Below average attorney

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%.

Replied last June 26, 2019

Augustus Chin left my office for a better employment opportunity. He has, since this time, been appointed to serve as the Holladay City Justice Court Judge. I pulled the file in this matter and re-acquainted myself with this case. This matter required cooperation regarding a criminal record in another state over which we had no control. This case required that we argue to the judge not to follow the law but to fashion a different remedy for a conviction which had been entered before we were counsel in this matter. I'm sorry we failed to meet this client's expectations. I have implemented changes to improve communication with clients and complaints are rare.

Nathaniel Garrabrandt

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I practice family law. A client of mine was in a potentially tough spot in a criminal matter, and Mr. Miner did excellent work for him and prevented what could have been a very unjust outcome. I will definitely recommend Mr. Miner to others in the future."

Thomas Weber

Medical malpractice lawyer | Dec 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Robert Miner is a rare type of lawyer. He has depth of understanding about the law, but also creativity and versatility to put his knowledge to use. I have had several opportunities to evaluate the savvy in his legal analysis. More importantly, perhaps, he is an accessible and down to earth person. He shares his knowledge freely and advances the cases of others without expectation of compensation. I believe his paid clients are greatly served by his passion for justice. He has an uncanny knowledge regarding experts and expert witnesses which makes Robert an invaluable resource in sophisticated cases involving complex fact sets. I would not hesitate to recommend him."

Personal injury lawyer | Dec 24

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Robert Miner is one of the top personal injury attorneys in Utah. He is extremely intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, exercises great judgment. I worked for Robert early in my career and I am grateful I had the opportunity to do so. Not all attorneys know how to assess the real value of a case (jury verdict or settlement value), Robert does. He is a great lawyer who understands how to maximize the value of a case. I endorse Robert Miner."
