Before we hired Ron Wilkinson we read reviews and wondered if the poor reviews were credible since they seemed so different compared to the good reviews. Well, after experiencing Ron Wilkinson firsthand for ourselves, we can confirm the poor reviews about him are credible. When we had our consultation, Ron told us quote, "I can probably get this case resolved with one phone call." And he said that we would get the rest of our "retainer back to spend on Christmas." We understood it wasn't a guarantee but that it was a good probability he could get the case resolved with one promised phone call since that is what he told us. Ron never made that promised phone call. We emailed him and called the office countless times over the next 6 weeks. We did not receive replies to our emails or any callbacks. We finally scheduled a phone call in advance to speak with Ron, which costs almost $400 an hour. We asked Ron if he made that one phone call yet that he promised us. He seemed surprised we remembered him promising he would make this phone call and that he probably could get this case resolved on that one phone call and that we expected him to make that call. He said the individual he was going to call was hard to get a hold of. We did not believe he was telling us the truth. Another time opposing counsel sent us a very harassing email on a Thursday filled with lies and threatening sanctions (court fines) against us if we didn't reply by Monday. We called Ron's office, we emailed Ron and forwarded onto him the harassing email. Ron never called us back, never emailed us back. We made it clear this was an emergency and we heard nothing but crickets. We had to reply to the email ourselves and represent ourselves in order to get the email back to this other unprofessional attorney by Monday. It is almost impossible to communicate with Ron. He does not reply to emails or return phone calls. If you want to talk on the phone, you have to schedule a call weeks in advance for almost $400 an hour. But there are times when emergencies or situations arise that you need a relatively quick response. Then when you do get a rare chance to talk to him, it's very difficult to bring up your concerns to him as he gets easily triggered and he has a short temper. Ron even told us he gets easily triggered. We were scared to say anything to him. Ron often engages in manipulative gas-lighting techniques where he creates a false narrative and tries to place the blame for his irresponsible actions onto us and blame us for his bad actions. As one example he would accuse us of not listening when Ron is the one who was not listening to us. The ultimate betrayal was when Ron falsely told the court we agreed to things which we absolutely did NOT agree to. Ron or his office also engage in falsifying their bills. As one specific example we were charged $720 for witnesses being served subpoenas. However only 4 witnesses were subpoenaed at a cost of $18.50 each which would be a total of $74, not $720. When we point this out to both Ron and his office asking them what is going on with the billing, we again receive no response. We also had to do a lot of babysitting. We had to constantly call and email over and over and over to make sure things are getting done. For example, we called multiple times about correctly scheduling something. We were finally told there were about 5 dates to choose from and we would get a call back to get our permission to schedule the time and place. About a week goes by with no one calling us back. So we have to call into the office again. And we are told that the thing was scheduled without ever talking to us. And this thing was scheduled at a time we could NOT make and at a place we clearly did NOT agree to. So we have to spend more time and more money getting it rescheduled and fixed to the correct place. In short, instead of us being properly represented, there were multiple times we were misrepresented by our own counsel. read more

Professional, experienced, fairly priced for the amount of time and quality representation, knowledgeable w/o leading me to not be prepared for the probability of the case's process, time and outcome. And supportive in terms of understanding my position, my limitations and my expectations/needs for the outcome. My life would be completely different w/o Ron and staff in my corner for some of my most complicated, unexpected and distressing situations. Thank you Heritage Law! read more

Heritage Law did fantastic work in my daughter's behalf. Ron Wilkinson's negotiation skills and ability to fight in our behalf were second to none! I had complete confidence in him from day one, and that confidence turned out to be verified in the end. We came to understand that his knowledge of the law and experience are well respected in this legal community and by the court system. I will recommend Heritage and especially Ron to everyone I know. If you need/want an attorney that will fight for you, and your family - he's the man! Thank you so very much Heritage Law. read more

A few years ago I retained the invaluable help of Ron and Nathan when my relationship with the father of my children unraveled. It was a unique situation in that we'd been married earlier, got legally divorced and stayed together in a committed relationship, all without ANYONE'S knowledge. Before I met Ron I felt completely helpless in a hopeless situation. Luckily, I did meet with Ron and he told me everything we had in our side, and what was possible. During the time Ron represented me, I quickly learned that he is the BEST and most knowledgeable attorney in Utah. Absolutely incredible! He knows exactly what's possible and does everything in his power to make it happen. I would definitely recommend Ron and Nathan's services to anyone in Utah looking for the BEST attorneys! read more

Ronald charged my friend over $20,000 in a divorce matter and when it was time for court he was not even aware of the hearing and she lost custody in default. After this he dropped her as a client after not returning her calls for almost a month. The only thing that Ronald was good at was charging her credit card. You are better off representing yourself in court as this guy is an absolute joke! read more
