Shorter refused to add that statement of laws, how and why. I relied on him as the subject matter expert and of course, the other party shot me down with "no specifics on HOW and WHY the contract was breached".

He showed me no calculations for allocation of child support and alimony and was largely absent in the process. I was under duress during mediation due to an injury that occured the night before. He allowed the mediation to go on for over 12 hours and recommended I give my ex-wife my house with a 2.85% mortgage, my truck, $6000 per month in child support and alimony event though I have my kids 50% of the time and I paid off all her debt. This put me on a path that has caused immense emotional and physical stress. Don't risk it.

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!! They are absolutely spot on accurate when it comes to reading the body language of the judge and presenting the evidence and details that the judge wants to hear or moving to dismiss the case right when the body language of the judge indicated that he was ready to throw it out. When the opposing side threw out evidence that wasn't disclosed in advance and wasn't verified as accurate, they handled it professionally and without even getting flustered. They were calm, collected, eloquent, and got the judge to throw it out. They knew the laws perfectly in order to get various charged completely thrown out by various different judges. After interviewing about 30 different attorneys to determine which one we wanted to use on the child custody case, we selected Chad and Lindsey and we have couldn't be happier with them.

Proceed with extreme caution - review public bar records before hiring…read more If you are currently evaluating Terry R. 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.

The financial issues were complicated, the history was lengthy, and there was an overwhelming amount of documentation to work through. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Nick was not interested in taking shortcuts and making assumptions--and I knew I had found the right attorney for our case. He listened. He asked important questions. He wanted to understand not only the facts, but the context behind them. Nick never argued first and figured it out later. He sought understanding first--and that's what made him such an effective advocate. By the time we got to trial, Nick knew the case inside and out. That preparation, coupled with his keen understanding of the law, allowed him to represent my brother with confidence, giving weight and credibility to every argument he made before our judge, and ultimately achieving an outcome that exceeded our expectations. On a personal level, Nick was responsive, calm under pressure, compassionate, and genuinely invested. He treated us with kindness and respect, earning our complete trust. I'm so grateful that I chose Nick Gottwald to represent my brother. Words fall short of expressing my appreciation for his hard work and unwavering commitment from start to finish. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd hire Nick again in a New York minute.
