Amazing lawyer
I hired Paul for 19 cases never thought it would turn out like it did he always kept me in touch with the cases. The time came after the 3rd court date and Paul got them all dismissed. He will fight for you all the way through. Anybody needs a lawyer this is the guy.

You should hire Paul
Paul is very knowledgeable and helped us navigate a very unique legal situation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody needing legal representation. He listens to you and then goes to work to get you the best possible resolution. Paul is a five star lawyer.

Paul Grant - If your looking for someone to defend you in a criminal case, look no further.
I met Paul some five years ago as my case started. He was always direct and honest with me about the situation I faced - and I always felt like I was getting the information I needed without filtering it, or overly being optimistic. Paul knows the law, and he also knows the legal system. Our case lasted an incredibly long 5 years - at one point we thought it was done, and then it came back with a vengeance. Paul breeds confidence, and he listens. Perhaps the most unique thing about Paul is that he cares. Paul was there through the whole experience. Later, given the case we faced, we brought in co-council (Tara Isaacson) and these two were an amazing team. I can't say enough good things about Paul (or Tara) to be honest, and if you find yourself needing council - seek out Paul. I certainly would.

Paul Grant - Excellent Criminal Lawyer
Paul Grant is the kind of lawyer that you want to have in your corner. Paul is smart, he's articulate, he has a presence about him that I think is so valuable in a criminal situation. Paul also listens to you and is truly interested in understanding the facts of the case. I don't think I ever called Paul that either he picked up or he called me within no more than an hour or two (including calls in the evening). Paul is a knowledgeable, experienced attorney who is adept in the court room and at talking to the opposition. He makes you confident, while at the same time giving you straight and honest answers and recommendations. He and the rest of my legal defense team were amazing and, at the end of the day, we achieved a very acceptable outcome that put all of us at rest. Would I use Paul again - heck yeah!

Excellent Lawyer
I retained Paul Grant to defend my son. He was charged with exploitation of a minor and sex with a miner. Paul did a fantastic job he was able to get all charges dropped and the case closed. If I ever need an attorney again Paul Grant would be the first one I would call. He has also given my family lots of free advice on different criminal situations.

The best in the west!!!!!
Paul Grant has represented my husband, my step daughter, my nephew, as well as my boss. My husband ended up goimg to prison due to his own neglegence and paul stood by not only him but me as well. The day he got sentenced. He came out and hugged me and told me he felt horrible. He has become a friend to all of us and he really cares about the people he represents. We had him help out our nephew with a case that would have put him in prison for a long time if not the remainder of his life, but because of his knowledge of the law and the people he knows it got dismissed. Then our daughter got into trouble with using a credit card that was not her's and once again Paul was there to help us. He got the cased dropped down to minor charges and she pays the money back and as long as she don't get into trouble she won't have a record, since she is only 19. Then my boss which owns a hotel here in Tooele. His dog Oden, had been accused of biting someone, which was false, again Paul came to the rescue to save Odie's life. Literally. The local police department and cheif of police wanted the dog to get euthanized, which broke everyone's heart. This turned my boss into a mess, knowing what the outcome could have been. But Paul went to the meeting that would decide the faite of this wonderful dog, and found many loop holes which had been over looked by the city. Paul brought this immediately to their attention and informed them the laws that was in place that would not allow them to take this dog from his owner merely on pure accusations. Well Odie is still here to this day thanks to the hard non-stop relenless work of Mr. Grant. I would reccomend him to everyone and anyone not only wanting an attorney , but a man with a big heart, and willinmg to do what it takes to give you the best chance at your desired outcome. He knows what he is doing and I have alot of people still with me today because of his hard work and dedication to his profession. I would not ever pay anyone else to represent me or my family besides Mr. Paul Grant. Give him a try and you too will be as happy as he has made all of us.

Honest Criminal Defense
Paul was honest and forthcoming about the legal options in my case. I feel he did an excellent job in laying out the best options to preserve my rights and keep my defense from becoming overly expensive. All around he's a good guy.

Grateful
Paul was professional and knowledgable. He could answer all my questions. He obviously has a great deal of experience. The minute I retained him my stress level went down. He made this bad time much easier than it ever would have been without him. I was very pleased with the results
