Compassionate and Professional

I can't thank the Devin enough for their exceptional support during my divorce proceedings. He guided me through every step with compassion and expertise, making sure I got the best outcome for my family.

Posted by Cintia | December 02, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Family

So thankful

Devin has been working on my case that includes an international abduction and horrible false claims against me and my family. I can't tell you how grateful and impressed I am with all the work he put into my case. My divorce has drained all my energy, and money with endless court cases outside of t...he country. When I met Devin, I knew I had to have him on my case. He's honest and understood all the details from the beginning. Devin is a very fair minded attorney and his team has shown nothing but dedication, caring and empathy towards the entire situation. He had my back and trusted me, and knew how to defend my case, despite of all the false claims that were thrown my way. I would trust any difficult case to him based on his work ethics, his intuition, and his incredible knowledge and passion. In the name of my family, THANK YOU, we appreciate the incredible legal work you did on my behalf. The Mitchell Family It's so comforting to know that you have the very best at your side when times are tough.

Awesome lawyer for divorce and custody case

Devin has gone above and beyond since I first contacted him. I had a time sensitive matter that needed to be handled asap. I was waiting for a highly recommended lawyer to call me back and make time for an appt for me. I saw Devin online and gave him a call. Not only did he get back to me the next da...y, he set up my appt for the day after that and since I couldn't find child care for that day, he graciously said my young children could come too. He was unfazed by the kids in the room and we were able to do the consultation and get the ball rolling. He's quick to return calls, quick to handle issues, very comptetent and professional. With his help, we built a strong case to where my ex husband decided to settle. I highly recommend him for anyone needing services.

Devin is honest, hard working, knowledgeable and gets the job done!

I came to Devin after going through a messy divorce with a really disappointing divorce lawyer. Devin cleaned up the other attorney's mess and the outcome was really what I hoped for but didn't know was possible. He worked multiple cases for me. Devin walked me through everything step by step. He alw...ays answered my calls and questions. He worked hard on my case and it showed. He is professional and compassionate. Devin is someone I feel safe and confident with on my side in a courtroom. He taught me my rights and helped me through difficult situations. He made my situation a lot less frightening and has given me the confidence to move forward. When I hear of anyone needing an attorney I immediately recommend Devin.

Devin is the BEST lawyer, HANDS DOWN!!!!

Let me begin by saying I NEVER review anything. But after having Devin as my lawyer I felt like I had to tell the world how amazing he is. Here is my story. A few years ago I went through the worst divorce I could have ever imagined, my ex wife is crazy. And when I say crazy I am talking evil crazy. ...Like, I am 100% convinced Satan works for HER. I had a horrible lawyer out of Provo. She was, to be perfectly honest a total waste of money. I lost everything. And on top of that I had to pay that lawyer $10,000.00. Well, due to that lawyer's laziness and negligence, there were some things my ex was supposed to do that she never did. And I played hell trying to get her to abide by what she was supposed to do. After the divorce, my lawyer at the time went MIA without having my ex do what was needed. And the most frustrating part was I had paid that lawyer for services she didn't ever provide (which was getting my ex back to court to finish up this mess). So I eventually and unfortunately years after that, I found my old lawyer and she said she would help me get this resolved. Well, that was a mistake because all she did was make it worse. So I fired her and my wife and I decided to find the best of the best to get us through all this. We interviewed the top lawyers in Utah, and in doing so we found Devin. I didn't even know it was possible to find an HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, HARD WORKING Lawyer anywhere-but we found him. Devin is straight forward and tells it like it is. He doesn't lead you into believing anything that he can't provide. He is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. He knows the law, statutes and the judicial system like no one I have ever known. He is extremely kind and understanding. He isn't like other lawyers, he actually cares about his clients. He is extremely fair priced, maybe too fair. For someone with his knowledge and capabilities he should most definitely charge alot more. But that's not who he is. It's not all about the money to Devin, he is really a good person and the very best lawyer you will find. He got me out of my horrendous mess for WAAAAAY less than it would have cost me with my old, useless lawyer and he is still helping me with other things. I am keeping him on my payroll for sure! I HIGHLY recommend Devin to everyone I know needing a lawyer. He is the best!

"Devin Quackenbush is a consummate professional. He is honest, hardworking, fair, and extremely intelligent. I have known him since 2009 when we worked together as interns for the District Attorney's office in Alaska. He is able to quickly spot the legal issues in a case, find the answers, and relay that to non-lawyers in plain English. Above all, he is fair and honest; Devin wont run up a 10 hour bill on a case that could be settled in 2 hours."
