Matthew G. Wadsworth

I'm honored to be able to share my more than 5-Star experience with the best and brightest attorney that Utah has to offer. His name is Matthew Wadsworth from the firm Arnold, Wadsworth & Coggins. It was so apparent in court today and throughout a complex 6 year long custody case regarding our so...n who has autism, that advocating for others who need help is truly Matt's calling in life. From the very first time I met Matt, he put me at ease. My son and I have never been just a case number. Matt responded promptly to emails, called me to check in, and always made time for a phone conference. His rates are very fair and affordable, especially with the high-quality representation you receive. His billing is detailed and transparent. Matt is exceptional at follow-through, impeccably thorough, and always well prepared to meet deadlines. Matt took the wheel for me when coparenting struggles for my son over the course of many years became too overwhelming. I had 2 choices: Give up, which would be forever damaging to my son -or- Ask for the help I needed six years ago. I wrestled with it, feeling that I didn't even have any energy left to make the phone call. Divorce had taken its toll on my career, my health, and worst--my ability to provide my son with the best of me. I felt old and defeated. So, I chose to call Matt. At many points in the battle, I literally asked, begged, and told Matt that I was worn out and to just give my son's Dad everything that he wanted so he'd go away. Instead, Matt gave me hope and refused to let me give up. Matt has been and is my son's best cheerleader (besides me). He never left our side. I never felt alone. I love Matt's ethics and kindness most of all. He does what's right and fair, but never hesitates to step up to the plate. He is a calming voice in turbulence. Our hearing lasted only thirty minutes. Matt completely owned the hearing, without any discomfort. Matt has been my attorney, confidant, and friend. He showed me that it was safe to talk to him about anything, even the really hard stuff in life that brings us to an attorney. Matt isn't there to judge, and he doesn't. He is a fierce advocate. Matt Wadsworth is our family's hero. My son and I can now enjoy our lives together in a more positive and healthy manner. That call has changed our lives. Many thanks to Matt, Jessica, and the whole Team. You are so appreciated.

Matt was amazing from day 1. I was working with another attorney who wanted to bring Matt on to take the lead. I had a very difficult divorce case that included, domestic violence/criminal charges, child abuse allegations, allegations of fraud, child custody disputes, an ex that is a sociopath and ju...st plots and plans 24/7 against me instead of working or even sleeping. I hired Matt at noon the day we met and by 6pm that day, he was knee deep in the crazy case I had. My husband had lied to DCFS, Guardian Ad Litem, the police and me and somehow got me evicted from our home(where I was living with the kids) and took full custody of our 3 children. Matt worked tirelessly to reverse it and do so within 18 hours. I would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

From the first meeting, Matt was strategically planning options to assist me in my pursuit to enforce birth mother to allow court ordered visitation. He wasn't malicious in his advice, just gave me the pro's and con's of it straight according to the law. Everything he said he would do, was done witho...ut nickle and dimeing. In court, Matt came very organized, focused, and professionally presenting the facts. Matt is very professional and deeply concern in taking care of his client in every aspect and within the legal boundaries of the law. Highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for professional that will produce results

Matt has helped my family with several issues mostly dealing with custody/visitation. He knows the law! He gives great advice and is very professional. The first time we sat down with Matt he had a plan. I was very impressed with that. He knows exactly what to do and how to go about it to get the res...ults we wanted. I would hands down, no hesitation at all recommend Matt and his staff.

I first met with Matt on a Friday (which was on short notice) and I had a court hearing on my custody case on the next Wednesday in Salt Lake City. Matt took the time to listen and look at my case on the court's website and gave me answers and possible solutions to my court hearing. He gave me advice... as if I could represent myself. I hired Matt that day and he helped me at my court hearing and for the rest of my case. If I encounter future problems (which I am sure I will) I will be contacting Matt.
