Clay, Melanie, and everyone at Brown Family Law were amazing to work with! Divorce is stressful but they made the entire process so smooth... that by the end I asked “That’s it??” They were very professional and the communication was outstanding! I never questioned where we were at or what was next, I was never in the dark. They kept me totally involved in every move they made and I would recommend them to anyone needing help! I can’t thank them enough!read more

Working with Clay Randle at Brown Family Law was a great experience.

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

EXCEPTIONAL!!! I wouldn't give a 5 star review if it wasn't deserved. I usually write bad reviews. This is not one of them. I want to... give a hats off to Kent Cottam and Carren Leavitt! I want to let any of you know who are going through a divorce and have kids, that had I gone with someone else I would have not gotten the outcome that I got, because of Kent. Thank you Kent! Brown Family Law was a blessing to me, because I can honestly say if it wasn't for Kent I would NOT have gotten more parent time with my son. He did an exceptional job. I can't give enough praise and gratitude to him. Carren was exceptional too, she kept things so organized. Because of the stress and difficulties that came with divorce, I would have never been able to stay as organized if it wasn't for Carren!Thank you again to both of you. Anyone that is going through a divorce should choose Brown Family Law and have Kent and Carren represent you. You absolutely could not go wrong with them.read more

I’m writing this review, specifically about Carren Leavitt. Carren is the absolute, hands down, no questions about it, best Paralegal in... the Family Law Business! Trust me…I’ve had several experiences with working with Family Law Attorneys and their Paralegals. Many of you may know, or even if you don’t, the Paralegals are the ones that you interact with, and communicate with most. There’s bad ones, mediocre ones, good ones, excellent ones, and then there is the Carren Leavitt level of Paralegals! Carren knows how to communicate, always responsive and available, knows what to do and how to do it, solution oriented, extremely hard working, takes pride in being the best of the best! Carren Leavitt is what I would refer to as an “Expert” and absolute professional! And this review is coming from a person that has high expectations of others, especially in the professional arena…so, to get a 5 Star Review from me, then that says it. I’d gratefully, with gratitude, write a 100 Star Review (if that were possible) about the Paralegal Expert, Carren Leavitt!read more

I was opposing counsel on a highly contentious case against a client represented by Amber McFee. Amber was not only professional; she was... solution-oriented, creative and hard-working. She is a fantastic attorney who knows how to strike that necessary balance of zealously representing clients and working toward long-term resolution. What makes her even more unique, in my opinion, is just how delightful she is to work with -- even as the "opposition." There are too many lawyers out there who can't see the forest through the trees; Amber is not one of them. She's a "big picture" thinker, and she can always be counted on to do the right thing. I can't speak highly enough about her.read more

As a divorce lawyer myself, I have never seen another law firm that cares so much about their clients. Marco and his team consistently... emphasize that they do things that their competitors will not. They only do divorce and help families through the system. Because of that, they have better processes in place so their clients are better informed and get better results than with other firms.They care so much that they took time to share with me how they do things so I can better serve my clients. I learned a lot, and we will be implementing what we have learned to better help our clients. If you need a divorce lawyer, do not hesitate to contact this firm today.read more

You are going through one of the most difficult times in your life. Just like I did. Divorce is difficult. Divorce is messy. The... heartache and pain, stress and uncertainty of leaving a person you’ve bonded with deeply is immense. Now, you have to find an attorney and legal team that can hold safe and understanding space for this experience. It’s hard to trust anyone when you’ve seen the inner darkness and strife divorce can cause between two people.Carren Leavitt created this safe container. She is, without a doubt, the most compassionate paralegal professional in the state of Utah. If not nationally. She genuinely cares about her clients. She is quick to respond, understands the process, but most importantly she knows personally the emotional toll divorce takes on both parties.If you are reading this review you’ve come to the right place. The team at Brown Family Law, especially Carren, are going to work diligently to ensure you are receive the best possible outcome. Schedule your consult today. You won’t be disappointed.You won’t find another attorney and paralegal team like this. Not anywhere.Thank you Carren for everything you’ve helped me with. I’m grateful. Always.read more

Shepherding You Through the Challenge of When the Law Meets a Broken Marriage
No one enters into a marriage thinking it will end in divorce, but unfortunately, divorce happens. If you’re having marital problems and are faced with the reality of a broken marriage, you will need to make some very difficult decisions. One of those decisions may be whether or not to seek legal counsel for a divorce.
Seeking legal representation is not always necessary, but because divorce is a legal-matter, there are some key legal aspects that you should be aware of.
There are specific laws that will govern how your divorce is handled in the state of Utah. Experienced divorce attorneys will be familiar with those laws and rules, as well as the judges and commissioners who interpret those laws and rules, and can help you navigate the divorce process.

There are a few different ways to get divorced in Utah. The most common way is to file a divorce petition with the court. In order to do this, one of the spouses must have been a resident of Utah for at least three months. The divorce petition will state the grounds for divorce and ask the court to dissolve the marriage.
If both spouses agree on all of the terms of the divorce, they may be able to complete it without going to court. This is called an uncontested divorce. An attorney can provide the legal assistance to file the necessary paperwork and make sure that everything is done correctly.
If there are disagreements about some of the terms of the divorce, the divorce will be considered contested. In a contested divorce, the spouses will have to go to court and argue their case in front of a commissioner or judge. This can be a long and expensive process, and it is almost always best to seek legal representation if things start to get contentious.
If your legal team knows what they are doing, the first thing they will do is help you understand the laws and legal issues that will govern your divorce. Your lawyer will also help you negotiate any disputes with your spouse and advise you on the best way to resolve your case so you obtain the goals you’re looking for. If litigation is necessary, an attorney will represent you in court and make sure that your interests are protected.

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

I want to let any of you know who are going through a divorce and have kids, that had I gone with someone else I would have not gotten the outcome that I got, because of Kent. Thank you Kent! Brown Family Law was a blessing to me, because I can honestly say if it wasn't for Kent I would NOT have gotten more parent time with my son. He did an exceptional job. I can't give enough praise and gratitude to him. Carren was exceptional too, she kept things so organized. Because of the stress and difficulties that came with divorce, I would have never been able to stay as organized if it wasn't for Carren!Thank you again to both of you.

I’m writing this review, specifically about Carren Leavitt. Carren is the absolute, hands down, no questions about it, best Paralegal in... the Family Law Business! Trust me…I’ve had several experiences with working with Family Law Attorneys and their Paralegals. Many of you may know, or even if you don’t, the Paralegals are the ones that you interact with, and communicate with most. There’s bad ones, mediocre ones, good ones, excellent ones, and then there is the Carren Leavitt level of Paralegals! Carren knows how to communicate, always responsive and available, knows what to do and how to do it, solution oriented, extremely hard working, takes pride in being the best of the best! Carren Leavitt is what I would refer to as an “Expert” and absolute professional! And this review is coming from a person that has high expectations of others, especially in the professional arena…so, to get a 5 Star Review from me, then that says it. I’d gratefully, with gratitude, write a 100 Star Review (if that were possible) about the Paralegal Expert, Carren Leavitt!read more

I was opposing counsel on a highly contentious case against a client represented by Amber McFee. Amber was not only professional; she was... solution-oriented, creative and hard-working. She is a fantastic attorney who knows how to strike that necessary balance of zealously representing clients and working toward long-term resolution. What makes her even more unique, in my opinion, is just how delightful she is to work with -- even as the "opposition." There are too many lawyers out there who can't see the forest through the trees; Amber is not one of them. She's a "big picture" thinker, and she can always be counted on to do the right thing. I can't speak highly enough about her.read more

Because of that, they have better processes in place so their clients are better informed and get better results than with other firms.They care so much that they took time to share with me how they do things so I can better serve my clients. I learned a lot, and we will be implementing what we have learned to better help our clients. If you need a divorce lawyer, do not hesitate to contact this firm today.read more

While the circumstances of mine and my ex's divorce were absolutely *not fun at all* Brown Family Law have been absolutely great to work... with and helped take the pressure of filing by myself off my shoulders at a time that was painful and frustrating.My ex ended up in jail and they knew all the processes to get all the paperwork to and from him without having to have me deal with him. Brown Family helped me to get my kids names changed and later when I had issues helped me through that.I'm extremely thankful for their help and would recommend them.read more

Paul Waldron was extremely helpful in handling my divorce. He is very familiar with the aspects that affect military members and he is very... helpful with figuring out what is best for children. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so. In addition to my own divorce matters, Paul has helped my wife with the issues my wife's ex-husband constantly creates and has provided helpful guidance on getting her children the help they need to deal with the trauma they have experienced due to her ex.read more

I have a high conflict case, that is extremely complex. They took on my case in a really difficult time for me, dealing with relocation... issues. My case started in 2010 and two diffrent lawyers.Kent was on point, during the trial hearing, he made me feel confident that he cared about me and my child, and truly wanted the best outcome. He put up a good fight, when I was not strong enough.The office staff kept me in the loop every week, really help when I feel like all my choices have been taken from me.The only thing I wish I could change is; I wish I would have started with Brown Family law. 100% would recommend them.read more

Family Law Attorney
Before I came to Utah and won divorce attorney of the year, I grew up in a small village in Alaska called Cold Bay. My grandmother was an educator and professor. Because of her example, I always knew he would get a Ph.D. or professional degree, like a JD or an MBA. Being a lawyer fit my personality and my desire to help people, so I decided to go to law school where I graduated with distinction.
After law school, I worked at a law firm doing personal injury work. I defended insurance companies in car accident cases, worker compensation cases, slip-and-fall cases, etc. It was a terrible experience, and I only worked there for eighteen months before I left and moved to Utah in 2010 so my wife could pursue her doctorate in vocal performance.
2010 was not a good year for attorneys. Large firms of all kinds were shutting down because of the Great Recession. It was in this environment that I decided to open up my own law firm. In the beginning, I did everything: criminal defense, personal injury, family law, business litigation.
I also took cases all over the state: Utah County, Salt Lake, Vernal, St. George, Moab, Logan. I did anything and everything, everywhere. It was a classic mistake attorneys make, being a jack of all trades and master of none. Quickly, though, I realized my calling was to help families with divorce and child custody cases, so I stopped doing everything else and focused on family law cases.
Leaving criminal defense and personal injury and focusing exclusively on divorce was the best decision I have ever made. Now my legal team and I have one of the most comprehensive systems in the U.S. for helping our clients through the divorce process.
