Robert C. Miner

Mr. Miner began representing our son after one of his associates(Gus Chin) who was handling the case was asked to leave the firm. The reason for his dismissal was unknown to us. Gus Chin, the associate, appeared before the judge with our son the day before his dismissal, never informing our son tha...t he was leaving the firm until that day. Gus was aware of this fact at least a month or more before the court appearance. This information would have been extremely relevant in determining whether to stay with this firm. There was little if any preparation before going before the judge and no contact or consultation with the District Attorney's Office until minutes before the judge heard the case. I am certain Gus Chin's focus was on finding new employment instead of representing his client. Although the blame lays mainly with the associate, I believe that Mr. Miner who agreed to continue representation for our son should have taken his responsibility more seriously. He gave the case minimal attention and any progress that was made was done by us and our son. Our phone calls were rarely returned and e-mails were somehow lost or ignored. Because of his lack of interest our son's sentence was much longer than necessary. He also charged us an additional amount ($2500) on top of the $5000 that was payed to his associate. If this extra money had been beneficial it would have been well worth it, but we felt that it was unwaranted and had no positive effects on the case. It is unfortunate there aren't more reliable reviews on attorney's. We would never have hired anyone working at this firm. If you want a below average attorney go with this Mr. Miner or take my advice; pay a little extra and hire an attorney who will give 100%.

Robert Miner advised my wife on her options and how to best meets the judge's concerns in her difficult case. He is an unusual combination of experience, intellect, and plain speaking communication that my wife, who is Chinese and ESL, could understand. He is patient and compassionate too. Much appre...ciated!

My mom was accused of 3 ridiculous charges and she was petrified she was going to go to jail for these charges for making a split second decision to smack our fence and two fence boards fell out. She panicked when she was told she needed to appear before a judge for criminal mischief and trespassing ...and animal cruelty, all of which were trumped up charges by some hotshot new cop. She called her divorce attorney Tom King who HIGHLY recommended Rob to her. She called the number and was so surprised/impressed that Rob himself answered the phone and she told him what happened and he immediately calmed her down. She met with him for her free consult and immediately hired him on the spot. He came to pick she and I up before every court appearance and talked us through everything and was upfront and honest. We were always in and out of every court appearance so quick. He got her 2 of her misdemeanors dropped and got her one down to probation for one year. He was great in calming my mom down and talking us through every step of the way so we have no surprises. I would recommend Rob to anyone with any criminal charge no matter how big or small. He was worth every dime that she paid him!

I had retained am attorney who said he was the best in Utah and had even written a book on Utah DUI LAW. His fees were twice what other attorneys charged but he said he could do what others couldn't. I was very disappointed with his representation and started calling around. Mr. Miner was quick ...to respond. Explained thing my attorney hadn't been willing to, was honest in his evaluation of my case and that I should stay with the attorney I was with. He also explained the plea deal I had been offered and options I might was to consider discussing with my attorney. He did all this and didn't charge me a dime although I did offer to pay him for his time. I felt the time and advice he gave me was priceless. I hindsight it was a major mistake to retain who I had. It cost me over twice as much as it should have, and the results weren't what he had represented. Mr. Miner on the other hand listened and then explained the situation in a manner I understood. I so wish I had come across Mr. Minor first, and should I ever need services like this again he's the first I will call.

Well first off it was Sunday morning when I was stopped, after I was released from the police station, I was stressed out. I went online to one of the DUI websites and filled out my info, within about an hour I recieved a call from Mr. Miner with info to help my case free of charge. He also did ...not try or let me hire him on the spot, he told me to think about it, call around, and read his reviews to make a informed decision. We set up a time he would call me back later that day (Sunday). After hours of searching and review reading I decided he was the lawyer I wanted to represent me. When he called me back we discussed my case more in detail. One Monday he drove up to Ogden to meet with me before I trained him. I talked with him about my concerns since my case was time sensitive. I was a little apprehensive at first though because he didn't tell me what I wanted to hear....i wanted to hear your going to get off or don't worry about it, but he was strait forward with me and told me exactly what I could face, what I was facing, and how he could help me win. Which is why I chose him. He was very compassionate and understanding of my situation. He could have told me exactly what I wanted to hear but didn't and was honest from the start. I needed my case resolved quickly and effectively which is exactly what he did. He set up my DLD hearing (which unfortunately we lost), But through the DLD hearing he learned vital information and was willing to go the distance to win my case. Unfortunantly, I couldn't afford to take the time I needed because of the slow moving courts and I needed it done fast... so he settled my case fast and with the best out come possible. He got my charge reduced to impaired driving non-revertable, no community service, no jail time, and even got me released from having to get an alcohol assessment. In 60 days I can get my license back (unfortunantly I'll be out of country and have to wait till I return), he also told me how to set up my prime for life class. He is affordable and will work with you on payments, we talked once about payments and he didn't even bring it back up until the case was resolved. I was very fortunant to have had Mr. Miner in my corner. My case was settled in a little over a month which meet my needs. I would recommend Mr. Miner to anyone if they are charged with a DUI or any other matters. Do yourself a favor and atleast give him a call.
