Whether you have a smooth divorce or a rough one only one entity truly wins, the lawyers. That being said, Kent proved to have sound... judgment and was able to inject said judgment in key moments throughout my divorce process. He provided numerous potential routes per obstacle encountered, and did so in a upright and seemingly honest manner. Lawyers are expensive, you may as well get your money's worth by using Brown Family Law.read more

I highly recommend Brown Family Law. I met with Paul Waldron and our interaction was nothing less than stellar. I felt respected, seen,... heard, and supported. The consultation I received was non judgemental and clearly addressed all of my concerns. I have worked with several law firms in the SLC area over the years and I didn't go back because they weren't able to offer me an unbiased perspective. They truly didn't understand my unique legal situation. Brown Family Law has changed that and they will be my go to for legal needs from now on. I know Paul and the firm have my best interests at heart. Thank you Paul for your excellent advice!read more

I cannot say enough great things about these attorneys. It’s been a long journey. We’ve worked with several attorneys including Marco... himself, Clay, another attorney who is no longer at the firm, and finally Amber McFee. We’ve worked with Amber the longest and she is the one who ultimately settled our entire custody case for us.Amber is patient, understanding, kind, factual, and a freaking shark when she needs to be. She is also loyal and true to herself as a person and was alway good at telling us when we were wrong, when we were right, or if we just needed to change our mindset.After 1.5 years of fighting for equal time, 3 failed mediations, several court hearings, and thousands of emails back and forth Amber figured out what needed to happen and worked tirelessly to make it stick. Last night we signed for equal time and couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. We would recommend Amber and Brown Family Law a million times over.read more

2 ½ years ago I knew my 17 year marriage was coming to an end - I had no idea what lawyer to use, but I knew I needed to find a good one as... my ex was extremely conflict driven and had warned me multiple times that if we divorced she was going to make it as hard as possible and would refuse to just work it out between us.As I sat on my phone - looking at reviews for lawyers who were not in Utah County (as I worried my ex had already talked to any of the good ones to block me from using them) going through reviews and picked the top 3 contenders, called them and scheduled consultations. After speaking with each one - Brown Family Law (specifically Marco) was the only one that I walked away from feeling more at ease with the impending storm.Marco handed me off to Clay - who led me through a 2 ½ year extremely high conflict divorce. It took over 800 court filings, 3 different commissioners, 2 different judges, 2 different custody evaluators, 2 attempts at mediation to get it to completion (all of which were caused by delays by my ex). Not once during that time did I ever feel that I had made a mistake or second guess myself that I needed to go find a different lawyer. Clay was there - by my side giving me straight legal advice as well as just being a friend. In the meantime my wife went through lawyer after lawyer (4 lawyers in total) either being fired by them or firing them herself because she was not getting the outcome that she wanted.This all ended in a 2 day trial in December of 2022 - I cannot stress this enough. Not only was Clay able to get me what I was after - he exceeded it by getting me way more including sole legal custody of my kids - which went well above and beyond my expectations and I thought would only happen in my dreams.Anyone reading this review - I cannot stress this enough - Look no further, this is the law firm that you want to represent you. They will fight tooth and nail for everything that you deserve.read more
