Chapter 13

Excellent lawyer who walked me through all the steps and all the problems of Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I am happy to offer this recommendation and highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of bankruptcy assistance.

Bankruptcy was quick and easy

I hired Mark for a bankruptcy last year that I initially tried to do on my own until I realized how confusing and tedious not only the instructions were but the whole process would have been. Mark was recommended to me and I met with him two or three days later. He told me in simple terms what to... bring in for the next meeting and gave me step by step instructions that were easy to understand and follow. Mark kept me updated in the process and would email me reminders of what was needed next. He made it extremely easy and I was surprised how fast it was filed and completely finished. Any time I had a question Mark got back to me in a timely manner. I would recommend Mark to anyone who was filing a bankruptcy.

Do not hire this lawyer

This Lawyer is not to be trusted, he totally messed up the paperwork for our bankruptcy, and then when we tried to contact him by phone, the number he gave us was disconnected, we went to his office and it was closed, we lost the money we gave to him to handle our bankruptcy, then we hired another la...wyer and when we went to bankruptcy court and were waiting to go in, he showed up with another client, saw us then quickly left the room with his clients...NO TO BE TRUSTED...it's criminal what he got away with...tried to file a complaint, but nothing was done, the judge said that we couldn't file a chapter 7, because it was denied for lack of proper filing and that we would have to file a Chapter 13, which we did...DO NOT HIRE MARK R. EMMETT AS A LAWYER OF ANY KIND

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Probation issued in UT, 2008

updated on 06/09/2010

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2006

updated on 03/16/2012

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.
