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 absolutely believe that Brown Family Law is the best divorce attorney law firm in Utah. Attorney Ray Hingson did a fantastic job for me in a complicated divorce. He was there to guide me through the entire process. Ray touched base with me every week AND every time I called with worries or concerns. He handled things confidently and professionally. He took time to meet with me and explain everything so I could understand it. I felt like he really cared and wanted to do his best for me. His paralegal, Carren Leavitt, was also extremely helpful. All I had to do was pick up the phone and call her and she arranged a time for Ray to call me right back. She was always prompt and caring. I couldn't be happier!
Anne and Josh are Fantastic!!

Leilani Whitmer was my attorney for mediation day at the provo 4th district court on May 9th and absolutely knocked it out of the park. She made the process so smooth and easy I'd recommend her for any family law issue you could possibly fathom.
Clay Randle is absolutely amazing, well educated, knowledgeable lawyer. He’s approached, always makes sure you’re on the top of the situation and very helpful. I’ve had a pleasure working with him and I recommend him as your top notch attorney.
