Hard working

Jarom was very thorough and kept me up to date all the time. He worked hard to get my charges dismissed. I would hire him again if I ever need his service. Thank you!

Best outcome possible

I was worried when Summit county tried to charge me with a DUI and driving on a suspended when I wasn't even in the vehicle and the vehicle was inoperable but he was able to get my entire case dropped. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Posted by Windy | November 22, 2023

Hard working and non-stop

Jarom listened to me, was compassionate about my anxiety and my experiences and kept me informed of every step. He believed in me and fought for me and my case. He is knowledgeable and respected by the county attorneys and he helped me keep my head up during the process. He listened to what I needed as far as outcomes and was able to get my case dismissed - I'm really impressed.

Standing up for justice!

I was recommended by a friend to meet Jarom Bangerter. My friend told me he would be fair and justice and do the right thing for me. I called them and set up a meeting with them. He told me everything to do the right way and I did it he told me never ever plead guilty. I didn’t he took the case to court and I want it he also told me to always pay my bail. I also got my money back on that too he’s very straight to the point and truthful he’s never lied to me or been the truth. I’d recommend him to anybody and anyone that I know and I have I’ll never go back to any other lawyer except for him thank you.

Defendant

Jarom was super helpful in my case when I caught a charge visiting Utah on vacation. Following the incident, I shopped around for lawyers for a couple weeks to help defend myself in court, before coming across Jarom. It was a quick decision and turned out to be a perfect fit. I was charged with possession of marijuana spice and with Jarom’s help I was able to get this expunged from my record. Jarom was very friendly and informative explaining the different scenarios of outcomes we could possibly see in my case. I was confident throughout the trail that with Jarom’s help I can get the possession of marijuana spice charge and a couple others reduced or dropped with Jarom’s help and sure enough I was right. Jarom was very easy to get a hold of if I ever had an questions or concerns. I shot him multiple phone calls during our time working together and he was always there ready for an answer. I could thank Jarom enough for his help and I STRONGLY recommend him when you run into any troubles in the Utah area.

Jarom was on top of everything and very helpful with my case. Kept me informed and included the whole time.

Best attorney I have ever had

I have been involved in several suits. Unlike other attorneys Jerome would actually listen to my concerns and suggestions. He was very precise, persistent and well versed on the law over the two year period. He ultimately won a very favorable settlement. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Posted by anonymous | February 25, 2021

Jarom is the "Diamond in the Rough"

I ran into a situation where I knew I needed help. A professional colleague referred me to Jarom. After one brief conversation regarding the situation, I hired him. Hiring Jarom was one of the best decisions I made. His extensive knowledge of the law, demeanor with me and other parties involved, as well as communication regarding the process were simply impeccable. I could not be more grateful for the work as well as outcome Jarom did on my behalf. I would HIGHLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend Jarom to anyone finding themselves in a position where they his specialty expertise in legal services.

Good lawyer

Jarom Bangerter is a great lawyer, he takes you step by step through your case and makes sure you understand what’s going on. Jarom handle two cases for me, he takes time to find the best way to proceed the case and gets the job done. Both cases I had were dismissed, I highly recommend Jarom Bangerter if you are looking for a good lawyer to take you’re case.

He went above and beyond I would highly recommend Jarom without question!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Jarom was a true pleasure to work with. He is highly professional, intelligent, works hard on behalf of his clients, and is one of the only attorneys I've ever met who seems to truly care about his client's tough situations. He made a process that was highly stressful, both personally and financially, and created the best possible outcome for me. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a top-rate defense attorney.

Best outcome possible.

Was being charged DUI. The charge was negotiated down to an impaired driving. Given the circumstances, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Of course getting out of all charges would be nice, but was not possible in this circumstance. Very grateful what Mr. Bangerter did for me.
