Kelly and his team have been very helpful especially as I have a head injury and need things repeated often to understand. They are efficient and courteous in all areas.

Kelly is organized and thorough. He had documents prepped and ready to go when we needed them. Building a case took time and patience but I'm happy with the approach that Kelly takes. My ex wife hired a discount lawyer. It showed.
Kelly is organized, efficient and a great advocate. His staff is awesome as well.

These guys are really kind and understanding, I never felt judged for my situation. The office worked really hard and followed through on each of my cases. They thought of every possibility and had a solution for every crazy thing that was thrown my way. Would absolutely recommend!

I HIGHLY and very strongly recommend Kelly's law firm with anyone who wants to have SUCCESS. I have been divorced for about 15 years. My former husband has been taking me back to court almost every year since the divorce. My former attorneys didn't do their do diligent or have my "back" in working my case. This cost me tens of thousands of dollars in paying for all of their MANY mistakes in NOT protecting my parental rights.
If Kelly Peterson would have been my attorney from the start, I would have saved my family much trauma, money and etc. Since, I changed my attorney to the Law Office of Kelly Peterson, I am impressed with the quality, integrity and loyalty of their service. I have been to court many times and have "never" had an attorney fight for my rights like Kelly Peterson, his brother Ryan and staff have done!! They are simply AMAZING at what they do!! They do it right the first time, which saves time, heartache and money. I strongly recommend them!

Kelly and his staff helped us with a relocation case. Our son was successful in keeping his X from moving children out of state. Kelly and his staff, particulary Maria and Ryan helped us fight successfully in court. We would recommend Kelly Peterson’s firm.

I am impressed by Kelly and his interview. I was refered to him by a friend for my divorce. After the interview I felt I had a well-organized plan to peruse my divorce. I recommend Kelly Peterson to anyone who is contemplating a divorce.

Kelly Peterson is by far the worst attorney we have dealt with. We have been dealing with a very complicated custody battle with my husband's ex wife and hired Kelly when our family attorney was unavailable for the dates of the hearing. Kelly took a $1500 evergreen retainer over the phone with the stated understanding that we would need to replenish the $1500 at the end of each month or his services would cease and desist. After 1 week and the first hearing, when he came unprepared and unfamiliar with the emails we sent containing the information he requested, we knew we had to part ways with him as soon as possible. Also, he went into a negotiation with the GAL attempting to offer terms or a deal on my husband's behalf which we had no knowledge of until afterwards. He seemed visibly frustrated and suggested that my husband should just avoid going to the following hearing. Now his automated system is trying to double bill me for services we're already paid for in advance. If anyone else is having a similar problem, we'd love to hear about it, maybe we can compare notes. :)
I'd give him negative stars if I could, to counter all the other 5 star posts written by " real " clients of his. If you can imagine the kind of person it takes to conjure up all the fake positive reviews you'll have a vague idea of Kelly P.

First Kelly sat down and looked at my entire file with me. (My previous attorney never read it). He had me do stuff for myself. He provided a sample chronology which was helpful. He’s very organized. Now the other side is he has no compassion and even said 165 miles won’t stop my ex from killing me. He does what he wants even when you are the client and it’s your child & life affected. He talks to you like you are being cross examined. He didn’t present evidence that showed 100 broken court orders that the other side did. Even taking my child out of state during my parent time twice. He said other clients tell him that he doesn’t understand. The other side made an offer 2 days before court. Kelly never explained how it worked and even added stuff that benefited the other side. He screwed me a lot by not presenting huge things like me going years without seeing my daughter. My ex got away with financial and emotional abuse because Kelly hid it for him. He also got a ton of parent time. A lot of time I felt like he wasn’t on my side. Maybe he is pro man. He also didn’t pay the GAL which the court ordered the attorneys to pay. The court said I couldn’t have any direct contact with the GAL. He paid multiple times then the last one assumed I would pay. I was actually in contempt because he didn’t pay. Then I kept saying I never even saw a bill. Come to find out after me arguing with them they never sent it to me. He also has you sign a form in the beginning so he can drop you. I said I couldn’t afford anymore after 10s of thousands $$. He literally submitted it to the court immediately. He also requires your credit card number so it’s not like he wasn’t covered.
Now he had me sign that the custody evaluator report was part of the deal. My ex was supposed to pay this now I have to pay possibly thousands to get this report. It’s been 6 months and am finding more that Kelly didn’t protect my best interests. I continue to find out major issues that he should have done to defend me!
7-10-18 I just found out more negligence. My ex had taken my child out of state twice when it was my parent time. Kelly did nothing even after me constantly mentioning it. He buried it. There is a federal law against this called Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act! Also Kelly charged me full price for travel which is obscene and not the standard. So the idea he saved me money was absolutely a ridiculous.

I saw and spoke to several different lawyers prior to my consultation with Kelly. Each one made my case seem extremely complicated, difficult and frustrated me. Sitting down with Kelly lifted a weight off of my shoulders. I had a unique case. Mr. Peterson read through my information and discussed what action would be needed. It became quite evident that he had the experience I needed that the other lawyers I had spoken with lacked. Prompt action was taken in every step of the way. I got the results I was looking for.

I wouldn't even give this man one star! He has his assistant Ryan do all the work and doesn't even go over it. His assistants wrote up a protective order in concern with my granddaughter safety. It was written up incorrectly and the court employee caught it thank goodness! We paid over two thousand dollars for a lot of work and stress on our part and got nothing but a mess from this law firm! Thank God I was there for my daughter they would of taken advantage of her no doubt about it!! She was your client! But she found an awesome attorney to protect her and my granddaughter. Opposing wow!! Good one!!

Kelly was truly AMAZING in my divorce/custody case. It was a lengthy and complicated process. Kelly was extremely thorough and detail oriented. He was great on keeping me on task and focused. He made sure we did not waste time on things that were not pertinent to the case. I appreciated how he streamlined the process for me. Also, the office staff and paralegals were great in always communicating with me promptly when motions were filed or approved by the court. I could not have been more pleased with KMP Law! I am more than grateful for their services.

I have known Kelly for several years and have many associations with him as a fellow family law attorney. I have always appreciated his professionalism and thoroughness. Kelly is a knowledgeable and respected attorney, whom I would happily endorse.

Kelly and his team handled my parental alienation case. They helped me through, hands down, the darkest and most difficult chapter in my life. You will read that alienation cases are difficult to prove. Kelly really has a proven methodology that brings to the surface the data points you will need to demonstrate to the court that the alienating behavior is taking place. Anyone going through this experience should become as educated as possible on the topic of parental alienation so you have a grasp on what is in front of you. I won't say it was easy, but I will say that it was well worth it. In the end, we were able to get the outcome we were looking for. I couldn't have done it without Kelly and his team.

Kelly Peterson and his staff were able to accomplish more toward my case than my previous attorney had.

During my initial intake I was put at ease by his level of experience and passion - I knew that I had found someone who was willing to fight for me.

I have read the reviews posted and wish I had had this particular attorney everyone is speaking highly of. My experience with Kelly Peterson is one that has made it so that I will never recommended him, nor have I. As a GAL, he was completely lacking. Fascinating that Kelly Peterson says I have never been a client, met in his office multiple times, sat next to him in court as he sat at my attorney's table. Trust me, this attorney is not one I would recommend. Regina.

I understand I am the enemy, but trying to work with this office is a frustrating experience. Being told we are not going to help you as we are not your lawyer is a bit much when asking for dates for mediation that they said they would set or when I should expect court ordered documents to be sent...

Reached an agreement with my Ex and ORS won't honor it because it was not made into a court order as there office stated "We didn't know ORS was involved"

However they are now working on it..

Kelly is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He’s extremely bright and thinks quick on his feet. He is always prepared and very thorough in his facts. I worked with kelly for almost a year, during a litigation process. His method of being thorough and prepared paid off. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

I was dealing with a custody battle and I appreciated Kelly and his secretary so much! They made me feel informed and walked me through the process of what court would be like and what I would need to bring and tips for bring about the most success. It was great working with someone who knew what they were doing and who knew how to simplify it enough so i felt informed as well!

Kelly is personable and knows his job very well. I truly felt he had my best intentions in mind and was determined not to let me be walked all over by my ex. He is sure to cover all his bases and get you what you deserve. His associates are very friendly also.

Working with Kelly was great. He was able to see the real problem and was able to put into place a real solution for the best interest of my children. I was nervous about using a Guardian Ad Litem at first because of some horror stories I heard about Guardian ad litem's siding with one or the other party out of bribery or they connected with the person better. I didn't want to lose my kids because of someone else's charm or money. It truly was the best decision in my custody battle. I don't think I would be in the situation I am in without the help of Kelly. Our custody battle initially was a he said/she said battle, which isn't an easy to battle to fight, but bringing in a third party that had the kids best interest was really what helped my kids overall. They may not be happy about everything. They even told Kelly that they were not happy with some of his decisions and that they wanted another attorney, but in the end, they are happier and in a healthier place.

Kelly helped me gain temporary custody of my daughters. We were extremely prepared going into court. Our case was tight and clearly spelled out with a lot of hard evidence. Kelly guided me on much of the process so I didn't have to pay him a ton of money for all of the legwork. I had a ton of evidence going in and we had to whittle it down to 25 page per the court rules. However, Kelly creatively found a way to get more of my defense/evidence in front of the judge if we go to trial. I consulted a couple of child therapists, counselors, and psychologists before pursuing my case. Everyone of them that new Kelly spoke highly of him.

I have been working with Kelly for almost two years now on a few different cases. He's been able to get things done for me that several other attorneys have failed to do. He is thorough and follows through. He explains things very well and is direct which is what you need in an attorney, especially in Custody and Protective Order cases. His staff is amazing! Especially his Legal Assistant! She's my Rock! I would and have recommended him to anyone.

His ad is right on- NEARLY free consultation for an nearly competent attorney.
Kelly Peterson jumped to conclusions, made false accusations, and did not even review my case before heading into the court room. It was a complete disaster. He wrote off documents, that later on, proved to be very important. He then told me that I should be like him and how he handled his divorce.
He told me that when my ex was being physically aggressive towards me, he just didn't know how to communicate and I shouldn't read into it so much and call it domestic abuse- even though that is what the police had called it in my reports.
I could not get this guy off my case fast enough.
Waste of time and money! He is completely conceded and arrogant. He also admitted he was very pro-dad in his legal work - which would have been nice to know BEFORE hand.

Kelly is an expert on Utah family law and systematically keeps abreast of changes that could affect his clients' cases. I have had the pleasure of working with him and love his practical intelligence in all family law matters. In addition to being knowledgeable and smart, he has extensive experience in divorce, custody, modification of orders, grandparents' rights, and all areas of family law. I have found him to be very pleasant and easy to work with. He really cares about his clients. Most importantly, he is always well prepared and willing to fight to get his clients the very best outcome possible. I highly recommend him for all family law matters in Utah!
