He takes your money and does nothing!

We hired Ben to go after a woman that bought our company and stopped paying. We should have known he wasn’t qualified when the first letter he sent on our behalf was completely wrong!! He obviously didn’t even read up on our case to send an embarrassing letter like that. He never fixed it, told us... he sent other letters but we never saw them. We were locked out of my case so there was no proof of anything. He is impossible to get a hold of. He does not return phone calls text or emails! We finally got so fed up we contacted the person we are suing and she said he won’t return her attorneys calls and emails either and that they have not received the paperwork he told us he sent. If you’re contemplating using Ben Grindstaff I suggest you save your money and find an honest competent attorney who will actually work for you and not just steal your money and run! We want a refund and will do whatever needs to be done to get it. The Utah bar association and BBB will be hearing from us!

Attained Mr. Grindstaff multiple times.

I have known Benjamin Grindstaff in the legal field for many years and have been a client for multiple cases. I have been present during his tenure in multiple legal inquiries and preparations including mediations, court hearings, trial preparations, depositions, a divorce case, a criminal case, fami...ly law needs and others. Because of my own personal experience working in the legal field many years it is easy for me to appropriately identify a highly prepared, well client-oriented, professional, connected, and serious attorney. Ben is my top recommendation and my personal legal choice. Highly recommended for consult if you are searching for a corporate law attorney, a family law case such as divorce, or even a personal criminal scenario because of his expertise in each field. This is not a paid review and simply comes from a single mother who has worked in the legal field and was referred to Ben from another attorney.

I've gotten advices in the pass 2017 from Mr. Ben. Did exactly n how he said. At no charge that time. Was able to get the Divorce in a fair manner. He is Very straight and very professional. When your ready to respond, Mr.Ben already has it in his mind and telling you all about it. Now, his my lawye...r, Still dealing with the same individual. I hired him and I trust him, and I wish him, ONLY the best for him in every way, in his every day of his cases. I can say 6 yrs. Is enough to trust this friend. My family has gone through a lot.

DO NOT HIRE

Ben was my attorney and repeatedly was unprepared. Failed to file a modification to lower child support per judge's request. Failed to bring evidence to court. I wanted custody of my children and requested the opposite. It's a mistake if you hire this guy. Learn from my mistake in not firing him....

Divorce

Ben is a great smart, intelligent attorney. He helped me with my divorce and custody. I got what I wanted and needed. Thanks Mr. Grindstaff. Your the BEST!
