Who is the Best Utah Child Custody Lawyer for Mothers?

There are lots of child custody lawyers in Utah.

Some try to specialize in helping only mothers, and they spend lots of money advertising specifically to women.

We all know, however, that advertising doesn’t mean you’re actually good at what you advertise.

So, the question becomes: how you do you find a good Utah child custody attorney for mothers?

If I were hiring an attorney and answering this question for myself, here are a few of the things I would consider:

Good child custody lawyers have the ability to help both men and women equally.

Being a skilled attorney is about having the capacity to consider a case from all sides and fashioning the best arguments with the facts at hand.

If an attorney is only able to do that effectively for one gender, then that attorney is not terribly skilled.

Seeing things from only one side makes attorneys shortsighted and less effective in court.

So, the best child custody attorney for mothers is the one who can do a good job for everyone.

Advertising costs money, and that money is recouped in fees to clients

When attorneys spend lots of money advertising to one particular segment of the population (in this case, women), then their fees will probably be higher.

They may recoup the costs in the hourly fees their attorneys charge, or maybe in increased fees charged for their paralegals.

Some recoup it by nickel-and-diming their clients, e.g., charging for photocopies and the like.

Only serving one gender means an attorney is seen a certain way (usually not great) by the Court.

When attorneys serve only women, they tend to have a certain reputation with commissioners and judges.

While commissioners and judges might respect them for their legal knowledge, these attorneys are often not considered overly persuasive because they make the same arguments for the same subset of the population day after day.

After a while, that repetition can get old and stale.

What Does all this Mean in the End?

In the end, the best Utah child custody attorney is the one who can effectively serve every client.

The law is the law, and men and women should be treated equally under it. Likewise, attorneys should serve male and female clients equally well.

Go find the best attorney you can, whom you get along with, and whom you feel will serve you with dignity, knowledge, and respect.

That is the recipe for success.

I would hands down suggest Brown Family Law. Nathaniel helped me with my divorce, and he was very knowlegeable and knows his stuff. He helped me file a motion, get somethings changed in the original decree, helped me understand the terms they use, helped me understand how child support is calculated along is all the financial aspects associated with divorce case. He also is very responsive to phone calls and emails which was very helpful whenever I had small questions. Thank you Nathaniel!

Response from the owner: Andrew, thank you for your kind words.

I can’t say enough good things about Brown Family Law, but more specifically, my lawyer David Handy and his paralegal Dani. They are kind and honest and always available to me when I’ve needed them! This is such an exhausting time and they alleviated all of my stress by taking control. I could trust the process knowing I was in great hands!!! The entire law firm works as a team to take care of you! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!!

Response from the owner: Ryan, so glad David and Dani served you so well and alleviated your stress.

They handled my case with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity and made every effort to be efficient and transparent with me throughout the whole process. I was told that they were the best as far as family law is concerned and I believe that praise was fully justified.

Response from the owner: Ben, thank you.

Amber McFee is always professional and great to work with. Being opposing counsel by nature is adversarial, but Amber is professional in approach while effectively advocating for her clients. She will treat you right!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Jonathan.

Devin R

Overall from start to finish the best experience to have dealing with a time that is difficult.Andrew Christensen is very professional and out going to make this situation the best it could be and worked hard to make sure the divorce was fair for me.Over all, this firm really cares and treats you as a family or friend and just not a client, down to Marco Brown taking time to see how I was doing and offer to help in any way possible during my divorce while I was there for my first initial meeting.I would highly recommend anyone that has to go through a divorce to really reach out to the Brown Family Law firm and see for your self the experience I was able to receive from a top notch law firm.

Response from the owner: Devin, thank you for the kind words. Andrew appreciated the opportunity to help you with your situation.
