Excellence

Steve Anderson is a most professional and highly experienced attorney. His knowledge and understanding of the law in Utah is most impressive. His communication skills are terrific, he explains the law and legal process well clearly, and he is accessible. I recommended Steve without hesitation!

great job - great forethought

Steve was always thinking ahead. He never let me down. We always had something "left in our back pocket" so to speak. He was very through, and I never felt like he didn't have my best interest at hand. He was honest and to the point. My options were stated clearly from the get go. I truly felt as tho...ugh he cared about our results from a human stand point. I would recommend Steve for any legal advice, especially if it involved a courtroom. cheers SH

Great Team

Steven Anderson and his paralegal Chad Lambourne are a great team. They are very knowledgeable and responsive. Chad is extremely helpful when it came to answering questions and helping you along the way, as well as being trustworthy and honest to help you get the best results possible with your case.... I would definitely recommend this team to anyone needing help.

Thanks for expertise

Having never hired an attorney before (having never been arrested before!), I didn't know where to turn. I got lucky. Steve Anderson is not only extremely knowledgeable, but professional and personal. He knows the law inside and out and handled my case (false arrest, DUI) without a hitch. I was exone...rated due to lack of evidence, and he proved it. I am hugely relieved and will be forever grateful to him and his excellent staff.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
