Sorry to hear about that Nephi. Commissioner Petersen does not work for the firm anymore. Maybe a different venue for your complaints would be better.

1 star well earned. .... Sean Petersen was an effective lawyer, much like his father. However, as a Comissioner, he was charged with the civil duty to review and address the needs of the citizens in his cases. Without bias or an officious attitude. He was sworn in January 2018, and was assigned to my case in early June. I was quite disappointed in how he handled my case. I was proactive about submitting evidence and documents ahead of schedule, and when you can't afford an attorney in a civil matter, the judge/commissioner's ability (or inability in this case) to properly mitigate unfair resolution can have a severe impact on the outcome of the case. The outcome can have a severe impact on one's life (career, background check, etc.) I did everything I could to show him that the petitioner (my ex-fiance) was abusing the judicial process and using defamatory statements to fuel her never-ending quest for revenge. I submitted numerous documents that substantiated my claims, provided notarized witness statements, and requested these witnesses be subpoenaed. I also gave a lengthy personal statement (5 pages) in regards to the impact these issues were having on my career, my friends and family, and my ability to freely maneuver in life. As for the firm itself, I consulted with 2 separate attorneys, asking for legal counsel and for pro-bono hours. I brought to them the same documents I submitted to the court and they weren't willing to represent me or give me enough advice to shoot me in the right direction. They didn't want to represent me because they were cconcerned about Commissioner Petersen's recusal affecting their careers. He is the largest shareholder of this firm. The Judicial system is littered with bias, favoritism, and pay-to-play politics that make it difficult for any reasonable citizen involved to truly benefit from it. I've been a local taxpayer for quite some time and was not given adequate or fair treatment. However, the tax-payer funded salaries of these individuals were accepted regardless, and is not based upon their performance as an elected, sworn official. As a Criminal Justice major, I'm passionate about the affect our local judicial authorities have on the community. I'm very passionate about the fair and equal treatment of tax payers that are often dragged into legal battles without proper education or representation. I'm also passionate about money not affecting the decisions of these representatives, and that honor and principle prevail. There is no need to rush these cases. Both sides need to be heard. Both parties need representation and stamping or electronically signing papers that have real world consequences attatched to them isn't enough. If you've made it this far then in my review, I am grateful and maybe you can relate. If you are one of the members mentioned above, surely you agree that changes can and should be made to improve the system. If you are a politician and would like to advocate for effective change, start with reforming the judicial branch. The culture is toxic, dehuminazing, and lacks philosophical and ethical back bone. And although I acknowledge there are plenty of honest and hardworking Americans involved, the system itself is fractured and needs an overhaul of reform. The scales must be balanced, and lady justice cannot be blinded by the systems self-perpetuated bias. My favorite cases that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of our judicial system are: Madison v. Marbury & Dred Scott v. Sanford & Brown v. Board of Education

These guys are terrible. My daughter went through a divorce, they didn't follow up and weren't responsive or timely, and when the final divorce documents were prepared they screwed up several of the provisions and then their bill was double what they quoted.

A little while ago, my wife and I asked Pete Lattin to prepare a Will for us. He was very knowledgeable about Wills. He wasn't just interested in preparing a Will, but he took the time to answer all of our questions and explain to us all the issues with the Will. He also made sure that we were including all the correct provisions in our Will. We are very grateful for his advice and expertise. I know that if I have any further questions that occur later, I can give Pete a call or send him an email and he will respond quickly, as he has many times before. There have been several attorneys that I have worked with and Pete has been one of the best to work with because of his knowledge, responsiveness, and approachability. Thanks Pete!!

Forget the guys you see and TV. Ken Parkinson is by far the best personal injury attorney in Utah. Knowledgeable and very personable. He thoroughly explains things without making you feel unintelligent. Highly recommend!

I would not recommend them to anyone. Howard Lewis & Petersen left me looking foolish and did nothing to help me or my case. I wanted to make a formal complaint and was told by Mr Lambert that he and Mr Parkinson would get back to me promptly after they reviewed the complaint. that was over 4 months ago and nothing yet! They did not care about me as a client, and I cant imagine them caring about you!
