Recently my son encountered some trouble. My son's case with Matt Brimley could not have gone any smoother. Matt provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism. Matt kept us posted on all updates and provided me with prompt returned calls and emails with any questions I had. He goes above and beyond for his clients. I would recommend Matt to any one that needs legal assistance.

Google won’t let me post the novel that I have. So, I will say this as simply as possible.
Matt didn’t help us. He gave us the worst possible advice.
We emailed him with 5 different question of things that needed to be answered, his response addressed 1 answer, he ignored the rest. She'd call 3-4 times a week and it would take that to get a response.
2 days before court he asked for the documents we had sent him 9 months previous; to a different email address. it became clear in mediation that he had not read the divorce decree. He actively put my wife in a dangerous situation, and then proceeded to help My wife’s ex. He literally made things worse – we hired him to protect my wife and step daughter. He did the exact opposite. When they stood in front of the commissioner Matt told the commissioner that they had agreed to things that that neither one of them did.

Matt said he’d file the paperwork with the court. 3 weeks later, nothing happened. No filing. That was in August.

After the hearing we called three other lawyers, all three of them said that the advice he gave us would not be something they would have done, for the exact reasons that we experienced. He literally gave us the worst possible advice according to three separate lawyers.

Matt hurt my family emotionally, and financially. Matt called us and demanded more money, we told him no, we want the retainer returned because he didn’t help us. He hurt us. He said “No” We told him to return the retainer or we take it to the Utah bar. His response was literally “Go head, I don’t care if you do.” Guess what I did, and with a Mountain of evidence of his negligence. 23 pages of evidence.

I went through reviews on google maps to look for reviews out of curiosity. I wish I had done this first. I sorted by worst. Nearly every negative review is a woman in a comparable situation to my wife, nearly every positive review is a man who is fighting. if you’re a woman Matt will not fight for you, it appears he will actively fight against you with your own money. The results on google suggest some horrible things about his moral character.

Mr. Brimley accompanied me to the Mediator and helped me settle a dispute with my ex husband.
I definitely had higher goals for the case.
I would recommend his services for those who do not have the money to pay out to all the Money Suckers out there.
Great person, very kind and friendly.

Very bad at communicating. I had to email him several times and leave voicemails because he would not pick up the phone.
After all of this he was unable to open up a case and get me a hearing like we spoke about.. after this failure I asked him for a partial refund. He refused to give a partial refund and started to add up fees to justify him taking my money with no results.. NEVER HIRE THIS GUY!!

Mathew Brimley was our attorney for one of the cdl drivers from our trucking company. Driver received failure to obey traffic control device and overweight. Both tickets were completely dismissed. This is a great job done by Mr. Bimley and I would recommend him to every trucking company and every driver who received ticket in Utah. Plus the prices are very reasonable!!! Great attorney , great job! Thank you again!

I will recommend Matt Brimley to anyone and everyone! He is so personal and made me a priority even though my case was small. He kept in contact with me and always returned my calls and emails quickly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing I had hired an attorney that was a genuine person and wasn't there just to take my money. That was proven throughout the process and I trust him enough to recommend him to anyone and know he will do a quality job. I'm SO glad I went to him!!!

If I could give him a 0 i would.. He never responded to my emails and never gave me paper work in time to contest it. He didnt tell me when i need to be in court and so they ruled against me. He also agreed that i would pay my exs fees because i wasnt at court.. I told him of abuse that was going on and after 4 emails and tons of phone calls trying to get him to respond he finally replied that i just need to do better to teach the other parent how to not abuse the child. If you need a paper pusher them maybe he could do that but if you need someone to have your back and fight for you and or your child DO NOT HIRE HIM!!!!

Worst attorney ever. Don't waste your money. Fights for users and abusers and will ignore truth and right. Don't even use him as someone to just file paperwork because he'll even do that late just to hurt your case.

Matt was very helpful and understanding. He made it easy for for us, and we were able to handle everything through phone calls and email without having to come into the office. He always responded to us personally and we felt he tried hard to do what was in our best interest. We would definitely use Matt again if the need arose. Thank you, Matt!

Matt was incredible. He gave me an honest assessment, then proceeded to handle my case with speed, accuracy and efficiency. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

He responded quickly to each of my questions and helped me know what was needed to finalize my divorce.

Matt Brimley is the worst attorney I have ever met. He is a bumbling idiot in court. Unprepared. didn't know any of the details of my case. Took my money and seldom replied to an email or phone call. The guy is a scam artist. -0 rating if there is such a thing.

I personally will not go back to Matt. He rarely reached out to me so I had to call once a month to see where we were. He would wait until I called for an update to tell me he already has new back just didn't let me know. He didn't help fight for our marriage debt to equally divided. He also didn't come up with the child custody schedule. I would tell him what I wanted and he'd just be the middle man to type it up and send over. When we would get a response from my ex husband's attorney he wouldn't help share what was changed just told me to let him know if we agreed or not. If you have an easy case I'm sure he'd do fine, and isn't too expensive. But if it gets a little sticky I wouldn't recommend. I know am trying to find another attorney to help me revise the decree because the custody schedule doesn't help me.

Really doesn't even deserve one star. I sent several emails to Matt throughout my divorce process and he only responded twice. I paid him in full up front which was a HUGE mistake. It was like he knew he could slack off and do a crappy job because he'd already gotten paid. My case should have take three months, it took 9.

Matt was AMAZING! He helped me and was very very resonable. The courts and getting them to sign the papers was the slowest part of the whole process.

Matthew was great. He was reasonably priced and made the process easier. Was willing to work with both me and my ex.

I wish you could rate a 0! Matthew Brimley is a fraud, he takes your $$$ then works against you. He refuses to to get to know your car and is very in professional. On my most important court hearing he brought his children and NO time to talk to me about what happened or what we were going to do next. He didn't even know what he was doing and screwed me over for a second time. I wish I would've known what a fraud he was before I wasted all my time effort and $$$ on him. Now I unfortunately can't afford another attorney to help me in my case :(

Mr. Brimley was very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. He was very good at explaining complex legal principles in an easy to understand fashion. He was very willing to work with my schedule.

I had Matthew help me with my legal issues regarding my child and he made me feel important and valued. He listened with sincerity. I trusted him from the our first meeting that he would do all he could to help me. He was thorough, detailed and very time conscious. He turned my case around in a timely fashion and got me exactly what was asked. I felt he did everything in his power to meet my needs. Mr. Brimley isn't like those busy attorneys who have their legal assistants to communicate through. He gave me his direct, personal attention. I recommend Matt Brimley to anyone seeking family law assistance.

I have had the pleasure of retaining Mr. Brimley on 2 separate occasions. He was great to work with both times. As a single parent I had a very busy schedule and he would always make time for me.
I had dumped thousands of dollars into another Attorney with little to show. Mr. Brimley came through for me at a very reasonable rate. I am very pleased!

When I first hired mister Brimley I thought he gave me a first good impression but soon learned after I hired him that that first impression was just lip service. I would try to Talk to Mr. Brimely on the phone and he would constantly put me on the back burner. One day he tried to hang up the phone in the middle of a conversation and I had to tell him I wasn't finished talking to him and not to hang up. Bottom line on his website it says that you will get the best attention and this and that what a crock! I had to fire him and hire another Lawyer because I wasn't confident in him to represent me.

So I noticed a comment on here saying that my Comment was because My Divorce was filled with emotion and that is why I left the comment I made.....That wasn't it at all. Mathew Brimley is a great lawyer for non contested Divorces. Sure when you need him just to be a simple mediator he might be good or to do some paper work because all he is good for is paper pushing! But if you have a serious Divorce custody battle not a good Idea to use him. My Divorce took three years to finalize that's even after I fired Matt. But he was siding with my Ex Wife and her attorney right from the beginning that is why I fired him! My Ex wife was on abc news for a home invasion and was a Crystal Meth addict and drug dealer and he had the audacity to question my honesty about the kind of Father I was like I was the bad guy. My ex wife has been in Jail for almost a year and has another year to go for crimes like Burglary and distribution of Meth. But he wanted me to have Joint custody with this women. Don't put your two cents in on my comment. You might of had a different experience with Mathew Brimley but that is your experience not mine!! I have full custody of my Daughter right now and it was definitely not because of Mr Brimley. I flushed $1600 dollars down the drain for him filling out a couple pages of papers and him telling me that I am just as bad a parent as my Ex and I should just go for Joint Custody. If I would have listened to Mr Brimley my daughter would have gone through two home invasions with my ex and been in front of countless drug addicts and drug deals and who know's how much meth would have been smoked in front of her! Glad you all had a good experience, it sounds like some of your divorces were a lot less contested then mine as well! If you have a highly contested divorce don't use this man, there is definitely better Lawyers out there at the same price he is willing to charge!!

I worled with Brimley on a custody case and He was able to get the job done quickly and no hiccups a long the way.

I hired Mr. Brimley to help me with my online divorce. He did a very good job at giving me a fair price and getting all the paperwork done and filed. I was very glad to have everything go so smoothly. I am now going to hire him again to help Terminate Parental Rights. I am certain things will go just as well this time as they did the first time. I would recommend him to anyone needing family law. He was very knowledgeable and did everything he said he would do.

My experience with Matt Brimley was the opposite as negative comments published below. Family law is emotionally fueled at times, that may explain "amhpanda" feelings. Brimley helped me with my visitation rights- he did what he said for a reasonable price. He was a good listener, he explained how the process worked before we began, so there was no surprises. I hope I don't need him again, but if the situation arrises- I would go back to Brimley. My kids are happier, they get to see their Dad!
