Divorce and Separation 20%

Family law is the primary focus of my legal practice. Family law consists of divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, spousal support/alimony, adoption, paternity, and guardianship/conservatorship. My fundamental focus is to do everything in my power to get my clients to the best emotional and financial state possible upon completion of my representation.

Saint and a Scholar

This young man stepped into a very difficult situation without hesitation. It is my belief and experience that without his assistance on our case, we would have continued to have our voices ignored and would not have been able to survive financially and continue our fight for our children . Our case... is one of the more difficult family Law cases an attorney will ever come in contact with. Attorney Eldredge showed that not only is the law important, but compassion, mercy and the willingness to fight for your right as a human being is essential to the survival of our country's perception of checks and balances. Joshua Paul Eldredge is more than an attorney. He is an honest, gracious soul with the intent of helping anyone he can. He is not an attorney that lives off of retainers. He follows through for what is right, enduring to the end demanding proper solution and answers for the misunderstood portions of family law. My family is looking forward to utilizing his extreme knowledge and skills in family law as we approach our time to be heard in court again. I was married to a paralegal of extreme stature for 13 years until her death in 2001, (therefore knowing and associating with some very prominent Lawyers professed in all areas), and in all that time, knowing all those attorneys, Attorney Josh Eldredge is by far one the most admirable people I have ever come in contact with in my 47 years of life. Please hear me when I say, if your in a very difficult position involving family law, DCFS, the courts and others may direct you to those advertising for the need of enlarging their client list, but do nothing until you seek the advice of Attorney Eldredge. He will tell you straight out what is about to happen and see you through to the best possible result in your given situation. Thanks for all your Help Mr. Eldredge, and thank you AVVO for the opportunity for me to share the blatant truth. T.S. Beck

Nervous at first

I spent a lot of time looking at reviews for lawyers for my situation, and for the most part each person I looked at had fairly good reviews. I was nervous picking someone but I ended up meeting with Josh, and was instantly confident in my decision of meeting with him; Josh is kind and passionate abo...ut helping his clients. Upon meeting him I felt comforted on his confidence in helping me and my case. In the experience I've had with working with him I have not had any issues getting in touch with him or his assistant, I have felt comforted through each step of the process and he has kindly answered all the questions I've had. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a family law lawyer!

Fathers Rights in Utah

Utah is not father friendly when it comes to custodial rights, and it can be very frustrating. Josh Eldredge committed to helping me gain equal custodial rights of my 3 year old daughter in November of 2014. Josh developed a plan to allow me to seek custody. Within six months of starting the proce...ss we were victorious in court. When choosing a lawyer I have learned that it is important to look for the following characteristics. 1. A broad knowledge of family law. 2. Honesty with their client. 3. Responsiveness to their client. 4. Understanding and caring of the client’s situation. 5. Patients and ability to listen. Josh has proven to me that he has all of those characteristics and more. Out of frustration with the pace of the court system I exploded on Josh a few times. Josh always listened to my complaints, and would calm me down. I felt that Josh truly cared for both myself and my family, and understood how helpless the Family Court System in Utah can make a father feel. Josh was always there to jump in on my behalf or sometimes just listen. I give very few recommendations, but I would not hesitate to recommend Josh Eldredge to anyone.

Lifelong Client

Most incredible experience I've ever had with an attorney. Regardless of the reason for the need to retain any legal advisory, most cases are extremely sensitive, even tragic. The care and attention your case may need will be met, starting with the staff and secretary all the way to the truly genuine... care of this amazing attorney. My business will forever be here, forever thankful to have found Joshua, Thanks to Utah Family Law Group Lifelong client The Fitzgerald Family
