This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

This was a mistake

Russell took my case and then took a very circuitous approach to resolving what (turned out to be in someone else's hands) a slam dunk resolution, only to announce that he was quitting the law. He then charged me his full rate to spend many hours transferring the case to my new counsel, who looked ov...er Russell's work unable to understand much of his strategy. The ethics of taking my case knowing he was preparing to quit law (he's apparently since returned) and then changing me plenty for his decision, are deeply troubling to me. I cannot recommend Russell Gray.

Good Review

I am so thankful I was referred to Russ for help on my case. He was always upfront about his opinions, but always left the decisions to me. Great Lawyer.

psycho ex

Def kept us informed, he is very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing! The ex tried getting some ridiculous things and he stopped it from happening!

A man on your side

Russell D. Gray was my attorney. Representing me in both a divorce and an additional civil matter! During that time, Mr gray showed me first and fore most trust , concern and consideration in all aspects of the legal issues I was dealing with! His integrity regarding what was both leagal and o...r morally appropriate in themselves in my opinion solidified him not only as a great attorney but as a great man as well! He gave me excellent council. Showed genuine concern for my rights as a father and exhausted every avenue at his disposal to assure me the best possible out come Utah state law allows the man in a divorce . I highly recommend Mr. Gray to any one needing the aspect of law he practices. His one on one in person hands on commitment to his clients is a rare quality these days
