Benny Salcido is uncommunicative and unhelpful

Benny Salcido was not forthcoming with information pertinent to my case, made my family wait days before receiving critical information to my case, and seemed unprepared and unprofessional in my two court hearings. I had to reach out multiple times before I could get information I needed. While I wai...ted in jail, he charged my parents exorbitant amounts of money while being functionally useless to me. Him and his office failed to email me necessary documents and caused a significant delay to my legal proceedings. I cannot in good conscious recommend the services of the Salcido law firm to anyone but my sworn enemies.

Helped with a DUI

Helped explain the process and negotiated a fair deal with the DA office. Wish I would have hired before meeting with Driver Licence Department!

Excellent and Thorough Representation

The assistance and representation from Salcido Law Firm was outstanding, expedient, and professional. Benny is an excellent lawyer with both the depth and breadth of knowledge necessary to represent his clients to the fullest extent practicable. Benny was always able to provide answers to my many que...stions and reassured me when the circumstances were hanging in the balance. I owe my experience with him to his professional demeanor, knowledgeable approach, and dedication to follow-up.

Professional every step of the way

After getting in a fight with my younger brother I was arrested and tried as a Felon. After consulting with the Salcido Firm I knew I was in the right hands. He did everything in his power to help me end the case quickly and got me dropped down to a misdemeanor with court probation. Thanks to him I w...as able to return to school and continue my education. The firm's prices are high but I wouldn't expect anything less from some of the best lawyers in Utah. He kept me informed on everything that was going on in the trial, went over all possible senario that could happen depending on what I wanted to do and explained to the fullest why it was a good or bad idea at the end I took his advice and proceeded the way he thought would be best I put all my trust and my freedom in his hands and he didn't disappoint. I would hire him again without question.

fantastic attorney!

Salcido Law Firm helped me so much with my felony charges. I don't know how He did it, but I served no jail time, and Not only did He, ( Benny Salcido ) get some charges dropped, the one charge that stuck will be completely dropped providing I successfully complete probation. Benny is very genuin...e and honest, he really listened to my story and presented it to the court in a way that they understood and showed me compassion. I highly recommend these attorneys.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Spencer (Benny) since he started practicing law. From day one he was a great attorney and has only improved with experience and age. I often refer friends and clients to Benny for legal services as I do not do criminal law often anymore. I would not hesitate to send friends and family to Benny for legal assistance. I highly recommend Benny for all your legal needs."
