This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

REGRET HIRING AND TRUSTING THIS INCOMPETENT POS

I had to go to the Utah State Bar, Office of Professional Conduct about this guy. I wouldn't hire this incompetent, sloppy, lazy, garbage attorney if my life depended on it. Worst and most embarrassing representation I've ever had. The best he'll do is humiliate you and make your legal issues worse t...han they were before. Stay away from this obviously inexperienced unknown lazy sloth, and spend your time and money on counsel who actually earn it. Public Defenders do a better job than this joke.

I would only call Mr anderson

I have used Mr.Anderson many times to represent my son and I have always been impressed with the fact that he treats us like family. He gets to know you and works to help you anyway he can. I would recommend him to anyone that feels lost.

Posted by Emma | August 10, 2015

Honest, affordable, and knowledgeable!

Mr. Anderson made sure I understood every aspect of my case and always kept me informed. He was available to answer questions at all hours of the day. I couldn't be happier with his services, nor with the outcome of my case.

Highly Recommended!

Mr. Anderson represented me in a possession case. He was able to use his vast experience as a prosecutor to get my case thrown out at a suppression hearing. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Posted by Andrew | April 14, 2015

Amazing!

I hired Mr. Anderson to help me with a DUI. He took the time to explain everything to me face-to-face. Whenever I contacted him he would return my call or email within a few hours. He was able to use his years as a former prosecutor to get me amazing results. I would recommend Mr. Anderson to any...one.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
