Friendly and a go getter.

First time we ever had too hire an attorney and William was a quick responder, very friendly on the phone, extremely personable, understanding and got right work with us. Our case a a huge misunderstanding with the law and he took very good care of us from beginning to end. Flat rate and doesn't try ...to rip you off. Definitely would work with him again.

Sexual Assault Charges

I don’t normally write reviews, but William Melton was amazing in getting my case in Davis County for sexual assault dismissed. I received many solicitations in the mail from different law firms wanting my business, but I chose none of them. I had never imagined this happening to me and I knew that w...ith my entire future on the line, I needed the best, even if the cost was a little higher. I chose William Melton after researching all the different options I had. He was rated highly, not only by former clients but also by fellow attorneys. I appreciated that William explained everything in detail, especially with this being the first time I had ever gone through the legal system. Willian never made me feel stupid for asking tons of questions. I knew that he believed I was innocent and would do whatever was required to get the best outcome. William always responded to emails or phone calls. Through Williams's hard work behind the scenes and in court, he was able to get my case dismissed. When your entire future is on the line, it pays to get the best, even if it costs a little more. He was worth every penny. I have never been under more stress in my life than I was during this whole situation(Williams's confidence in getting this case resolved helped to reduce the stress). I am now able to get on with the rest of my life without this false accusation hanging over me. I would recommend Melton Law to anyone who finds themselves with serious legal charges.

Completely unresponsive and have pushed my case from 2022 all the way until now. 2 years later and nothing has been done. Not sure if only paid clients get the legal services they deserve but this has been a very hard 2 year struggle for a simple case that should not have been enhanced. Hiring a priv...ate attorney and seeking compensation for emotional distress and has affected my HIV care. Not to mention the court took 6 months to even charge me after I got my drivers license back.

Mr. Melton did a fantastic job on my case! He was very responsive and understanding. Also, was great on explaining the process on my situation so I wouldn’t be confused. I would highly recommend on hiring him again!

Melton Law Firm is excellent!

I am very pleased with William Melton Law Firm. While I was vacationing in Utah, I was stopped by the Utah highway patrol for speeding. Since I was from out of state, I knew it would be difficult to return and appear in court. My husband found OTR online who put me in touch with Melton Law Firm. Wil...liam Melton and Tony Robite handled my case in a professional and satisfying manner. My biggest concern was that the citation would not appear on my driving record. My attorneys answered all my questions in a clear and concise manner. They returned my phone calls and conversations within minutes! They made me feel comfortable with the plan of action. I put my faith in them to resolve the problem and they did! I had to pay a fine to the Court but the ticket will not appear on my record! Great job!

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."
