Nick Gottwald was extremely patient and understanding with my nightmare of a case and spent time and effort into preparing and submitting legal paperwork for me. Nick listened to my concerns and gave me realistic options. Nick let me know what legal rights I had. Nick also provided support throughout and after my case was closed. Nick Gottwald followed through with what he said he could do for me. Nick is a great lawyer and I highly recommend him! Thanks, Nick!

Nick Gottwald is an excellent attorney. He was quick and efficient to communicate with and he navigated me through my divorce process after having to fire a previous lawyer!

I came here with a referral, and with no doubt I am very happy to have decided to take Nick Gottwald as my attorney for my divorce. He made sure that all of my interest were taken care of, he was very honest with every single question I had. When we had our temporary order hearing we walked out with everything I have requested and with divorce decree! I am so glad I had him as my lawyer and will continue to consider him as my attorney in the future!! Thank you, Nick!

Elenia M. Cozean took a very stressful situation and made it as simple as possible. I went into the office and she was very friendly and personable. She got my situation fixed in days that I had been working on for months. I would HIGHLY recommend her and I would hate to up against her.

I am extremely pleased with the service, legal counsel, and professionalism of Nelson, Taylor & Associates. Mr. Taylor worked with me throughout an almost 4 year divorce. He was great to work with and worked out a financing option that I could handle. Mr. Taylor presented my side extremely well and the judge favored his professionalism, documentation, and arguments over opposing counsel. The judge ruled in my favor on all issues; although I wasn't asking for anything ridiculous. I would highly recommend their legal services.

Wade Taylor is the best attorney I have ever had the privilege to hire. He has helped me on two separate and unrelated cases and both cases he was on top of everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and genuine. He will not BS you and will tell you exactly what he thinks will happen and plans for things that may not happen. He never over charged me and even tried to help lower costs if he was able to. As a single mother, he was truly understanding and did everything he could to help me. I will never have another attorney but Wade Taylor.

We used attorney Nicholas Gottwald for our
Adoption and we could not have picked a better attorney for our case! Our case with Nick Gottwald lasted less than a year, his professionalism and commitment to us as clients made all the difference. He kept us informed throughout our case and was always available and willing to answer any/all of our questions and concerns. We would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney!

I have been working with Wade Taylor on some estate planning and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is brilliant!! He knows all the ends and outs and is quick and efficient. He explains things in an understandable way and I feel so confident with his counsel.

Top notch law firm! Mark Nelson has been absolutely wonderful to work with. We appreciate his integrity and aggressive style to get results! Thank you Mark!

I have had the pleasure of Nick's representation for 2 different court cases. Both cases required different scenario's, Nick was sharp and very knowledgeable in all aspects of family law, and always wanted what's best not only for his client but the children involved. I was never disappointed by fee's because, honestly he was extremely fair and never took advantage of your pocket book like other attorney's I've seen. Nick showed up on time, and ready to go.. Phone calls and email have always been answered on time regardless of his time crunch. And, if he ever needed to he could be aggressive because the other party was taking advantage he would do so without an argument. I will always recommend Nick Gottwald to all of my friends and family because, I never once felt disappointed.

Always goes out of his way to do what it right for his client. Nick was never late, always responded fast and is great at what he does. He is my first recommendation to anyone looking for help with divorce, custody, child support, etc.

I cannot recommend Nicholas Gottwald as a divorce attorney highly enough. I am sure, the majority of divorced individuals will recall their experiences as horrible or especially difficult, mine not being excluded. That cannot be helped most the time, but I do feel as though Nick made it manageable. Nick was the second attorney I had a consultation with and his professionalism and knowledge on divorce impressed me and stuck with me. I didn’t end up hiring him until a few months after the consultation and he still remembered me and parts of my case. I hired Nick, not only because I felt he was knowledgeable but he is also personable. Going through a divorce is hard and emotional and you will want someone who is understanding and sensitive to that. Nick was incredibly understanding and supportive. I felt like I had more than just an attorney but I had someone who was willing to fight for my daughter and I and it wasn’t just his “job”. It felt like he was invested in my case and that seems like just the kind of person he is. He also helped me understand what was reasonable and in turn what was unrealistic. Nick was honest and forthcoming with his thoughts and his advice and I will be forever grateful for him and his help.

On the positive side of things, Wade Taylor was able to get me everything I asked for in my divorce.
On the negative side of things, I felt ignored more often than not and he was extremely difficult to get a hold of both by telephone and by email.

I'm currently working with Wade Taylor on a custody case. I can say that he is a honest, straightforward, funny, charming and highly experienced Attorney. In 4 months he has been able to accomplish more for me than my previous lawyer of 14 months. I am very happy with the way Wade is handling my case, especially because he asks what you want and doesn't try to dissuade you. Instead he informs and educates you on the pros and cons of each option. He's very professional and can still manage to make you laugh. He is truly a hidden gem. I am confident that there is no one who is better fit to handle my case. I am extremely happy with everything that has happened since I first hired him. If you want someone who will listen to you and hear you vent and can still be the bulldog that subtly destroys his opponents this is your guy ! Thanks Wade

Wade Taylor has helped our family through a few legal issues and has been great. He's honest about the process and gives you the pros and cons of the choices you can make. His rates are more than reasonable. I would definitely recommend him.

I’m working with Mark Nelson. I’ve contacted their office several times to get ahold of him regarding my child’s adoption. He is really hard to get on the phone. He misses appointments, he doesn’t do what we discuss, he is just all out difficult. The guy is nice obviously but his time management and communication need a lot of help.

I had Elenia M. Cozean as my lawyer and I couldn't have been more pleased with her! She was kind and informative, always answering my questions and concerns as quickly as possible. She made sure I was always in the loop and kept up to date with the whole process. She made it a better process than it coud have been, divorce is never easy and never fun, but she made it smooth. She was very concerned with my daughter's well being and wanted to make sure she was the number one concern, which was important to me! Thank you Elainia for everything!

Nick Gottwald is great. If you ever need help/consultation with divorce or family matter, Nick is the one. Very professional and knows exactly what he is doing. My case was not easy but he knew how to handle it. Honestly worth every penny and every minute spend. We won! Thank you Nick!!!

(Translated by Google) Mr nick gottwald helped me with the divorce case, he is a very professional lawyer! My case is very smooth! thank you very much!

Mr nick gottwald 帮我处理了离婚案件 ，他是一个非常专业的律师！我的案件非常顺利！非常感谢！

This review is for Nick Gottwald. When I first came in for a consultation, I felt by what he said that he was honest, determined to work hard, and finish the divorce as quickly as possible. He was not out to drag it on, to his benefit, and was very affordable. He always responded to my questions and helped me understand the process.He showed me 2 ways that it could go and was willing to be flexible according to my wishes! When he suggested mediation with both lawyers and Lisa Jones as mediator , I agreed. We came to an agreement quickly. Nick Gottwald and Lisa Jones work well together. I felt Nick really cared about my situation and I will recommend him to anyone I know who needs a family and divorce lawyer. Debbie Budzenski

I can’t begin to explain how impressed I was with Nick. After a horrible experience with another lawyer to get my divorce finalized (which also happened to be my first experience with a lawyer) I was hesitant to try another lawyer when a best friend suggested Nick. But HALLELUJAH that I did! He made the process seamless, kept me informed the whole process and got the deal done in a super quick amount of time. I only wish I had gone to him first! I will be using him if I ever need legal counsel again and have no reservations in suggesting his services to anyone who needs the most amazing lawyer around. This guy is a rockstar!!!

Nick saved me. My life was a complete wreck and I had no idea what to do or how I would afford anything and he was so kind and affirming. He made my case go so incredibly smoothly and was not too expensive at ALL. He did my divorce for a flat fee, which was totally doable, and kept me informed the whole time. He was professional and insightful in all of the documents he looked at and drafted to make sure I was completely taken care of as his client. I would 100% recommend Nick for anything. And I will continue to use him if any other situation come up that require a lawyer.

After fighting a custody case on and off for 3 year's Wade Taylor was not my first attorney, he was my third. I had the chance to watch lots of attorney's in action but truly felt Wade was the best money could buy. But that's the astounding part, after receiving his last bill I did the math and determined he had actually cost me less then any other attorney!?!? I currently enjoy being the custodial parent and seeing my boy's most of the time, which is not a easy thing for a dad to pull off in Utah... Thanks Wade.

I worked with Elenia M Cozean and she was amazing. Got things done quickly and efficiently.

Mark Nelson was my attorney and he came highly recommended. After spending $4000 on attorney's fees, I ultimately didn't get what I wanted out of my situation, at all, and I feel that I was very under represented. I had gotten out of a very psychologically and emotionally abusive marriage and I wanted an annulment based on my ex-husband's misrepresentation of himself. I settled for a divorce (which is what the ex wanted so he didn't look bad) so I wouldn't have to pay another $6000-8000 to go to court and so I could recoup some of the money that I Iost within a few months of being married to my ex. In addition, in mediation, a settlement was made with the ex for him to pay me back $15,000, which is one-third of what I lost due to him being a con artist and fraud. Mark didn't add anything into the judgment such as an interest penalty, etc., as repercussions if the judgment wasn't being paid back. As a single mom, that is a significant amount of money.

I already have to spend more money and time to domesticate the judgment in Texas. It would have been nice to have had an attorney who truly looked out for my best interests and applied all parts of the law that would help his own client!

Elenia M. Cozean helped me with a custody order. Not only did it go very smoothly she was kind and personable and I enjoyed working with her. For what is generally unpleasant and painful in my past experiences this time was a very positive experience and required very little effort on my part. Very grateful!

I am completely satisfied with Nelson, Taylor & Associates, especially Elenia M. Cozean. From the first time that I met with her, she had perfect advice and laid out a plan that worked out for me in the best way. She is responsive, organized and manages her time well. The cost was reasonable! I would highly recommend Nelson, Taylor & Associates, especially Elenia M. Cozean to be your legal counsel.

Nicholas Gottwald and firm are great to work with. He made a complex process easy for me to understand and was very responsive to my needs. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Wade Taylor was completely honest about what my rights were from the very beginning and explained the entire process step by step. The other attorney for the other half, dragged her feet with EVERYTHING and played games the entire time. Mr. Taylor fully supported me walking out of mediation after HOURS of being there and finding out the other attorney was completely unprepared. The other attorney tried to blame Mr. Taylor for her not being prepared, but Mr. Taylor was able to prove he sent her the information MONTHS before mediation. Mr. Taylor also had another extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney, Elenia Cozean at mediation with us. It was so reassuring to know just how supported I was not only by Mr. Wade, but also by the other attorneys in his office. I have already recommended Mr. Wade to several people in search of a great attorney and I will continue to do so!

Mark will NOT return your phone calls.

Nick from Nelson, Taylor & Associates worked with me for almost three years on a change in custody and did phenomenally well!

He kept me well informed throughout the whole process, and was very good at breaking down the legal jargon into plain English so I could fully understand all of the documents and hearings that we had to go through.

In the end we had what I believe was an extremely fair and favorable outcome and I would hire Nick again if I had to go back and start from the beginning.

Fantastic law firm that provides excellent guidance and advice. We've had a number of contentious issues regarding child custody and divorce, and Nick Gottwald's expertise got us through the process with positive outcomes. Call him today!

I got to say my personal experience with this company in the attorney Elena has been completely phenomenal she is a extremely hard worker very motivated and it's a shark in the courtroom and more importantly than that she does not just take your money she generally cares about making things right I would recommend her to anybody that is going through a divorce hopefully I will never be going through one myself again LOL but if I did she would be the first person I call if there was a 10 star on this I would put 10 Stars how often you come across a tourney that is 100% on your side and does not BS strongly recommend this company

I came to Nick as my sister referred me to him and I couldn’t be more happy with the results he definitely knows his stuff and puts in the extra work to get things done, I was 7 months pregnant when I came to him for his Leagal help and he made the entire process so smooth and stress free, it was nice knowing my lawyer had my back especially being pregnant knowing that I wouldn’t have to worry. I will continue to use him in the future if needed.

Elenia Cozean and Wade Taylor - (Buyer Beware)
I typically would not post a review such as this, but the thought of another person going through the same experience is justification. Nelson, Taylor & Associates are not forthcoming and have shady practices that throw caution to the wind and put the client at great risk. First, I specifically hired Elenia Cozean to fight my child custody case. She claimed she was independent and not part of a firm, which was important cost factor to me at the time. Later, my first bill arrived from Nelson, Taylor & Associates, not Elenia Cozean. This was my first “that’s weird’ moment, and upon my first visit to her practice it was clear she worked at this firm. Nonetheless, I moved forward. I hired Elenia to represent me on an already winning case. I’d already won twice on this issue, and she was simply defending me on the plaintiffs 3rd appeal. Come the day of court, she shows up with another lawyer, Wade Taylor, and let’s Wade make all the arguments. I never hired Wade Taylor. Why is is arguing my case? The plaintiff won the appeal and now I have to start over. With an evidentiary hearing deadline 3 days away, I get a letter from Elenia requesting dismissal from my case stating “miscommunication issues with the client”. She also went on to claim that due to an unpaid balance, she is asking for dismissal. Unpaid balance? This is the first time I was made aware of an unpaid balance issue that is affecting their ability to represent me. Why? There was no issue. I’ve always paid my legal fees. I’ve replenished the retainer twice already. On March 1st my balance was zero, so they claim by April 1st my balance was so far past due that they wanted a dismissal?
This was simply a technicality she and Wade hoped to use to get legally dismissed from the case.
The most troubling of all, this is a child custody case. To be treated so brazen and with callousness on such a sensitive issue, I can only imagine how the less serious issues might be treated.

I have had legal needs spanning several years during a divorce and custody evaluation. Having worked with a few different firms in both Utah and Salt Lake County, I can say that Nelson, Taylor & Associates have been the most reasonable, empathetic, and responsive.

Any family law issue has the potential for high anxiety, emotional reactions, and long-term impact on one's financial and family situation. I have been guided by Wade Taylor through the worst of these and will always appreciate his time, patience, and skills on behalf of me and my family.

If I'm being honest, some of the finest people I've ever met are attorneys, and the most vile creatures I've ever known are also attorneys. Fortunately, Wade Taylor falls in the first category. My retainer fee wasn't large, and it covered fixing my baby daughter's botched adoption filing, and helping me with the legal issues on two different work contracts. I've dealt with attorneys before who had the gall to charge me $150 an hour to talk about their weekend plans and their girlfriend troubles! Wade's extremely kind, very professional, and given his line of work- still very compassionate and kind in sad and emotional situations. I couldn't recommend any professional I know more highly.

Mark came highly recommended from 2 different people and has given me great advice and has tons of experience to help me make informed decisions during this process. At one point he corrected my ex's attorney on visitation law. He knows the law very well and I highly recommend him.

Mark is respectful, honest, and affordable.

If you need an attorney, your search is over!! Hire this office!!

Wade Taylor did a custody agreement for me. He was such a nice guy to work with and addressed all of my concerns. The custody agreement went smoothly I am so happy that I did it! It has made things between my sons dad and I so much easier especially for the holidays.

Consulting an attorney for my divorce was something that I didn't expect to need but it ended up making all the difference. Wade Taylor used his knowledge of the legal system to help me navigate each hurdle my now-ex-wife placed in the way. Mine was not a straight forward case but Wade was there to ensure that nothing was overlooked. Wade focuses on protecting his clients and working towards resolution even in situations where that may not seem possible. If you think for a moment that asking an attorney for help with your divorce may be beneficial, call Wade Taylor and get that help.

Wade Taylor is such a brilliant Divorce attorney! I was referred to Wade by a friend after my Divorce was finalized because so many things did not seem right. He went through everything and told me exactly what should of happened. He made total and complete sense, and I received more substantial information in my 30 minute consult from Wade, then in my year and a half working with my Divorce Attorney! I wish I would have know about him in the first place. My divorce would have ended so much better!! Wade also helped me tie up some loose ends with my divorce. I will go to him for anything else I might need help with.

Nick was fantastic, my only regret was that I didn't contact him sooner. He is extremely efficient, very thorough and made the whole divorce legal process as painless as it could be. His retainer/fees were also very reasonable (I shopped around). Could not have asked for better representation.

Wade helped my sister during a very traumatic and difficult process. He was helpful, professional and knowledgeable.

Lazy, unwilling to communicate, just found out the case is still ongoing and not a single word from my pretend attorney. Dont waste your time or money! Now i need a malpractice attorney! Go figure

My experience when hiring Wade Taylor as my attorney was amazing. He really helped me out in a major time in my life and made sure that I got what I asked for. He is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is talking about and knows how to do his job. He is a very fun attorney to deal with unlike most and it was never hard to get a hold of him when I needed to talk to him or had some questions or anything in that matter. I would recommend Wade Taylor to anyone that is needing an attorney! He is great!

I used Wade Taylor for my divorce and he was excellent. Wade was very helpful in getting me what I needed and wanted in my divorce. Always prompt at getting back to me whether it was in person, by phone, or via email. I would definitely recommend Wade Taylor if you are looking for a divorce/family law attorney.
