Unfortunately, I needed to retain Grant’s assistance with an all too common “fake” protective order. Little did Grant know that when he accepted the challenge of representing me in this matter, the opposing counsel would pull out every slimey, dirtbag trick in-the-book. Most attorneys would have allowed me to get run over. It’s my experience that most attorneys are lazy and if they have to perform any critical thinking, they roll over and let their client get hosed. Not Grant! Grant hung in there and went toe to toe with this dishonest and witchy attorney. He made sure that the court held her accountable! In fact, she had to pay him for all of his extra work!!! Grant is a competent attorney, and a hell of a nice guy. I will recommend him to anyone that seeks an honest attorney that doesn’t mind actually performing the work that he is paid to do!!!! Imagine that!!!! Thank you, sir!

I believe Marylin has a good reputatiin for a reason but she recommended I stay with an associate of hers and promised ge was just as capable as she was. It was tge biggest mistake I made. My attirney seemed almost intimidated by the othe rattorney, would insist we fight for a bare minimum of something, talk to tge other attorney and come back with a hole different story and convincing me to accept less than the state minimums/statutes. I still have people shocked about how screwed I got and how many things were not put in that seem standard in other decrees.
Ps. I am reviewing from someone elses phone so the name is innacurate. I was a client in 2016

I switched to Moody Brown Law from another law firm. MBL completed my case in 6 month, amazing! They are very responsive and their fees are reasonable and transparent. I am very satisfied. Thanks Tim and the whole team so much for helping me through the worst time of my life.

Zac Star was one of the worst lawyers to ever represent me. 6 months later and I’m still shaking my head. I guess lawyers can be sold out at any cost. So disappointed!

Marilyn Moody Brown was more than I could have hoped for in a lawyer. She was extremely helpful in all aspects of my divorce process and gave me hope and confidence during the scariest time of my life. She was professional yet personable, courageous yet kind, and ultra tenacious in my defense I needed her and am really grateful she was recommended to me and that I was able to retain her as my lawyer.

Grant has been amazing

Marilyn was just what I needed during a dark time in my life. She was caring and made sure I was taken care of. I would highly recommend her!

I've got Grant as my lawyer. He's done an amazing job with my case. I couldn't asked for someone more on top of things! Thanks Grant!!!

Marilyn Moody Brown represented me in a custody case. She was extremely professional and always made herself available to me quickly when I had questions or needed to talk to her. In the end, the outcome of my case was WAY better than I could have hoped for and I felt like she was worth every penny I paid her!

We have used Grant Dickinson for several types of legal issues over previous years and can't say enough about his professionalism, his legal prowess, or most importantly, his comfortable demeanor. With his work in accomplishing full custody of my son for me, Grant accomplished legal precedents never before seen in that area and also completed the work in a time period quicker than any other case in that area's history. Throughout my experiences with him, Grant, (as other reviews here confirm) has an intuitive and friendly manner that alleviates stress while providing a feeling of security for the client, displays his confidence when working with all parties (including opposing entities), and elevates him above what is typically seen in the legal field. In every setting, Grant was the most prepared and knowledgeable legal representative in the room.
The supporting staff at Moody Brown is just as prominent in their dedication to excellent service and I became familiar with them by name. They acted promptly and pleasantly to every single inquiry I had, far exceeding expectations.
Quite simply, Grant is a good man, one who I will always rely on to protect my family and legal needs.

If you want a lawyer that doesn't care at all about you, your kids, your future, and only want your money, this is the firm for you!

Tim Brown and associates went above and beyond for me.

Ask for zack Star. He was amazing he ate my ex husbands lawyer for breakfast. Very productive and professional. Definitely will be having them handle any future cases.

We could not be happier with the level of support and service provided by Grant Dickinson at Moody Brown Law and would highly recommend him to others! He walked us through the process, delivered on everything he said he would, and didn't have any "hidden charges".

Very helpful staff.

Originally, Marilyn represented me during my divorce, and then Grant Dickinson represented me in a custody manner. Marilyn is someone you absolutely want on your side. She is sharp, professional, thorough, and does not mess around.
When I later worked with Grant, it was over quite a long period of time. During that time I watched him depose a witness, argue in court, and I read many, many documents written by him. I was consistently impressed and never had any concern that he would let me down. His knowledge of the court system and what would be best for my case was something I could always count on. I would say I was most impressed by his ability to keep track of the truth and to always be aware of any inconsistencies in my custody case. Grant does not forget details and this was something that always worked in our advantage, because he is able to think on his feet and strategize in an instant. I am truly grateful for his expert representation and the peace of mind I now have in my life because of it.

If you want the best of the best, Marilyn is who to turn to. I trust her more than 100%, that she will give you the best services out there. She is brilliant, and can think outside the box. Everyone knows her and respects her, whether she has worked for or against them! You won’t find a better divorce lawyer out there, and I’m certain of that!

Marilyn is amazing. My divorce was over 15 years ago and even now I’m protected by the way she handled my divorce and how she put together my divorce decree. What a blessing. She quite literally saved my life. Thanks Marilyn for the lasting impact your hard work and persistence has even today. I can’t thank you enough.

This is the second case Moody Brown Law Firm has handled for my family. They have been very helpful will all my questions and guided me in the right direction to settle my situation. Would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal help. The attorney that helped me was Benjamin Brown.

Marilyn is an absolute lifesaver during a time of crisis. When I was referred to her, somebody told me that Marilyn had "destroyed her" in the courtroom; despite losing to her, she was referring me to Marilyn because she had a tremendous amount of respect for her. I had the exact same experience (but from the other side of things, luckily.) Marilyn took my case to heart and fought for me as though she was personally invested in the outcome. Her preparation and thoroughness prevented a very long, drawn-out ordeal.

There were times when I felt anxious because I didn't know what was happening on my case, but whenever I asked for an update, I felt reassured that my case was being handled even better than I had hoped. I felt the billing was fair and that I was treated with respect throughout the entire process.

had to fire her. waste of money in my opinion. did not respond to phone calls or emails. Also, my reviews keep getting deleted so that she can keep a good reputation.

I am not a client of Marilyn, but rather the son (and victim) of one of her clients. From what I can understand, Marilyn is a very good person with very good intentions. Unfortunately, she has been deceived by my abusive father (her client) in my parents' divorce case. This is not her fault. My father is extremely persuasive, deceptive, and manipulative, and many
others have also fallen prey to his lies. Unfortunately, as a result of this, I landed in a custody arrangement where I had absolutely no say in the matter, despite being 17 years old. I am so tired of my dad's abuse of both me and my mom. I have felt suicidal on multiple occasions. I only wish for Marilyn to understand the pains that I feel. I have great respect for her as a person.

I worked with Marilyn during my divorce process and was extremely impressed and grateful for her. I was nervous about working with an attorney, but from the moment I met her, I felt immense relief and confidence that I would be alright. Her expertise, experience, and commitment to her clients make her an essential element in surviving a divorce.
Several months after the divorce finalized, Ben Brown and Tim Brown, both helped me enforce and clarify the decrees from the divorce. I appreciated Tim's concise clear advise and his willingness to let me guide the tone of my responses. I am confident that the firm's protection and support made all the difference in the assets being spit fairly, so that I could move forward with my life. I recommend them to everyone.

Moody Brown Law has been great to work with. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Lawyers are knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Staff is always friendly and follows up to get things done on time. They are very understanding and have been a great choice for me to work with.

Best family law in Utah. I've met several of the attorneys here and they listen and care. Grant Dickinson in particular is very sharp. Super recommend!

The Very best and Professional Advacate attorney service you possibly can find. They are very thorough and they make sure they get the whole story presented.

First off, I was not expecting to meet a woman so stunning and classy and powerful. Marilyn is completely on the ball in every way. She is tremendously detailed in all her dealings. Her communication is spot on. I especially love that she is pure and simple to work with. She was hands down the better lawyer. No doubt about it. I highly recommend this remarkable woman.
I heard a couple say she’s all about money... I watched for that and did not ever feel taken advantage of in any way. She was worth every penny. Marilyn was upfront and clear in where my money was going. No tricks or surprises, just simply amazing. I hope to never need help like this again but if ever I do... she is THE ONE!

It could be a better experience.

Not good at all. maybe ok for simple cases, but cannot handle any complex type cases. avoid at all costs unless your case is super simple. weak, and highly social with other attorneys, plays for the other side often, lazy, not sophisticated.

Moody Brown did a fantastic job for me, and have continued to do so. I have been extremely happy with them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I really enjoyed my experience. Grant Dickinson really fought for me. I ended up getting my kids back in my life after 10 years. thank you Grant

I was so impressed with Moody Brown law. Marilyn is the BEST! She was awesome in mediation. She is very professional, has your back, and genuinely cares about her clients. The whole team there is great. The secretaries do their best to answer any questions you have. You definitely have the best law firm with Moody Brown Law.

Marilyn and her staff are incredible. They are quick to answer any questions and easy to get a hold of. Marilyn is brilliant in mediation and really had my back. She is worth every penny!

I never thought I would be in a position to need a lawyer but am very grateful I was led to Marilyn , she and her staff have been very good to work with.

Going through a divorce is hard enough, but Marilyn really took a load off my mind. She stood up for me when I felt the lowest. It has been five years since my divorce, and I still recommend her to people.

Marilyn has been my guardian angel. She has taken care of me for over three years now. She is worth every penny.

Marilyn Moody Brown handled my case and was a great ally throughout the whole situation. She made sure that I was able to understand all of the legal terms and that I was comfortable with the legal agreements. All the other staff members are great! Love Moody Brown Law!!!!

Great divorce lawyers especially for the men.

MARILYN MOODY BROWN. I have never been treated with such disrespect from someone that is supposed to be my ALLY. I am not one to leave bad reviews and not one for contention but I believe this is the exception. I am no lawyer, clearly I don't have a lot of understanding for legal jargon and needed guidance and explanation along the way. I was never rude in emails, I just needed understanding, seeing as though this is my first time(hopefully only time) getting a divorce. She clearly is too busy and did not have time for me. She needs a cut off for her clients and should not have taken me on. Her stress from her work load was obviously apparent in her THRASHING and condescending email in response to some confusion and frustration I had halfway through the process. The things I had questions and frustration about did not merit the back lash it received. Short and seemingly annoyed in emails along the wag Until the last email where I received a novel telling me my frustrations were my own fault. I have had enough emotional turmoil and bullying from my ex that the last thing I needed was the same treatment from my own attorney. If you want to hire Marilyn Moody Brown I strongly urge you to walk away. I have never been so disappointed and am still left with my jaw dropped.

Marilyn Brown and the staff at her firm are amazing!! They truly cared about me as a client and my best interest! They are professional and kind and I highly recommend Marilyn for an attorney!

My lawyer for my divorce. Helped keep both parties sane and laid ground work to protect me in the adventure to come.

Marilyn is simply amazing! She made me feel confident every step of the way and was available to answer all of my questions (I had a lot of them). I chose her based on many referrals and I was definitely not disappointed!!

Utah attorneys multiple attorneys offer family law criminal cases etc. Marilyn Moody Brown has been dedicated and given to me from multiple friends from mapleton! I think I have found the most amazing dedicated ,
Most importantly very thorough lawyer although we haven't met and I just really need her ASAP hopefully I'll hear back soon!!!!!
Currently a single father of 14 years for my beautiful daughter now we're just missing two others. PLEASE

Since the 1990's I have heard about Marilyn's reputation as a divorce attorney. My expectations were met, they went beyond them. Moody Brown Law has a dynamic team! From the receptionists, clear up to Marilyn & everyone in between. They are all rockstars! By far the best money I have ever spent.

Moody Brown Law provides outstanding legal services for our community. I have referred many clients here and have received nothing but fantastic feedback regarding the entire office staff - from front office to individual attorneys. Thank you for your outstanding services; keep up the good work! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I had an amazing experience working with Yaiko Carranza on my divorce. She was always very straight-forward with me and managed my expectations very well. She was always prepared and was always very responsive to my inquiries. I'm sure I asked her far more questions than she expected but she was always very gracious and took the time to answer them. I've only ever needed the services of one attorney in my life, but based on the outcome, the speed of the results, and also the attention to detail, I doubt I'll ever need to hire a different one. If all of the attorneys in this office are of the same caliber as Yaiko and the rest of her staff, look no further. You found the office you're looking for.

Tim did a fantastic job throughout my process, he listened to my needs, I felt like he truly cared about my situation, I strongly recommend!

Marilyn was a tremendous help in my divorce case. From the initial consultation and all through the process she made everything easy to understand and put my mind at ease. I appreciated the promptness of the firm, and the way they make you feel full of hope, all while maintaining full professionalism. Marilyn was kind and understanding and a killer attorney. I’m so grateful I used this firm and would recommend them over and over again.

Josh Faulkner is a wonderful attorney

Zack Star was very professional. He handled each aspect of my divorce thoroughly and I felt at ease despite the difficulty of the situation. He provided excellent advice and representation during our mediation and helped facilitate an amicable settlement.

The best hands down if you need it done right these guys will get it done

Wow, I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am for hiring Yaiko Carranza!! I hired another law firm at the beginning of my custody battle and lets just say... that was a major waste of money. My experience with moody brown law firm so far has been nothing but extraordinary. They are very quick and very good at what they do! I truly can't thank them enough. As a father in Utah I have felt very frustrated at times but hiring Moody Brown Law was the best thing I could have ever done for mine and my sons life. My son is now with me and safe! For the first time I feel like I finally am being heard. Don't make the expensive mistake I made by hiring any other law firm.. Go with the best!

I had the opportunity to have Marylyn as my attorney, and Marilyn was the best thing that happened to me during a difficult time.  She did a marvelous job in my case. She was very confident in negotiating with the opposing attorney, and never once did she back down in our position.  She took care of the entire divorce in a short period of time and was very reasonably priced. I am so very thankful to Marilyn for her expertise, intelligence and professionalism.
Someone referred her to me as a wonderful divorce lawyer, and they were right. I was glad to have the best divorce lawyer in Utah! Since my divorce, I have recommended Marilyn to several friends, because she is honest, hard working, cares about her clients; and more importantly, she will help you obtain the best deal possible. Thank you, Marilyn, for such an excellent job with my divorce and for going the extra mile.
You are the best.

I never believed in divorce, just tried and tried to do the best I could under awful situations. At one point felt running away would save my life but still no divorce till I realized it would never be safe to go back and he had full legal power over everything, having made me sign everything away. I had a wonderful therapist that helped me realize that sometimes divorce is the right choice. I prayed about it before deciding. I began to ask around, also terrified of being taken advantage of by lawyers.
Over and over again, Marylin Moody Brown was recommended. I talked to her and right away she told me how to reverse all the documents signing away my income, home worth and medical choices. I was so amazed and felt like she was taking me by the hand. She did teach and help me infinitely. My ex said he couldn't find anyone who wanted to oppose her because they knew they would lose. My fear was greatly reduced hearing this.
I was so clueless and she was so kind to me and fought for me. I feel safe now and so grateful. So very thankful that I was led to someone so helpful and kind. I will also mention that if I ever called or stopped by with a question, I was never put on hold. There was help right then. Thank you to the whole office for mending a broken down woman. I have always been an emergency room nurse and loved helping people. I truly believe they all love helping people.

Moody Brown Law is so wonderful, it makes me want to divorce my wife just to use their services. :)

It's been years since Marilyn helped me, but I am grateful daily for her help. I continue to refer people to her because I trust she is the best in the county.

I love you Marilyn, smart, beautiful & funny. Thank you for taking my case.

When I was searching for an attorney to represent me in my divorce, I consulted with numerous law firms and a few judges. There was one name that was consistently recommended as being the best family practice attorney: Marilyn Moody Brown. I'm so grateful that I had her by my side as the opposing side retained attorney after attorney to represent them. Marilyn tried to work with them, but when things turned to a fight - she beat them soundly. As one judge put it, "She's a Rock Star in the Legal World".

Besides representing me well, Marilyn was a master at negotiations which kept costs at a minimum. Her effectiveness and honesty is what impressed me most about Marilyn. When motions were filed against us, she had a response filed with the court almost by return mail. When we seemed at a dead end on some issues, Marilyn was able to negotiate a settlement. Marilyn's professionalism is reflected by her entire staff. They were very kind, informative, and prompt - from the secretary up front to the law clerk in the back. It almost makes me want to get another divorce. I HIGHLY recommend Marilyn Moody Brown to ANYONE.

Thank you Grant for making sure my modification is being pushed through and the ledger is changed for my current and back child support. You also made ors take the Lein off my bank account. I appreciate your work!

I wish we didn’t need an attorney but glad that we were able to enlist the services of Grant Dickinson to deal with our legal matters. Grant has been great to work with and responsive to our needs. His confident, calming demeanor along with his negotiating skills in dealing with a difficult and combative adversary, made all the difference. Grant turned a stressful situation into a… Well, he made it a lot less stressful, but most importantly closed the matter in short order and in our favor.

Our experience with Grant Dickinson has been fantastic! we have had a couple of issues come up over the last year where we decided we needed some legal assistance. Both times Grant has offered sound legal advice and has helped us with our legal issues. He has been able to put us at ease when faced with a very stressful situation and walked us through the process every step of the way. Grant is highly recommended by me.

All are snobs

My experience working with Marilyn was amazing!! She was very persistent. After meeting with Marilyn she knew exactly what I wanted and knew before even asking what direction needed to be taken. She truly cares about her clients and wants the best possible for them. There was never a doubt in my mind that she didn't have my back 100%. It made a very unpleasant situation at ease knowing I had Marilyn on my side.

Oh my goodness where to start!! GRANT DICKINSON is the best!! He has been our lawyer since 2014. He has helped us get temporarily permanent custody of my step son and we are going for sole custody! It has been a long road! Grant was always honest with us instead leading us down a road that would cost us money and wouldn't achieve anything. His patience and expertise is why we have been able to remove an innocent child from a bad situation! I don't have patience and would say I'm a needy client lol so I would call on whim and Grant would take my call even if I didn't have an appointment. One night I emailed him at 9 pm because there had been an incident and he replied right away and gave us instruction on what to do that night. Then we called first thing in the morning a little after 8 and where put right through to Grant! He again gave us instructions on what do to and we had my step in our care later that day. The staff was always friendly and helpful when I called or if I needed information! I would give Grant 10 stars if I could.

UPDATE: I KEEP LEAVING MY EXPERIENCE IN THEIR FB PAGE AND THEY KEEP DELETING.
If you guys want a law firm that will extend the case longer than it needs to because they want your money, use this law firm. If you guys want a law firm that checks and submits final documents whenever they want and not by the soonest day possible use Moody Law Firm, they are the best at hiding you docs somewhere and don't bother to check unless you give them a call. They had my signed documents since August, they were supposed to submit final documents middle of November 2016. It is now December and they had not send them, why? Because the lawyer neglected to tell me that they could not submit a signed copy that has notes. I never received a call or notice via mail that they had to be signed again. Now thanks to this law firm my soon to be ex-husband could have the chance of getting two more months of my 401K. If you are looking for that type of service, well then, they are the best at it.

Good to work with.

In September 2015 I retained Yaiko Carranza to assist me with my divorce case. While Yaiko was out of town I was pushed into a situation where I needed to put a protective order in place for my son and I. Due to the seriousness of the situation, I got the protective order granted. A few days before my hearing I was notified that Yaiko did not do protective orders and that Grant Dickinson would be the one attending my order hearing. I had over an hour conversation with Grant Dickinson to explain in detail my case and my situation so we were prepared for our hearing date. Grant showed up late to my hearing unprepared and hardly knew my name let alone any of the information or details about my case that I shared with him prior. Grant allowed the other attorney to belittle me without so much as an objection or rebuttal. When it was his turn to speak he did not even defend me. He also allowed the other attorney to move forward on the temporary orders of my divorce case without any information about my case or what I shared with him. The results were devastating. The protective order was thrown out, the temporary orders put into place gave my alcoholic ex full physical and legal custody of my son, I was thrown out of my home and forced to find housing for my son and I and was granted “parenting time” every other weekend. I reached out to Yaiko Marilyn to try to fix the situation. A few days later they filed an objection and then withdrew. A year later I am still fighting this case, I still have my son full time because of my ex’s condition, my ex’s home is in foreclosure which is partially mine, my ex has 2 domestic violence cases in front of a minor and I still have not received anything along the lines of support for my son and I. Saying that I was poorly represented is an understatement. This disaster has not only lost me my home but has made this last year a total nightmare.

Moody Brown Law is exceptional. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They are extremely good at what they do. The entire office is very kind and understanding. I would recommend them to everyone.

A split review - Marilyn was fantastic, we highly recommend her. However, if you get assigned to someone else in her office (like we did after Marilyn represented us), go elsewhere. We definitely felt he was playing the good 'ole boy and was more focused on kissing up to the judge and opposing counsel far more than representing us. He did nothing we asked. Because it was such a cut and dried case, we won the financial portion, but lost the kids completely (which was FAR more important). The judge had chosen AND appointed a psychiatrist for the family. He (the judge chosen counselor) said he had never (in his 30 yrs of practice) seen such a horrible case of alienation (that the mother was doing). When this next hearing came, the judge said his very own choice was too prejudicial and threw all his recommendations (as well as the thousands spent to have the court ordered sessions) and the MOODY attorney did NOTHING. I could go on and on with what we consider gross malpractice (the appointed guardian ad litem [Jackman] said he'd be glad to bring a coke to one of the kids if we brought it to him and paid him $150 - no joke or exaggeration) - but it would take too long to type it all. If you don't have a guarantee of Marilyn the ENTIRE time (even after the main divorce hearing), do not choose Moody Brown. I want to give a negative star review, but Marilyn is better than that. ps - our daughter's name shows up as the reviewer, not ours.

10 STARS! ABSOLUTE BEST ATTORNEY IN UTAH!!!!!

We searched EVERYWHERE for a good attorney, and a friend recommended Marilyn, saying she was the best attorney in Utah. She was right! Marilyn is FANTASTIC. She was able to get all of my paperwork in and filed before the other party's attorneys even had the chance to get a pen! She handled all of my issues promptly, answered every question I had, was a PIT-BULL in the courtroom, and I even got full custody of my son and uncovered hidden money that was eventually handed to me! She was well worth the price we paid. I highly recommend her, and the other attorneys in her office are excellent also, very professional and precise.

Moody Brown is the best! Sometimes I consider divorcing my wife just to use their services (just kidding). Sincerely, Moody Brown's staff is the most competent, and highest skilled Family Law firm in Utah! I have multiple friends who have been on the winning side of having Moody Brown represent them, and sadly multiple friends who have been on the losing end of going against Moody Brown.

You literally cannot afford to not hire Moody Brown, and you need to hire Moody Brown before your spouse does!

I paid a fortune for these legal services. After paying over 5,000 in legal fees. I was in the same situation. My mediation was a complete mess and cost me over $250 an hour. My retention was used up before anything was accomplished. I felt very poorly represented. I ended up having to represent myself to get anything done. I don't feel I was well informed of my options. I always dealt with a paralegal, but got billed the same. Unless you can afford to keep forking out thousands and thousands of dollars, you will be put at the bottom of the list and your money will dry up fast. I would never recommend this law firm to anyone. When i called to say how I felt, no one even bothered asking why or how they could help. I was sent a final bill, with added charges to discontinue legal advice.
