Best Law Firm In Town!

Melton Law and the attorneys Tony and William are, without a doubt, the best legal law firm in town. Their unwavering commitment to fighting for their client's rights and making the impossible possible is genuinely remarkable. As a client, I was impressed by their exceptional patience and expertise i...n answering my questions, no matter how complex or trivial they may have been. Mr. William and Tony answered all my overwhelming questions again and again without getting frustrated and I appreciate that! Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the moment I first contacted them, and they exceeded all of my expectations throughout the entire legal process. Their vast experience was reflected in the positive and the best outcome for my case and I am forever grateful for their invaluable assistance. I know who to call now if I ever get in trouble. They are the best! Thank you so much for your help!

Highly recommended

I got speeding ticket during my vacation, going downhill 5 mph over. My 1st ticket out of state and I was overwhelmed and stressed out until I found William. During my interaction, I found him - Hardworking and very easy to approach - Very Polite - Always available to answer ALL your questions... - He will keep you informed about all the updates I highly recommend his services, to anyone in need. I hope not but if I get a ticket again I am calling him right-away Thank you Williams Good luck !!!

Highly recommend

I would definitely use Melton Law again if I ever get into trouble again in Utah. He kept me very informed through the whole process, gave me all the options, and went over all the possible outcomes both good and bad. I really appreciated the communication.

A great person to count on

I got charged with criminal defamation for posting a true fact on facebook, that crime landed me a class B mistominer. I googled defense attorneys and read through many pages I came across Melton law and new that was the attorney for me. It was over the weekend and assumed I would get a email or call... back on the next business day and right then I got a call from William, he was very kind listened to everything going on and assured me he can help. After meeting him he was super fast and very determined to help me not just with this citation but with the problem at hand. It only took about two weeks before he got this fixed for me always keeping in contact with me at any time during the day. I will recommend him for any criminal defense he truly is a great person and knowledgeable attorney to have in your side.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"William and I went to Law School together and shared many of the same classes. We often studied together for our various finals and projects and it was there that I was able to witness William's devout determination and commitment to his clients, and his deep knowledge and understanding of the Law. Before Law School, William worked as a paralegal in criminal defense and he kept working as a paralegal and in other legal positions during law school. William and I both had an unquenchable thirst for legal knowledge through out Law school which resulted in both success in our classes and an early graduation. As we studied together and worked on projects together he continued to put the needs of the clients at his firm first while at the same time out scoring his peers on his graded assignments. I have no doubt that he now represents his own clients with the same determination and knowledge that he exhibited while in Law School, which is why I endorse William Melton."
