Kevin S. Vander Werff

I have had a few diff charged out on me and some yes I made bad choices but was it all what it was made out to be NO and I wanted a new start! I hit rock bottom and didn't want to be judge! I heard about Kevin VanderWerff through a friend who had recently got a DUI and I thought maybe he could take o...n the line of crap I had being carrying and clear things up. From this min Kevin picked up the call it was like I made a new friend, he listened he didn't judge he was honest and called back when he said he would! He would meet with me even if it was not a lot of notice. I really do feel like he care for me as a person and not just some guy who hired. Kevin is very Knowledgeable he knows things right when you ask he doesn't take a week or a month to get back to you, and trust me as bad as it sound some are like that I sadly have haired a few before Kevin VanderWerff . I am glad to know I no longer need to finds good one attorney Rocky Mountain defenders is by far the best I have delt with! Kevin knows the law and he cares ! Kevin VanderWerff is defiantly the diamond in the rut of the attorney world !!!

Can’t say I would highly recommend nor would I say that I don’t recommend using Kevin and his team. Overall I think it was a waste of money and a public defender or just self representation would have done the exact same job and it would have been free. That being said I have not had a bad experience... with anyone or any process of Rocky Mountain Defenders I just feel like they didn’t really do anything to help me. Kevin was there for 2/5 court dates and I had to reach out to the office for both occasions to have him get on the zoom meeting pushing me back and making my zoom court dates both well over 2 hours each. Kevin gave very little help in the negotiation process with the prosecution and just told me that it’s up to me but I should take the first and initial plea deal they were offering and obviously didn’t read my case or watch any of the footage from the incident. So with that, if you want representation just to take a plea in abeyance which you can get just by representing yourself then definitely worth the money.

I hired him on Feb 26 2016 for pre file representation and didn't here from him even after leaving messages on his phone till March 7 2016 that was the day i got sick of waiting and hired another attorney we agreed that he would send me a $400.00 refund from my initial $750.00 retainer as he said the...y have been monitoring the warrant web site i agreed and and he sent me a text to verify the address and the amount it has now been 2 more weeks and i have yet to see the refund i have sent additional messages and e mails to him and his staff and heard nothing

If I could have given no stars I would. During a very terrible period in my life directly after the death of my longtime girlfriend, I got into some trouble while visiting Utah. Initially it seemed like Kevin was doing a good job, and he recommended I move home to Maine. Towards the end of the deal p...rocess he missed a court appearance, and while he managed to smooth that over and finalize the deal, which seemed like a fair deal, it was increasingly a hassle to get any kind of information or help from him. At which point he handed my care to Adam, and Jason. Halfway through completing my probation as I was trying to meet all the other terms that were required I inquired about the deadlines, to which they assured me, I had ample time to complete, despite the court officer telling me different. I believed them. So after faxing them the paperwork proof of me meeting my conditions, and later, with a month left to deadline, I was attempting to satisfy the last condition of a seminar I was supposed to visit but wasn't offered within 150 miles of where I live, but is offered online and acceptable in every other county in Utah except for salt lake county, and called them again to ask if they could find out if a waiver could be had to allow acceptance of the online version. Adam and Jason assured me they would find out. A week passed and they didn't contact me. They wouldn't take my calls. I began frantically trying to contact the courts, who refused me information on the basis of me having an attorney, but I did manage to find out that the last condition didn't matter, because they had either lied or been negligent 6 months previous when they contradicted the court officer's information. So now, not only is my probation screwed up, but I'll get slammed with a maximum penalty for charges held back, and have a bench warrant for my arrest. And to this day nobody at that office will take my calls, and if I do call from a number they don't know, they'll just say anything to get off the phone with me and never answer again.
