Divorce

Reached out to Nick for some support for my divorce. My case was a bit more complex than the average with it being across state lines. I got back from deployment to find my wife took the kids across state lines. Due to the nature of the case Nick was very knowledgeable. After calling three other lawy...ers before him, I was still lost in the sauce as what to do. Nick was approachable and while he was busy we were able to set up a time within 24 hours of initial contact and talk about hat options I had and what would be the best case for my situation. By far he was the most knowledgeable and what he didn’t know he was able to find quickly and effectively. He broke it down best case and worse case during our first free consultation that really helped me. If I ever need a divorce lawyer in Utah I am definitely coming back to nick for the future. I don’t know what my current situation will intel but I do know Nick knows his stuff and is professional.

Divorce/custody

I worked with Nick Gottwald, and he did a phenomenal job. He was professional, informative, and got my divorce/custody settled as quick as possible. I highly recommend him, he provided an amazing service! I was able to do almost all of the paperwork from my home, instead of having to go into the offi...ce making it a lot more convenient.

Excellent Work on a Child Custody Case

Nick from Nelson, Taylor & Associates worked with me for almost three years on a change in custody and did phenomenally well! He kept me well informed throughout the whole process, and was very good at breaking down the legal jargon into plain English so I could fully understand all of the docume...nts and hearings that we had to go through. In the end we had what I believe was an extremely fair and favorable outcome and I would hire Nick again if I had to go back and start from the beginning.

Helped get custody dispute to an end

I hired Nick after several years of fighting in and out of court. He helped get my divorce and custody settled within a fairly short amount of time and helped prove the other party had some issues. He communicated with me regularly and addressed any concerns or issues I brought up, and went to bat fo...r me against the other party to protect my rights when necessary.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Nick on a family law client of his who ended up getting charged with multiple felonies. I was only helping in an advisory capacity. Nick was outstanding in his representation of his client. He fought incredibly hard for his client and ultimately persuaded the prosecution that the charges were not appropriate, and Nick was successful in getting the prosecution to dismiss the criminal case entirely."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
