called Ron's office, we emailed Ron and forwarded onto him the harassing email. Ron never called us back, never emailed us back. We made it clear this was an emergency and we heard nothing but crickets. We had to reply to the email ourselves and represent ourselves in order to get the email back to this other unprofessional attorney by Monday. It is almost impossible to communicate with Ron. He does not reply to emails or return phone calls. If you want to talk on the phone, you have to schedule a call weeks in advance for almost $400 an hour. But there are times when emergencies or situations arise that you need a relatively quick response. Then when you do get a rare chance to talk to him, it's very difficult to bring up your concerns to him as he gets easily triggered and he has a short temper. Ron even told us he gets easily triggered. We were scared to say anything to him. Ron often engages in manipulative gas-lighting techniques where he creates a false narrative and tries to place the blame for his irresponsible actions onto us and blame us for his bad actions. As one example he would accuse us of not listening when Ron is the one who was not listening to us. The ultimate betrayal was when Ron falsely told the court we agreed to things which we absolutely did NOT agree to. Ron or his office also engage in falsifying their bills. As one specific example we were charged $720 for witnesses being served subpoenas. However only 4 witnesses were subpoenaed at a cost of $18.50 each which would be a total of $74, not $720. When we point this out to both Ron and his office asking them what is going on with the billing, we again receive no response. We also had to do a lot of babysitting. We had to constantly call and email over and over and over to make sure things are getting done. For example, we called multiple times about correctly scheduling something. We were finally told there were about 5 dates to choose from and we would get a call back to get our permission to schedule the time and place. About a week goes by with no one calling us back. So we have to call into the office again. And we are told that the thing was scheduled without ever talking to us. And this thing was scheduled at a time we could NOT make and at a place we clearly did NOT agree to. So we have to spend more time and more money getting it rescheduled and fixed to the correct place. In short, instead of us being properly represented, there were multiple times we were misrepresented by our own counsel.

This will be a bittersweet review. I am someone who considers marriage as sacred. Unfortunately…read moremy ex-wife of 25 years didn't believe so during the last few months with her adultery. And with her not willing to save our union, she left me no other choice than petition for divorce. My assigned attorney Keith Johnson and his assistant Crystal Aparicio, in a sympathetic tone explained to me that despite my feelings, this needed to be treated as a business transaction with my interest taking precedent. The result was a final divorce decree that took place faster than the minimum 30-days; my pension left untouched, and stipulation that I could live with. Yes, that whole time felt like a living hell, but the staff at the firm were always available to contact and made the whole process as smooth as possible. I would never recommend needing a divorce attorney, but if there is no other choice - please contact these folks. They provide a degree of light during a dark time in life, and I thank them.

These two have been absolutely incredible! They have coached us through each step of the way, are responsive to our questions, and were absolute bulldogs in the courtroom in every single case!!

Honestly, I hired this attorney because I recently moved to a new area and didn't have my usual…read moretraffic lawyer. During our phone call, he made it sound like he would work with the prosecutor to arrange a deal where the ticket would go away after six months with a small fine. There was no mention of traffic school or that I would need to sign a formal plea-in-abeyance agreement. When he later sent me the plea agreement, I was surprised to see the traffic school requirement included, since that hadn't been discussed. The "small fine" he referred to also turned out to be the standard $280 plea-in-abeyance fee paid directly to the court, which I understand is the same amount I likely would have paid even if I had handled the case myself. Having been through traffic court before and having a clean driving record, I knew this was a very standard deal that I likely could have received on my own by appearing in court. I texted him to let him know that traffic school and signing a plea agreement hadn't been explained beforehand and that this was something I could have handled myself. He didn't respond to those concerns and continued sending the agreement for signature. I eventually signed it, but not happily, because I ended up paying for representation that mainly saved me the trip to the courthouse. My advice: if you have a clean driving record and are comfortable appearing in court yourself, you may be able to get the same outcome without paying attorney fees. This service was really only helpful in avoiding a court appearance.

I ultimately paid a $180 fee instead of facing jail time or significant fines. The situation started after I bought a brand new car that was the same make, model, and color as my previous one, just a few years newer. I believed I could transfer my existing plates since they were already registered to me. While taking the new car out, I briefly lost traction for less than a second. I was not speeding. I was pulled over by an officer who immediately escalated the situation and issued multiple citations. Even after I explained that the plates were mine and showed registration for the other vehicle, as well as a purchase receipt to show I was waiting for the title to register it. I was given several tickets for exhibition of speed, using plates from another vehicle, and failure to operate in one lane rather than being informed of the proper DMV process despite the real incident and proof. Matt stepped in and handled everything professionally. He was able to get the charges reduced and protect my license, which I am extremely grateful for. Communication could be improved as his responses were sometimes very delayed, but he did follow up before court and delivered real results when it mattered. If you want someone who knows how to navigate the system and fight for a fair outcome, Matt is absolutely worth it.
