Robert C. Miner

I had a court case back in 2008 and Robert Miner represented me. Fast forward 11 years and the court had put a warrant out for me, saying I had not turned something in. It was so ridiculous. Even though so much time had passed and he was no longer representing me, he still was very responsive to my e...mails and phone calls, and assisted me pro bono in getting my case dismissed. Awesome lawyer that really cares, even 11 years later.

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%.

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’ve hired Rob on multiple ocations spanning over a decade. I’ll spare the details of the charges other than they have ranged from Class C misdiminors to two 3rd degree felonies. Every case was handled with precise detail and attention. Every phone call was returned and every question addressed. If i...t wasn’t answered it was probably the wrong question to ask. He will not make promosises he can not keep. This man came to visit me in jail... If I ever needed someone fighting in my corner and looking out for my best interest it was Rob Minor. I’m very thankful for my current status as free individual with the same rights and privlages that only law I abiding citizens get to enjoy. I do not have a felony on my record. Rob has guided me through very dark times. If he advises you to do something, DO IT! If you know the law better than Rob, then represent yourself. Best of luck to you.

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.
