Lucky I found her!!!!!!

Not sure where to start on this amazing lady! My ex told me she hired one of the best attorneys in Utah,. I had no clue, I used Google and called first attorney. It was Veronica. She schooled my exes first and then second attorney. She is fair, she is human,. She understands the stress we are going... through scared to loss our children. When I first hired her I was only seeing my kids a couple hours a week, nothing I had done just part of the games. I left with nothing but my dog and my guitar. I was in the worst possible divorce you could think of. It took time but now I have joint legal and Physical and got my fair share of equity and personal property. Something I didn't even know I should get. I will never forget going to her office one evening to drop of payment and she was working and her baby was sitting on her desk. That's when I knew I found right person. She is ultra dedicated, she will not sugar coat and she is amazing in court. She has ethics and Confidence. She knows the judges and what they don't want to hear. I am forever grateful for this lady. Well respected, I have sent another couple to her and they got same results. She does not waste your money. She will tell you what is worth fighting for. Thank you Veronica and her firm, much respect,

Poor Communication

It’s clear that she either needs a better secretary or have a handle on the people that she represents and set up times to follow up on cases or petitions that she’s working on. I’ve called for a couple weeks no with no return call from her, and sent emails to a lawyer in her office who helps her: NO... RESPONSE. It’s been 40 days since our petition was filed per her law office and the state of Utah requires 21 days for the served party to respond. Why haven’t we heard anything from her ?? Anytime we call this older woman answers “Law Offices” with a baby in the background crying or other noises. And it’s always an excuse why she doesn’t call back... or can’t answer the phone. We are extremely disappointed that Veronica eluded to her willingness and vowed dedication to help my husband see his daughter (as are his rights). But this is just poor business dealings. Strange how those who have cases that won’t pay more than a few hours of work never hear from her but those who go to court or are big cases are giving her rave reviews. Not impressed. Don’t take cases you can’t give 100% to, Veronica. It’s not a difficult concept. $2,000 retainer means you work for me. Not on your time. Do not hire her if you have an issue that requires her attention but won’t give her a big payout.

One of the best lawyers

Two weeks before my divorce court, I hired Veronica, she worked fast in a short time and eventually got me more than I expected. Veronica is a fighter and during the hearing she's always spot on. Very pleased with the outcome

Custody

We tried to end the whole court problem with her but literally my husband never got anything good, he is not a competent lawyer and he is not someone who will give you results. She threw the case and never struggled to get anything good.

Unfortunately, I had to withdraw from your husband's case because he refused to provide the Court with the documentation he was ordered to provide. I can only help so much when the Court's orders are constantly being violated. I did keep him out of jail, despite his continued violations of the Court's orders.

She has done awsome

veroniva helped me get through a difficult case that involved my mental health. She was reassuring and calming through the whole process and has been able to watch a prior case which I wish I had hired her for
