Kent Cottam – Family Law Attorney
Kent Cottam
Kent was born, raised and lives with this wife and children near Salt Lake City, Utah.
Kent earned three different Degrees, Japanese, Asian Studies, and Communications, from the University of Utah. While working through the Communications Degree, he focused on mediation and conflict resolution, to effectively prepare him for law school.
“Although I attended law school in Omaha, Nebraska, I always wanted to return and live back near Salt Lake”, said Kent, who joined the Brown Family Law team in 2022.
Kent considers one of his favorite family law cases to be involved with was when he and his wife adopted their children. When Kent is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing board games and camping.

Brown Family Law did an exceptional job handling my case. Daniel Young and Carren were always very professional. During times of stress... Daniel was always understanding of my situation, feelings and frustrations. He’s an excellent problem solver. I was always able to get in touch with him when I needed. If he happened to be busy at that moment Carren was always there to take my call/answer my questions and relay them to Daniel. I was always kept informed with what was happening and what the next steps would be. At times it would get confusing but Daniel and Carren were great at helping me understand and making sure I was comfortable with things moving forward. Both Daniel and Carren consistently checked in with me regarding my case every week and that let me know that I was being taken care of and not just another number. I will recommend Daniel and Carren to anyone who needs legal help. Trust them, they will get the job done!read more

Hello All. My case was a very difficult case. However, I had the best Firm, Brown Family Law, and the best lawyer, Ray Hingson. Ray... worked very hard and would contact me, regularly, with anything important. He respected and understood my views on any issue and, many times, we were on the same page. Ray is all about getting the job done quick and right. Ray consulted with other great lawyers, as they regularly do at this firm. He showed a lot of respect for my family and I; I appreciate that my case and situation was considered carefully.If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have chosen differently with Brown Law and I am so glad Ray took on my case. My case wasn't easy, but the best outcome, given the situation, came through. Thank you.read more
