Punctual and easy to work with

Nick took care of my divorce seamlessly. He explained my options and the entire process clearly on my initial consultation. Once things got moving all documents that needed submission were done so in a timely fashion. The entire process could not have been any faster. Recommend him in handling your d...ivorce.

Knowledgeable and professional

Nick was great to work with. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He was very prompt in communicating which I appreciated. I would definitely work with him in the future if I have need and recommend him to others.

When you need a lawyer who will be realistic and fight for you, go to Nick. Family Law and Divorce, he's represented me.

Nick Gottwald represented me in my divorce in 2021. He's also represented me in two family matters since then pertaining to my divorce. Repeatedly, he's provided a clear and sound voice of experience, tempered by the reality of the law. He's knowledgeable and experienced--but what's more is he tak...es an overarching view of family law, which makes him understand the context of the law. He's saved my family, my kids, and I owe him far more than the money he charged.

Excellent Experience

I had a great experience consulting with Nick. He provided me with extremely helpful input and acted swiftly to make the necessary calls in order to answer my questions. I’ve been going around trying to contact lawyers in Utah for over 3months without much luck. Nick’s responsiveness, prompt action... and humane advice is second to none. I would definitely hire him.

Great experience

Nick was great to work with. He was so quick to work on everything that I needed and he always kept me very informed on what was going on. So many lawyers seem to really drag things on in the name of getting what's best for their client. Nick struck a very good balance between fighting for fairness a...nd just moving things along. Overall, a great experience.

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.
