Posted by Dave | August 10, 2015 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Personal and Business Attorney

I have known and worked with Chad for many years for many different situations. Personally he helped my wife and I with Business and Personal matters, such as potential Bankruptcy, estate planning and marital counseling. He has also been a great resource for me as a Principal Broker of a Real Estat...e Company, I have had several situations arise, that I needed his professional advice. He is always available, and if not right away he has gotten back to me quickly. We do not have him on retainer, but it's almost like I do. I have had agents use him and we have also paid him for services as well as just consultations. I would recommend Chad to anyone needing a hard working honest Attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Chad and I have associated on many activities in the Saint George area related to the J. Reuben Clark Law Society, but we recently had a case against each other. I considered it positive that Chad brought his engaging personality and sense of humor to his advocacy. He fought in a determined fashion, but we were able to talk opening about the case and our concerns. He is a great attorney and takes care of his clients."

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.
