Utah Couples Divide Marital Assets in Private, Unlike Celebrities

When standing in the checkout line at a local grocery store, Utah residents often peruse the headlines of the gossip magazines. Sometimes, they read about the life of their favorite actors and stars in some sort of torment. It does not seem to matter whether the story is about the wedding of the decade or the horrific divorce that has quickly become a fight over marital assets. The life of a celebrity seems to have something that everyone wants to know about.

The thought of comparing the lives of celebrities to those of the rest of us makes some people uncomfortable. People often see celebrities as rich and famous people who seem to have the “perfect life,” at least until there is a scandal. It may come in the form of a drug addiction problem, an alcohol related arrest or a cheating spouse caught in flagrante. The public is fascinated about the problems of the wealthy and famous.

The mere fact that, in most cases, the average person has a tax bracket significantly lower than many celebrities does not seem to matter. Celebrities may not seem to have to worry about childcare and other day-to-day expenses, although many of them do. The truth is that they experience the same pains that everyone else feels — it is just announced to the rest of the world when they do. Nevertheless, the marital assets to be divided often seem to be multi-million dollar mansions and luxury cars instead of a small townhouse or small town single family home.

If given the choice of a Hollywood or fairy tale marriage or a real life one, many people would choose the quieter and simpler life. Regardless of lifestyle, when a couple decides to divorce, it is normally preferable to confront the issues to be decided privately — away from the paparazzi and without the judgment of the public. Utah residents may feel relieved that, when a couple decides to file for divorce, the proceedings do not necessarily have to up for debate by the world as to how the marital assets are to be divided. Whether the assets are substantial or modest, those couples that are able to focus on cooperating to achieve a settlement that is fair to both parties may find it easier to move forward toward the next phase of their lives.

You get what you pay for, and the Brown Family team is worth every penny. We truly appreciated their team-based approach, making sure that every detail of our case was thoughtfully handled. They were incredibly easy to work with, kept us informed throughout the process, and made sure no question ever went unanswered. By far the best family attorneys I’ve worked with, and the only ones I’ll call if I ever need legal help again.
Response from the owner:Chris, thank you. Glad we were able to guide you through your process.
Andrew made the whole process smooth and quick! Kept me updated on any changes, and followed up with me constantly!

David Handy is my attorney and he is excellent. He understands my cases and is well informed to defend my needs and the needs of my kids. He is supportive and compassionate. Telling me how things are and what to expect. He does very well with my high conflict cases (protective order and divorce). I highly recommend him and the Brown Family Law firm. Everyone I have talked to is helpful. Especially Conor Schetzel who is currently the paralegal on my cases.

When you’re going through a tough time and need legal help, this firm isn’t just a one-person operation. It’s a team of attorneys who work together to support you every step of the way. So you’re not just getting a lawyer, you’re getting a legal team behind you.

Navigating the legal system was a steep learning curve for me, and my situation was fairly complex. What stood out about this law firm was the way multiple attorneys collaborated to address my case. It wasn’t just one person working in isolation, but a team supporting each other to find the best path forward. That kind of collective effort is a real strength, especially in hard out complex situations like mine.

There was one issue I felt should have had a different outcome with the court. When I brought it up, the team responded in a very professional and respectful manner, which I truly appreciated. It came to my understanding that the legal system sometimes works in a way that is distant than I thought. This was presented to me in a way that someone outside of the legal system could understand.

In my experience, this firm takes the time to not only assist you, but also help you understand why things are happening. That made a big difference for me, and it’s something that really sets them apart.
Response from the owner:David, thank you for our conversation and taking the time to leave this review.
