In need of an attorney for my divorce ,scared and not knowing where to turn , I took a chance and called Chris , From the minute I heard his voice ,I felt at peace and knew he had my back . The whole team made me feel protected and safe from that first call right to the end . They work together like a fine tuned machine , and I can’t thank all of them enough for making my ordeal so seamless . Just love you guys —Linda
I contacted the Ault Firm at the beginning of my divorce. I had already filed papers on my own and they reviewed them for me during our free consultation. They suggested I simply continue on that track, because I was doing well enough...But to call them if I needed them.
When I got cornered by the opposing party's legal counsel, Chris stepped in and handled my divorce case most professionally and with great courtesy. We had a brief court appearance, and the outcome, though divorce is never the desirable outcome, was the best that it could be.
I highly recommend Ault Legal.
I have been practicing law in Salt Lake City, Utah since 2006. I have tried cases in state courts across this great state. My clients have included the entire range of our diverse society: from elderly widows to juveniles, urban office workers, truck drivers, and employees of the court system. Many of our cases are referred to us by other attorneys, court clerks, and former clients and we take great pride in handling those cases in the best way possible.
I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and educated at the University of Utah for my undergraduate degree and the University of Miami School of Law for my law degree.
That the practice of law demands service to our community, is a standard taken seriously by myself and I have made many sacrifices to that end for clients.
I have a history of being able to take a case that other attorneys have given up on and find the silver lining. Many current and former clients have expressed their sincere gratitude that they were able to find someone that was willing to put the effort into their case that was necessary.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your case.

Competent, Helpful, and Professional
Christopher was a very helpful attorney for my DUI case. He worked hard to have my charges reduced to Impaired Driving, allowing me to keep my license. The staff at Ault Legal were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend Christopher to those in need of professional legal help.

Very honest Attorney
I had a great experience working with Chris Ault. He is a great Attorney. I was going through with a protective order. Which was not fun nor easy, he helped me feel at ease when I would call him up. Also answered every question I had before entering the court room. I would recommend him for any case.

Knowledgeable, Reasonably priced, and effective.
I have worked with Chris and some of his other associates several times on issues ranging from custody and divorce to corporations and trust issues. I have always found them to be reasonably priced, responsive, and true to their word of treating the client as an individual as opposed to a number. I have recommended the Ault Firm to friends and family and will continue to do so. I have worked with other lawyers and have found Chris and his team at the Ault Firm to be the best attorneys for me. They don’t run the bill up needlessly, they accomplish my goals, or tell me why I’m not being reasonable, but most importantly, they talk to me when I need to talk to them.

A++
Mr. Ault was a referral from a law firm practicing in a different field. I retained him for a divorce/custody case. He is easily reachable by various avenues and his staff is up to date on my case and can assist me when Mr. Ault is unavailable. One of the best qualities I like about Mr. Ault is he will give me the pros and cons to each situation. He will also give me best case, worst case, and his opinion on outcomes of certain decisions. So often, attorneys tell clients what they want to hear to keep the clients happy but this doesn't help clients make the best decision. I would recommend Mr. Ault for any areas of law he is practicing in. Many thanks to the team at Ault Legal.

Trusted and Easy to Talk to
I hired Mr. Ault to help with my divorce at the recommendation of another attorney friend of mine. When we first met he told me that most of his clients turn into friends going through the process. I was able to talk to him everytime I needed something unless I was in court. I was never scared to call him because he only charged for about half of the calls. The quote I got from him for the retainer was a little below the other quotes I received and we came in below that. Overall it was a great experience, given that I was going through a really tough time. He always told me what to expect without forcing one option or another on me, I felt in control.

Great Attorney!
I had a difficult case, I was in an auto accident but there were some conflicting stories about what happened. I didn't seek treatment right away but I was hurt. My husband and I looked at several lawyers, including the guys you see on tv but we didn't want someone that was there for the "low hanging fruit", we wanted an attorney that could actually know us and our case. Chris was that attorney for us. He got us over $50,000 after all of our medical expenses and attorneys fees were paid, and he got us the money fast. I could not have been happier with him or his staff! Any time anyone I need has an accident I immediately tell them to give Chris a call!

Great Communication
Chris helped me out of a difficult situation where I had criminal charges in the middle of a divorce. I was scared when I first went to see him. I didn't know what to expect, but he was able to lay everything out on the table, both good and bad in both cases. At the end of the cases I listened to his advice and the divorce went through without much trouble, I got to keep my kids and he was able to get the criminal charges dismissed.

Mr. Ault resolved my matter expediently and obtained what I considered a fair and just settlement considering the difficult and complex circumstances

great attorney
Mr. Ault was able to get me the settlement I needed. The other side was asking for the sky and the moon, and we were able to come to a resolution where I was ok and they weren't happy but it was done. Everything was done on time, and I knew what was going on.

Horrible attorney, NEVER helped me, harmed my case.
Mr. Ault handled my divorce/custody case in which domestic abuse played a part. He refused to get the video tape that proved that I was physically assaulted-which resulted in broken bones, and did not keep in touch with me, instead telling me that I wanted too much control of my case. He ended up not informing me of a court date (during which he claimed I was a flight risk), which resulted in my son being given to my very abusive spouse for nearly two months, until I was able to obtain a good attorney who was working for me, not against me.
Mr. Ault, however, still had am impact on the case that my new attorney presented, as he removed paperwork documenting broken bones and witness reports from my file before giving a copy of my file to myself and one to my new attorney.

Response from Christopher AultSeptember 22, 2012
this client is apparently upset; unfortunately she has failed to mention that she moved within a week of retaining us, changed her phone number and left us with no way to contact her. In addition, she has a seriously outstanding bill.
