Travis Christiansen

Travis was hired in a family law case. He was without question the cause of a legal nightmare of epic proportions. He refused to do his job, did not bother to do a discovery, made deals with opposing party, then walked away from the case when it was time to fight for me. His rating is not even 1 sta...r, however, this app doesn't allow a rating less than that. He was absolutely worthless.

Very poor service

I hired Travis to prepare a living trust and got a cookie cutter product. I took the trust home to look it over and they had someone else's social secuity number and the wrong beneficiaries. I took it back to have the issues resolved. Other wrong facts were entered in the trust I brought to their at...tention a second time. I had to take the trust back twice to get issues resolve. I was asked to send a legal description of my residence for the deed to be entered in the trust. Sent in two documents and never got a response. I called 4 times and e- mailed Travis once and never got a response. Gave up on this Travis. Would not. recommend Travis for living trusts.

This appears to be a fake review. We do not put SSN's on our estate planning documents due to privacy issues.

Incredible Business Attorney

Travis does an amazing job, he can find answers when others have failed to come up with solutions for my needs. I highly recommend him for all of your business law needs

Amazing legal mind

Travis has given me the best advice, provided salient legal strategies that have assisted me in executing my desires for my business law needs. I had used a much more expensive big name firm out of Salt Lake who didn’t really even look at my case with a critical eye. Travis took my file for an hour... and not only came up with a better strategy but saved me tens of thousands of dollars.

General practice lawyer | Oct 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As an attorney, Travis is one of the easiest individuals I have worked with. He is very clear thinking and direct. He has been very helpful and knowledgeable when discussing various legal topics. Attorneys tend to have other "go to" attorneys when they need to refer someone to another attorney, due to conflict, location, etc. That "go to" attorney needs to be reputable, or it reflects poorly on the referring attorney. Travis has been been one of a few select "go to" attorneys that I have referred others to, knowing that he will provide a professional service in a zealous manner."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2025

updated on 07/31/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
