I hired Mary Bevan to represent me during my divorce. While she initially presented a positive…read moreoutlook and said she would advocate for a fair outcome, the reality was far different. Her communication throughout the process was minimal, and during mediation, she admitted to taking her sick child to daycare, which I feel motivated her to finish fast that day. She encouraged me to accept an extremely one-sided settlement: minimal child support and alimony, no back pay, and no share of funds my ex withdrew from our accounts or retirement. Despite having strong evidence (including video of infidelity), she repeatedly dismissed its relevance and downplayed my concerns. She also failed to properly investigate significant financial discrepancies--over $60,000 in unexplained income on my ex's bank statements. I left mediation feeling blindsided, unsupported, and trapped. I called immediately afterward trying to withdraw my consent to the agreement, but was told I could not. Looking back, I wish I had a stronger advocate--someone who understood my situation and fought for a truly fair outcome. I do not recommend her to others going through divorce, especially if you're in a vulnerable financial or emotional position.

Pearson Butler has refused to give it to me and will not respond to my emails. Mr. Rice told me that if I wanted them to pay it out and provide that information, to hire an attorney. Absolutely unbelievable... as if my Mother is a Defendant and I'm a Plaintiff? As the executors of her last will and testament, they have a fiduciary duty to honor her wishes. She would be absolutely appalled. This is the most abhorrent thing I've EVER experienced... not to mention reprehensible and corrupt. Christina Pippin

I live in New York and hired Nick Gottwald to represent my brother in Salt Lake City. My brother's…read moredivorce was anything but straightforward. 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.

He has a ton of experience so he is able to offer great advice on what strategies will actually work (in court and in mediation).

He worked well with the opposing counsel - leading and building trust. Ultimately Nick guided this case to a settlement which was the best outcome for everyone. Billing was easy and straightforward.

I researched top employment attorneys for about an hour or two. Moving from California not too long ago, I realized employment law in the state of Utah is almost always in favor of the employer; it's important to find someone capable. I ultimately hired Andrew Stavros to review my severance. He has tons of experience and it's obvious right away. Mr. Stavros was straightforward, fair and honest. His services are reasonable and affordable. Not all attorneys have experience under their belt to negotiate or understand severance agreements. He did. My options were laid out to me during our consultation. I chose the course of action to take. If needing further litigation or help, I will return to Mr Stavros. He is the kind of attorney you want in your corner if you need to move forward against an employer or civil action. He's confident and unwavering.

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.
