Worst law firm I've ever dealt with. I retained this attorney to go through a divorce with minimal assets. This attorney agreed to outrages items that I had to abide by when in only the temporary orders. This attorney charged over $4,000.00 in as I said a divorce with one house and minimal assets!!!! I had agreed to a Psycho-Sexual evaluation as my divorce was due to infidelity. My attorney told me in court to agree to the terms which he said was just like a normal psych evaluation which is normal. After talking to my second attorney I had to retain after firing this attorney that is not even true that a regular psych evaluation is agreed to unless there is any type of history of mental illness. The psycho-sexual evaluation that my attorney referred to as normal is meant for rapists, pedophiles, sexual predators and people found guilty of a sexual crime. It cost $1,200 more than what he said it might cost me and took 5 hours to complete. This all had to be done as a condition before adjusting my visitation rights to my daughter. This was repulsive and offensive. The Dr that I had to visit for this evaluation, found it absurd that I would have ever agreed to that and suggested that I file suit against that attorney. The therapist said that the attorney should have known as part of his job that this was not just a simple evaluation and continued to apologize to me that I had to undergo this process. The law suit will be in process and I've started a formal complaint with the Utah State Bar. This therapist had NEVER heard of an attorney agreeing to this in any case that wasn't sexual crimes in nature. This attorney didn't even know what he was telling me to agree to and after trying to fight it in court with a new attorney the commissioner still required it before I could see my daughter because the attorney at Eveland said that I should agree to it. Next up my attorney also agreed to a normal Psych evaluation. This was only $300 on top of all the other fees I had been paying. The therapist I met for this again said he never had anyone without any signs of illness or issues agree to this. He again suggested I file a complaint with DOPL and the Utah State Bar and potentially sue this attorney for damages. This is again now in the process. This attorney told me he was working in my best interest which is a joke. He joined me in court for one hour of evidence... And the next time in court where he agreed to all these terms for me including the evaluations and such was scheduled for 10 but he had told me it was scheduled for 9 in the morning causing me and some family members to miss additional work and he billed me for that additional hour. After all of what was 4 hours in court and two responses to documents this attorney charged over $4,000 total. Currently I am fighting their small claims that they have filed. The first time I went to court for the small claims was February 10th where the judge dismissed it because they didn't even show up. The next time I go for the same claim they show up without any evidence and require me to go back for a third time to court over outstanding and unreasonable fees. The attorney that they hired to represent them came unprepared and now is requesting the additional time to take me back to court. I've now started filing the complaint with the Utah State Bar, the Department of Professional Licensing and will be filing suit against this company for the additional nearly $6,000 I had to accrue with additional attorneys, therapists, and court fees to get me to a point where I was divorced and had the rights to my daughter. I've never done anything criminal and yet my attorney found a way for me to be treated as a rapist! The evaluation in itself is criminal for someone who has never committed a sexual crime. Then after only 4 hours of court he wants to charge $4,000 for not even getting my divorce complete. I had a better chance of having better terms without the horrible attorney that represented me from this firm. Look up Eveland and their fraud and being convicted of their crimes outside of family law. This place is horrible and I can't even explain in any more words how horrible they were. Overcharging and taking me to court for money they didn't earn. I also, have NEVER received an itemized bill from Eveland!!! NEVER! This law firm is full of crooks and criminals who will not do their fiduciary duty to help you. I need to not only be compensated for the excess charges and the $6000 in fees that I had to pay to get me out of this mess. But, I missed some of the most valuable time with my daughter because of the terms this attorney told me to go by. Ridiculous and absurd are words that describe this law firm. A complete joke. Do NOT use this firm. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THIS FIRM! Hopefully you don't make the mistake I did and lose time with your loved ones because of these jerks. read more

As far as I am concerned Attorney Jeremy Eveland is the top family law attorney in all of Utah -- Prior to hiring Jeremy, I was involved in a four year divorce battle in Salt Lake City, Utah. My now ex-husband had filed for divorce and tried to take virtually all the marital property as his own. He was stationed in the military and I was living out of state. We had a business too, and because Jeremy has an MBA and understands business, that was huge when it came to valuation of it to make sure I didn't get screwed. Anyway, I had gone through two other attorneys in Salt Lake and some located in other cities in Utah.I had nothing but problems with them. They wouldn't move the case forward. They wouldn't get me copies of documents. They wouldn't call me back. There are both good and bad lawyers out there and I can't say enough about Jeremy. He is kind, understanding and I could tell he wanted to help me. I had to get my mom to help pay for him, but it was worth every penny. These other attorneys would miss deadlines on filing documents,and basically not keep me informed about what was going on. Long story short, I was referred to Jeremy Eveland. Holy Smokes!! A God send! First, I spoke with his staff (both Karen and Lea were great); then when I spoke with Jeremy, he listened to all my fears and problems with other lawyers. Jeremy or his staff always called me back and documents were given to me when I needed them. He explained how the process worked and told me what to expect. The best part was that he is amazing in court - he is confident and speaks clearly. He's not afraid to argue aggressively and you could tell he's been in court before. It spite of my ex-husband and his dumb attorney's efforts to drag everything out as long as possible, Jeremy came on board and what was four years was concluded in 6 months once I got him on board. Being out of state was hard too, but this guy knows what he's doing. Don't waste your time with other lawyers. Give Jeremy a call. I can't thank him enough. read more

I, unfortunately, must do a bankruptcy. I absolutely don't want to but unfortunate events in life makes it necessary. I found Ascent Law on google as I searched for an attorney. They were automatically very helpful, respectful, understanding, and easy to feel safe with. They weren't the first I called but I will say 100% that all my first calls to other attorneys scared me! I thought I wouldn't be able to do it as I'm on a very low income status at this time due to medical issues and all others wanted more than I could dream of being able to afford. When I called Ascent, they were so nice. And not an unreasonable price. As I am taking my slow time getting together my paperwork needed they gave been very patient and understanding. No judgment at all. Each staff member I have had the pleasure of speaking to has been so nice, especially during these crazy times in life right now. This pandemic had made beasts out of the best of us, but even with my special circumstances, that I'm sure would irritate anyone, I have never been belittled or made to feel any type of way other than they are really here for me to help me! I have so much to get done with them still and the only thing stopping me is me. It has been pleasure finding Ascent Law! I will continue my case to the fullest. And I will recommend then to anyone needing to locate an attorney for this type of situation. Thank you Ascent Law read more

In 2013 I was involved in an unfortunate long distance visitation and child custody dispute. My local lawyer referred me to Jeremy Eveland saying: "I know Jeremy and he is the best" and I'm glad I took his advice because he's right. I have had the pleasure of having Mr. Eveland as my legal counsel in Utah from that time until the dispute was resolved. He is a kind and caring man who (I feel) really tries to help and understand the situation so he could represent me properly. He's also not afraid to tell you like it is and his honest opinion. I should tell you that I also worked with Mike and Jim in his office. They are good lawyers too. Once, Mike had to attend the hearing for me because Jeremy had a conflict. I guess you can't be everywhere at the same time. His staff (Lea, Nicole and Karen) were also very helpful and nice during this hard custody case. They even had recommendations for me about changing schools, etc. They are caring, considerate, aggressive, and very knowledgeable about Utah law. Ultimately we prevailed in the case and because of that, I would highly recommend Jeremy and his firm to anyone who is in need of a world class family law attorney. read more

I have been an entrepreneur for the last 20 years and after using Jeremy Eveland as my attorney 13 years ago, I've never used another attorney. You see, Jeremy has represented huge companies like Alcoa, Sears, and banks. He's also been involved in multi-unit real estate acquisitions and development. He's been on the real estate investor's side and he's been a city attorney for 2 different cities. Jeremy has even been a judge in Herriman, Taylorsville, and West Valley City. So you know, just like me that he knows his stuff. This is why I go to Jeremy every time I am purchasing a new rental property or need help with one of my companies. He is both very professional and he works outside the box. His experience and knowledge combined with his business background is perhaps what impressed me the most. If you need a business or real estate lawyer, you need Jeremy Eveland on your side. Jeremy saved me from making a mistake that would have cost me over $100,000. I have worked with other attorneys in the past, but I only use Jeremy now. My highest recommendation. read more

I'm just moved to Utah and didn't know anyone who could help me with an issue I was having with a medical facility. Someone had highly recommended attorney Trevor Fugate at Ascent Law. He gave me a free consultation and a fair quote for a demand letter and mediation services. I was going back and forth with a medical facility about some concerns I had and was getting no where. Hiring Trevor to help me was a last resort. After Trevor contacted the facility, now they wanted to talk. Trevor mediated my case and I was pleasantly surprised about the outcome of my case. For sure, if I would not have hired attorney Trevor, I would not have gotten my money back from the hospital. I felt like he cared about my case. My family and I are so grateful for your help. Thank you Trevor! read more

Jeremy Eveland is the real deal. I've used him 3 times in the last 11 years and I return each time a legal issue comes up. He is very easy to work with and genuinely cares about getting you results. He's told me a few times - "it's okay to give up something you don't care too much about to get the thing you really do care about." In our last case, I won in court thanks to his advice and saved a fortune on legal fees by listening to him. He's done divorce issues, business issues and a car accident case for me. He really impressed me and calmed my fears from the time I had my free consultation. He is responsive and giving with his time and experience. If he wasn't great - I'd leave no review - but he gets back to me and does what he says. read more

I needed to amend several documents that required legal assistance, and my experience with Ascent Law was excellent from start to finish. I spoke with Patrick, who was both knowledgeable and exceptionally helpful throughout the process. There was never any pressure to retain the firm's services; however, having worked with them previously, I felt completely confident moving forward. Patrick carefully reviewed each item in the service agreement with me, ensured I understood the process, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I truly appreciated the professionalism, transparency, and personalized attention I received. I highly recommend this personable and trustworthy law firm -- a rare find today. read more

Currently working with Ascent law, I have had a couple great paralegals take over my case and with a group effort we have been on top of filing all motions in court for me to finally meet my son.

Business litigation lawyers Mike, Jim and Jeremy are probably the most confident and professional trial attorneys I've ever worked with. I've been in the courtroom before and I can tell you there are some bad attorneys out there - trust me -- they know their stuff. They make deals work and fight hard for you. My commercial construction business has been in good hands since I trusted them to protect me and my company. Honestly, they have exceeded all of my expectations. I am extremely pleased with my civil litigation results and would highly recommend them to represent you and your corporation too. read more

I was over $50,000. in debt when I called Ascent Law. There was absolutely no way I could get out from under this weight, although I made my payments on time, the interest alone made it impossible for me to pay off my debts. I was completely overwhelmed. Ascent Law made it possible for me to start Living Again without all the excess stress. I am so grateful for all the help & support through the whole process, and the professional manner in which they handled my case. Thank you so much to the entire team that helped guide me through the entire bankruptcy. I will ever be grateful! read more

I would highly recommend Mike Anderson, Jim and Jeremy for their expert legal advice. Their legal team has helped us successfully fix some very complex legal agreements in our cellular telephone business. Having several stores and a few ongoing legal issues, I was more than satisfied with the work that they did in such a friendly, timely manner. I know that if they hadn't suggested that I take a certain course of action, our business would have suffered and we may have had to even close a store. Commercial leases are complex and thanks to Jeremy, we avoided a huge problem. read more
