Really cares about his client

Going through a divorce is incredibly difficult, but having Eric Johnson and his team at Utah Family Law by my side made all the difference. From the very beginning, I was impressed by Eric's deep knowledge of the law. He explained everything clearly and made sure I understood my options. What truly... stood out was his responsiveness. I never felt like I was left in the dark. He and his team were always quick to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. They stayed on top of every detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. The entire team at Utah Family Law is highly organized and professional, and it's clear they know exactly what they're doing. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process, and I'm incredibly grateful for Eric Johnson's expertise and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone in Utah seeking a skilled and compassionate divorce attorney.

I would give negative stars, if possible

Mr Johnson is a terrible person, let alone attorney. I have been fighting for my rights of visitation with my children, and due to false allegations made by my ex husband, allegations i can prove are false, Mr Johnson treated me like i was a liar. He did not help my case in any way. Not worth the tim...e or money.

Outstanding!

A superb attorney. Eric immediately impressed me. Affable, compassionate, sympathetic, empathetic, and fully invested. Eric worked tirelessly on my case. He made it his personal mission to do everything in his power to ensure a successful outcome. Hire him now and sleep well at night.

Eric saved my parental rights

I was hit with a false child abuse allegation at the commencement of my divorce and thought my life was over. Things were a total disaster. DCFS had substantiated the false abuse, a TRO prevented me from having any contact with my kids and they were being badly alienated with the help of a biased th...erapist. Eric fought hard for me and we accomplished the impossible. I now enjoy regular visitation and all that drama is behind me. Eric is an excellent attorney for someone who is up against the ropes. I highly recommend him.

Best decision I ever made

Eric managed my divorce a few years back. He was actively involved throughout the proceedings and made things so much easier on me. It's not an easy thing to be going through and it was so helpful to have a reassuring lawyer that I knew was in my corner from start to finish. If you want someone th...at will just get it over with quickly and be friends with the opposing lawyer, don't waste your time with Eric. His only interest is for the person he represents and he will do whatever it takes to resolve your concerns. One of the worst times of my life made much easier with his support.
