I live in New York and hired Nick Gottwald to represent my brother in Salt Lake City. My brother's…read moredivorce was anything but straightforward. The financial issues were complicated, the history was lengthy, and there was an overwhelming amount of documentation to work through. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Nick was not interested in taking shortcuts and making assumptions--and I knew I had found the right attorney for our case. He listened. He asked important questions. He wanted to understand not only the facts, but the context behind them. Nick never argued first and figured it out later. He sought understanding first--and that's what made him such an effective advocate. By the time we got to trial, Nick knew the case inside and out. That preparation, coupled with his keen understanding of the law, allowed him to represent my brother with confidence, giving weight and credibility to every argument he made before our judge, and ultimately achieving an outcome that exceeded our expectations. On a personal level, Nick was responsive, calm under pressure, compassionate, and genuinely invested. He treated us with kindness and respect, earning our complete trust. I'm so grateful that I chose Nick Gottwald to represent my brother. Words fall short of expressing my appreciation for his hard work and unwavering commitment from start to finish. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd hire Nick again in a New York minute.

He has a ton of experience so he is able to offer great advice on what strategies will actually work (in court and in mediation). Nick is a great communicator, he's kind, professional, and you can tell he is passionate about the work he does and he wants to help you succeed. He worked well with the opposing counsel - leading and building trust. Ultimately Nick guided this case to a settlement which was the best outcome for everyone. Billing was easy and straightforward. I would highly recommend Nick and his firm. Thank you Nick!

I recommend AGAINST hiring Eric. I trusted him during a time when I was most vulnerable to being…read moretaken advantage of, which ended up being a big mistake. He seemed all right at first, and all I wanted and still want is a fair deal and to be able to be a parent to my children and not be harrased by my ex. He has put me in a bad position in every possible way. I am confident I could not have gotten a worse deal for myself. During the several months that I paid him more than my mortgage payment, he conveniently 'forgot' about certain issues that he should have been working on. When I would ask him about these his response would be "I wasn't sure if you still wanted that". He might as well have been representing the other side. When I told him what I wanted in a settlement, he literally asked, "why should [the opposing party] accept this? that's not what they want" and pressured me to just roll over and not fight for my own rights, instead of finding an argument for my side of the story. Also, you should know that Eric can be very rude and downright mean as mentioned in other reviews. If you disagree with him, he will proceed to speak louder and louder over you until you give up. People who overheard our conversations could not believe the way he spoke to his clients. After he insults you in person or over the phone he will promtly write an email denying talking that way to cover it up and make sure he looks good on paper. Lastly, there were frequent problems with his staff not knowing what was going on, sending me old emails that we had already discussed or calling to ask questions about things that had been resolved weeks prior. Extremely disorganized and lacking professionalism. Google reviews are higher but businesses can now purchase a service that screens bad reviews. I wouldn't trust those ratings.
