Annulment in Utah

Utah law does allow for an annulment, but it is very challenging and very rarely granted. They are complex cases and the rules are very precise on what is allowed for annulment. I had a complex issue that I strongly believed constituted an annulment vs a divorce. Justin Ashworth conferred with ...me directly on multiple occasions and advised at the onset of the case that this would be a challenge and that there is no guarantee the Judge would grant an annulment and possibley make me choke down a divorce. I was worried as the Judge advised on preliminary hearing that he had never granted an annulment and wondered why a divorce would not apply., Justin Ashworth did his research in case law, conferred with me in person to obtaini exhibits and listen to my story. He developed a game plan on how to proceed throughout the process. Practiced with me and put together the case. Justin Ashworth was able to eloquently answer that question the Judge had asked why an annulment and not divorce. I was granted my annulment. This was indeed a challenging case and I am very pleased will the patience, professionalism work that Justin Ashworth provided. I hope I never have to use him again but if I had another family law issue, I definitely would not hesitate to use him again.

Simply outstanding attorney !

Before hiring Justin, I had hired another attorney (Ste... Ch.........). That attorney (Ste... Ch.........) was the worst attorney. The moment I hired Justin, I could see the differences and the progress in my divorce case. He is the ultimate professional. He answered my questions in detail. He retu...rned my call every time. He is very knowledgeable and understands your situations very well. He is simply outstanding. I would recommend anyone to him for the divorce matter. A+ to this attorney.
