Please do not hire Eric to represent you. He's extremely dishonest.

Eric has the worst reputation out there. When I went through my divorce I hired Eric. Biggest mistake ever. After dragging out a simple divorce and filing thing after thing to run my ex dry, I still lost. I could have walked away with more representing myself. Eric pissed off the commissioner as well as yelled at my ex's attorney. He's very unprofessional. I basically just wasted money on him that could have been spent on my child. He gives "legal" advice that isn't actually legal. This guy has major emotional/intellectual issues. DO NOT USE ERIC TO REPRESENT YOU!

Eric will deny representing you when he's done a horrible job.

If you want to spend a lot of money for an unreasobable attorney ge is a great one! If you are looking to negotiate fair terms this guy isnt it! He supports untrutgful statements and is degrading. Most apposing attorney's wobt take the case if you are using his firm. Hes been in trouble with the courts on multiple occasions for statements made. Do your research!

I had a great experience with Utah Family Law. Eric Johnson represented me for a portion of my divorce. Eric’s legal vast experience and sincerity helped me to prepare for what to expect during the divorce process. I highly recommend Eric and Utah Family Law.

I know the difference between right and wrong, but do not know the specific laws to pursue justice. I went to different attorney's and they pointed me in the wrong direction, causing me financial and emotional distress. Eric was not like the other attorney's he knew exactly how to pursue the case, along the way he had to deal with a difficult opposing counsel and repeated negotiations. The most amazing part of my experience with Utah Family Law is that if the case was idle, they do not charge.
If I would have pursued this case on my own, it would have taken years off of my life. You took a tremendous burden off of a single mom and her two children.
I wish there was a way to give Eric 6 stars.

It was a blessing to have the representation of Mr. Eric Johnson. The attorney fees are reasonable and representation is amazing! He listened to my concerns and help wade through the mess of two different cases for me. I would definitely recommend him!

I had to chase my daughter from Texas to Utah after a family abduction. Eric Johnson was able to get emergency orders from Texas entered into Utah District court in one day and I was able to get Utah Law Enforcement to assist in the recovery of my 8 year old daughter just a few minutes before she was transported from the state by strangers to an unknown location it GA. She was in grave danger of being lost for a very long time!
Eric charged me a very fair price. He was caring, knowledgeable and extremely effective!!! I wasted several hundred dollars on consultations with several other attorneys before I met Eric. The other attorneys wasted my time and tried to charge me more than 10 TIMES what Eric charged and they did not have half of his knowledge and ability! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We've used Eric's services several times and have nothing but praise for his level of professionalism and clarity. We recommend his services to any of our friends that need an attorney. He doesn't suffer fools-online or in the courtroom.

Yes, I am a real person and a real client of Eric's for the past 5 years. He believes in our case and continues to navigate us through the complex legal system which is family law. We are obviously very satisfied with the results. And it's a huge relief not having to shop around for a new attorney every time the ex decides to "take it legal".

You can tell what kind of attorney Eric is by the way he responds to the negative reviews. Denying he ever represented you. I'm sure I'll get the same denial post. My personal experience with Eric was that he's not respected by fellow attorneys, commissioners, or judges. You know when there's that one guy in the room that thinks he's smarter than everyone else? That is Eric, with a touch of aspergers to go along with it. He has zero class. He talked down to me, as his client as well as my ex and her attorney. I don't think he wins any cases, but Eric will tell you he wins them all. Don't waste your time getting wrapped up in this guys negative energy. You'll regret it.

Preston Young has to be a fake review, it was posted the same day I left mine. How convenient. And if Eric was so good, how come Preston (real person) had to use his services "several times"?

I don't recommend using Eric Johnson as an attorney. I didn't have a good experience.

If you want a bad attorney. Hire this guy! lol.

They do whats right!

If I could leave zero stars I would. Don't waste your time or money with this guy. It's obvious by the reviews on here as to what kind of attorney he is.

I ususally don't write reviews, but I want to share my expreince with Eric so that no one else has to go through what I went through.

I had an interview with Eric to be his Legal Assistant, at the end of the interview he offered me the job. I excitedly accepted the job, and put in my two weeks at my current job. After work hours I got an email from Eric telling me he could no longer offer me the job because his financial circumstances would not allow it.(after he told me I had the job). I understand times are tough but he should have considered his financial status before offering a full time job. I am praying and hoping I am not unemployed becasue of bills I have to pay.

From my exprience with Eric he might be a good guy, however he is unproffesional and unprepared when it came to work related matters. I know from my college exprience those are the two most important things to have in a lawyer.

I called to ask a couple simple questions and he shouted at me 3 or 4 times how long do you need how long do you need he said people say they only need 5 minutes and they yack and yack. If he could give him NO stars I would he was a complete jackass.

This is how you know Eric is a terrible attorney. I won my case. I feel like I won my case in spite of my attorney, not because of him. He dragged it on for over 2 years, was arrogant, belittling, and cost me thousands. Just 2 months after my case was closed, I had to go back to court and represented myself because he had neglected to file an important form. Your better off doing it yourself than hiring this crook. Also, notice how he responds to his bad reviews with accusations of being a legitimate person etc. where other firms respond far more professionally...... there's your sign. That's the treatment you get overall with Eric. Retain someone else.

Though I will not discuss the details of my case, I have nothing but the highest praise for Utah Family Law and every one of the associates that I have worked with in this firm. In particular I worked with Attnys Eric Johnson and Mckail Hamilton. Eric was extraordinarily meticulous and will not back down. However, if you're looking for attorney who are unscrupulous or willing to help you to fight unethical or immoral battles, go elsewhere. Eric, Mckail, and all those who I have been associated with in the firm are not interested in clients who want to unjustly hurt their opponents and will not stomach doing anything that is not in the best interests of children and others in the periphery of such matters. I've worked with many attorneys and I have never worked with ANY attorneys who I would put on a higher pedestal for personal integrity and ethics. Whenever someone hires an attorney, especially in family law, it means they are going through a particularly difficult time in their lives. At such times, emotions run high and clients can make serious errors in judgment. Follow Eric's advice to the "T" and rest easy that the situation will be far less painful and complicated than it would otherwise have been.

My husband and I have been battling with his ex-wife for years over silly little things, as well as pretty major infringements of my husband's rights. We couldn't afford a lawyer, so represented ourselves the best that we could, doing A LOT of research. Once we reached a point where I couldn't figure out what the next step was I contacted Utah Family Law, after reading Eric's Blog. Not only did Eric reach out to us very quickly, but also his colleague, Russ (yes, contrary to some of the reviews there is more than one lawyer in this office). They gave us some fantastic advice to move forward on our own, but also motivated us to find some way to be able to hire them in order to make the process move much more quickly and prevent being taken advantage of by the opposing attorney (who lives up to all the negative stereotypes). When we met with Eric he had a no-nonsense approach and a blunt demeanor, which is very refreshing. He may not be a fancy hoity-toity firm, but he is passionate about what he does. Having seen many other lawyers who seem to go into court unprepared (I saw this with my sister's horrible lawyer, which is part of why we decided to self-defend), and without a full understanding of the situation, it is nice to meet with someone who seems to be very with it and invested in our situation.

I don't feel comfortable explaining the details of my divorce on a public website, but I will say that the treatment I received from this company was awful. What a miserable experience.

I initially contacted Eric in December in regards to my daughter's father's petition to have the child support that he pays decreased. In our initial consultation Eric gave me excellent advice on what my options were, what I could take care of myself and what an attorney could help with. I live out of state and he advised me to have the case moved to my state for my convenience, stating that he could potentially provide recommendations for attorneys in my area. He also told me what documents needed to be filed in the State of Utah, regardless of where the case was filed, and how to file them.

After considering Eric's advice, I decided to retain his associate, Mckail Hamilton and keep the case in Utah. She provided excellent service, work and advice through the process. She drafted and filed the counter petition quickly and efficiently. She was very willing and able to answer all of my questions and provide me with sound advice throughout the process. All of this was done over the phone and email as I still live out of state. McKail is a true professional and she knows her trade. I agree with Mr. West's comments below on the communication, compassion and understanding on a personal level. The firm truly is professional, honest and fair.

In the end, McKail was able to negotiate with my daughter's father's attorney and we were able to come to a mutually acceptable agreement before we ever went into the court room. This was an experience that I dreaded and hoped to never face, and although I still hope to never go through it again, Mckail’s work and communication eased my mind, kept me informed and gave me sound advice on how to proceed. I highly recommend Utah Family Law, LC, Eric Johnson and McKail Hamilton.

Eric represented me in my divorce. Awesome job! Won't get all detailed but Eric fought for me every step of the way. He kept me informed even though I was two states away. I would highly reccommend Utah Family Law and Eric Johnson for your divorce.

When I found myself in a situation where I required family related legal assistance, I asked around and did lots of research. It was very important to me to find legal representation that was fair, honest, and well experienced. This is definitely a time in a person’s life where they feel exposed and vulnerable. I wanted to make sure that whomever I chose to represent me would make me feel at ease with not only their experience but in how they interact on a personal level. I wasn’t looking for someone that was going to be aggressive for the sake of making the other side lose everything, I was looking for someone that would help me to determine what was right and fair for both sides, and then would help to carry that out appropriately and professionally. When researching online, I found the website for Utah Family Law. I was pleasantly surprised with the wealth of information that was available on their website. Many of the questions and answers that were posted on their website were exactly what I was looking to know, prior to making a choice regarding which firm I would place my trust in. I called and talked to one of their associates, McKail Hamilton. I could not have been more pleased with the knowledge that she had, but also the degree of compassion and understanding on a personal level. I made and appointment to go into the office. After meeting McKail and Eric, I was perfectly at ease to hire them to represent me. Although I needed their services for only a short period of time, the interaction I had with Utah Family Law was professional, honest, and fair. I received advice from them covering many different options and angles. They made sure to understand my situation and tailor their services to my exact needs. I always knew where we stood at any moment in time with status, billing, court deadlines, action items, etc.., as the communications were prompt and frequent. I always felt I had compassionate and experienced people working for my best interest, whatever that happened to be. I found everyone in the office to be pleasant, personable, and very reassuring. If I ever needed legal counsel in this area again, (let’s be honest- I hope I don’t), I would not hesitate to hire Utah Family Law. If you are in need of family legal counsel, I highly recommend checking out the website and then making an appointment to discuss your legal needs with them.

Hiring this firm was a tremendous mistake that cost me terribly. Don't be fooled by the marketing machine - this is one little guy in a dirty little office, there is no "we" that they advertise. Gave me advice on everything from child care to family counseling, and got very offended when I didn't take it. He became passive aggressive and sat back and watched my husband walk all over me. Hire someone else. That's all I care to say. What a creep!

I did not have good experience with him. I would recommend against hiring him. A divorce is unpleasant enough by itself. Having Eric as my attorney made it so much worse.
