Posted by Laura Hewett Cabanilla | December 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Appeals

An excellent Appeals writer - Very intelligent!

Dallas is one of the brightest young attorneys in town. If you have an issue with an appeal, he is excellent. Our firm used him to extensively write and argue a new question of law in one of our personal injury cases...he knows his stuff!

Posted by Drew | February 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Appeals

I hired Dallas and he saved my butt...

I had a nasty divorce, it took 6 years and in the process I ended up getting a stalking injunction against my mother in law for breaking into our home, vandalizing my property, visiting with our neighbors and spreading rumors and slander. I did that myself and ended up with 8 counts of stalking again...st her. She is so vindictive she ended up waiting about a year and then used the some of the same incidents that were counted against her... to try to get an injunction against me. She submitted it in one district court outside of Utah County where the judge flat denied her request. He wrote "This does not constitute stalking!" and underlined it... He wrote denied right on the front cover. 2 weeks later she filed the same thing in the fourth district. The damned judge did not even let me and my divorce attorney present or defend me. He just gave her the Stalking Injunction she asked for. (I think judges are afraid if something were to happen... and they did not give one out... they would be in a jamb) I hired Dallas to appeal this. He did... and the writing was BRILLIANT... really. If you really want to look it up... Appellate cases are not closed in Utah and the case is public. My name is John Andrew Armstrong. Hers is Candace Peterson... just google it. It took forever it seems, not for Dallas but for the State Appellate court to make their call. Needless to say, we won and were awarded attorney fees. Dallas is top notch, I have referred him before to others as well who have had positive experiences. He is safe, effective and smart. Well worth your trust.
