Terrible Attorney

I think “Benny” was probably a good attorney at one point - now he’s a very selfish, dishonest attorney that doesn’t even pretend to care if you get a good defense. Also, when I called other attorneys, several told me to steer clear of Benny. I hope he gets the help he needs or changes career fields....

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!

Unresponsive unless asking for retainer fee.

I’ve been waiting for 3 years for a response from Benny on what was a simple amendment to a divorce decree. Multiple messages left and emails without a response. No work done. A waste of $1500. A few months ago, To check the responsiveness as a new client, I completed their online form. The next da...y Chris returned my call. I came clean and explained that no would return my calls. He said he had no record of my calls and asked for the emails to Benny be forwarded to him. Guess what? No reponse from Chris either. If you need an attorney who will respond at all (it’s been 3 years), go find someone else.

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.

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."
