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,

Awful communication

So I found this attorney thru unbundled legal services. I met with her one time and she seemed fantasctic! Knowledgeable, caring, the whole nine yards. The thing with unbundled services is I am supposed to be able to hire her for specific services that I pay for (i.e. a 30 min consultation to go over... paperwork and get advice ect. Is $75) or I could pay a retainer ($1500) to hire her. Great fees compared to most attorneys...yet, along with what several other people have said, she is next to impossible to get ahold of! I have spent months calling and leaving messages with the receptionist as well as sent her an email, thinking maybe I said something that caused her to not want to represent me or something....come to find out, she is just flaky like that apparently. Super disappointed because I was really excited after meeting with her as she seems more than competent in her field....also, the unbundled legal services refuses to refer me to another attorney. Don't even bother trying to use her as an attorney unless you want nothing done on your case or no communication.

I apologize that you were not able to get ahold of me. I haven't gotten any messages from a "Kasie" or from someone that I consulted with that I haven't returned.

She is very professional, she follow step by step my case, she cares about my situation and defend me, I got the result that I was expected. Her fees are reasonable and precise. I won't doubt to hire her again.

Best Lawyer In the state, Hands down

Where do begin, this woman is so amazing. She's so compassionate and so involved with our case. She takes the time to explain everything to me. I would be lost without her. I can feel in my heart that veronica is in this full heartedly. my case is very difficult and rare from most but she is working ...her butt off to help get me custody of my daughter. If you want a lawyer who actually cares about you and case veronica is the one for you. She's not out to just make money and charge up fee's . She's actually here to help you and make things easier. I would recommended her to anyone. I've ever told her myself that I trust her with my life! She is truly ONE of kind. Veronica you're amazing and i could never thank you enough for everything you've done for us. Thank you thank you@ -Rily T

Excellent Attorney

Veronica K Mcdougal represented me during my recent divorce. I could not be more pleased with my results. First of all, I felt that my voice was heard through the court proceedings. Veronica was an excellent source of information as to how things may proceed and as to the best course of action. She w...as great to advise me, all the while being conscientious of my finances and her legal fees. She was so easy to work with, kind compassionate, appropriate, stated the facts in a direct and compelling fashion. I am very grateful she was able to get my divorce handled as quickly as she did and the results were everything I had hoped for. It was a difficult matter, with little to no cooperation from the other side. I am very grateful she was able to make this happen for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance. She is a true professional and excellent at what she does.
