Disappointed Client
After interviewing several lawyers I decided to retain Kelly Ann Booth. I was impressed by how aggressive she was--though the retainer fee was steeper than other lawyers. I liked her personality and felt she would represent me well. That faded over time as she showed up late to my initial hearing. Sh...

Very Thankful
I was very impressed with Kelly Ann Booth and her partner Rudy Bautista. They are very aggressive defense attorneys. We fought my case to trial and after a 2 hour deliberation the jury came back not guilty. Such a gratifying moment. Kelly Ann and Rudy worked hard on my case from start to finish.

Great criminal lawyer
We had the honor of having Kelly Ann represent us recently for a criminal matter related to my spouse. Not only did Kelly Ann get us the best outcome possible and do an amazing job fighting on our behalf, she also helped us get through the whole expungement process as well to get the arrest taken off...

Would Recommend
Kelly Ann did a good job handling my case. Was very knowledgeable in answering my questions. Was always able to get a fast response when I ever had a question, and if she was not available I also got quick responses from her assistant. Kelly Ann is a a fighter in the courtroom. Would definitely recom...

Bad attorney.
I used Kelly Ann for a non-criminal situation and she messed everything up. That’s because after she got paid then she didn’t do the research required for a successful outcome. All the information was available in public records but she never followed through or spoke to a single person or witness in...

Replied last October 8, 2019This is not a client. This person's "story" is unlike any case I have represented any client...this is some "anonymous" person with an axe to grind or is trying to gain some marketing advantage. Didn't happen. Wouldn't happen. During this time, I rarely represented any clients on non-criminal matters. The vast majority of the non-criminal matters I handled were for friends or family members, and mostly involved real estate or very specific civil issues. As happens sometimes, one disgruntled client just starts posting anonymous and fictitious reviews. I repeatedly asked AVVO for the identity or even email address of this person, and they wouldn't provide it. In fact, AVVO indicated that its review process to determine if a reviewer is a client is to simply ask them if they are clients, and if they say yes, they don't take down the review. I asked for them to require the reviewer to provide a fee agreement or engagement letter...something real to verify this person was a client. And nothing. I don't even advertise anymore, I simply get clients through word of mouth referrals because of the great job I have done for hundreds and hundreds of clients. This service advertises that they give you honest reviews by actual clients, but that is not my experience with this company, unfortunately.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.
Fully Stayed Suspension and Probation issued in UT, 2017
updated on 04/10/2017Stayed suspension/probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. In this case the Bar also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
