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.

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!

Made me feel at ease throughout the whole process and made sure I felt seen/ heard!
Response from the owner:Joselyn, thank you for the kind words.
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.
Response from the owner:Suzanne, thank you and glad David has taken care of you.
Nathaniel Garrabrandt and Brown Family Law is where I send people who are seeking Divorce. Highly professional and compassionate. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Jaren, thank you for the referrals.
I cannot say enough good about my experience with Brown Family Law. Ray Hingson and paralegal Carren did an excellent job with my case. I will definitely use this firm again for any legal issues.
Response from the owner:Meghann, so glad Ray and Carren took good care of you.
I have worked with Andrew Christensen many times in a variety of situations. I am very impressed with his friendly demeanor in a difficult situation. I would highly recommend him to you without any reservations.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Monica.
Highly recommend Brown Family Law. Life is hard, divorce is harder, and Andrew Christensen is your guy to help you through to the other side.
Response from the owner:Mike, thank you for the kind words and the referrals.
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.
My experience with Jennifer and Brown Family Law was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning of my initial consultation all the through until my case was settled, I was well taken care of and updated every step of the way. I felt like my team genuinely cared about the outcome of my case, which was refreshing. You get what you pay for, and Brown Family was worth every penny. To say I highly recommend this group is an understatement.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much, Steve. Glad Jennifer took good care of you.
Andrew Christensen was a great divorce lawyer. He is very experienced, professional, and was great to work with during this difficult process.
Response from the owner:Casey, thank you and so glad Andrew served you well.
