Theodore R Weckel Jr.

I started the divorce process without a lawyer, thinking I could handle everything myself. But when the other party hired an attorney and filed a countersuit, I quickly realized I was in over my head. After meeting with several lawyers, I decided to go with Mr. Weckel because of his impressive creden...tials and the outstanding reviews I found. Looking back, it was a fantastic choice. I braced myself for a long and costly legal fight. However, with Mr. Weckel’s strategic advice and thoughtful approach, I was able to settle much sooner than I expected. He was always mindful of my wallet, guiding me toward options that balanced achieving the best outcome with keeping costs down. His expertise and knack for simplifying complex issues turned what could have been a stressful ordeal into a much more manageable experience. What impressed me the most was his professionalism, vast experience, and incredible patience. I had many questions, concerns, and input. He took the time to address each one with clear explanations and reassurance. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Weckel to anyone in need of legal representation. If I ever require an attorney again, he will be the first person I contact. I am truly thankful for his service, expertise, and steadfast support during such a difficult time.

Mr. Weckel represented us in a complicated child custody case that lasted over one year. We are so grateful to have had his representation in this matter. Ted is very responsive, understanding of the deep personal issues, and has vast experience in cases like ours. We had to involve a PGAL for the... children who Ted was familiar with, and turned out for the best. We had to attend multiple hearings which Ted was always well prepared for. Our 5 year custody battle ended in our favor after finally hiring Ted to finish the job a prior attorney failed to do. Attorney fees are not cheap, and Ted has always been willing to work with us. I will recommend Ted to anyone I know that may be in similar situations, witch I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Exceptional attorney. Mr. Weckel treated me as if I was his only client. We never met in person because I live in another state but he always made himself available to me. Anytime something happened with my case I was immediately updated and any questions I had by email were answered the same day eve...n on weekends. He is very knowledgeable about the law and ethical in his approach. Most importantly he cared about my family and kept my daughter's safety a top priority. An awesome attorney and an even better man. I couldn't have asked for more or better service.

If anyone goes to Mr. Weckel's website, pay special attention to the ENTIRE site. In the section he has named, "Your Best Legal Strategy in Utah", Mr. Weckel states exactly HOW he will advocate for you. Here is only one quote from that section: "respectful discussion of the issues is much more effect...ive". This was very impressive to me since I have very seldom seen any attorney with such a description of HOW they will advocate for their client. Mr. Weckel did not and can't guarantee the outcome of any case. What he does do is a thorough review of ALL angles of the case from ALL viewpoints. He is thoroughly prepared for his cases, even in a last minute hiring over the phone from the courthouse, which is what I did. When I say all viewpoints, I mean ALL. He is a Judge and has sat on the bench. This gives him a unique insight on HOW to present a case. Most attorney's do not have this experience. In addition, he is VERY FAIR with his rates. In closing, for anyone who reads this who thinks I have received or will receive anything kind of special favor for writing this would be correct in that thinking. Mr. Weckel treated my wife and I very well during our very stressful legal issues. In fact, he is the BEST attorney I have ever used and will call on his services in the future as long as he still practices law in Utah.

My wife and I have used Ted more than we would have liked to have had to use him for many years now; meaning my old divorce is probably more contentious than most. I have the type of divorce in which my new wife and I pretty much maintain him on retainer and have a good amount of experience with him.... He is an excellent attorney. His writing/motions are clear and concise. When you meet with him he is conscious of your time and money and doesn't allow you to waste time talking about things that aren't legally significant to your case. He will tell you when you are wrong, which gives him more credibility when he tells you that you are right. He is second to none at examination/cross-examination of witnesses. He litigates and presents well in trial and other court hearings. He is a great appellant attorney. He does not fluster easily. He is always punctual and professional. My one piece of advise to anyone reading this would be to hire him before your ex-spouse does.
