Law Office Of Craig T. Peterson, PLLC

I can’t recommend Kelly and his amazing team more! He helped us with a three year long custody battle. They were always five steps ahead and were always ready for anything that came up. They really helped us with a painful and stressful part of our lives.

Kelly Peterson is a phenomenal family divorce attorney. He is incredibly thorough while also being focused on the issues and on how to fix them and because of that along with his expertise, we have had a lot of success with him! I am truly grateful for Kelly’s hard work and how much he cares about his clients. I highly highly recommend Kelly and his team. He knows what he is doing. He knows the law and he is committed and professional. I wanted to give a shout out to Kori as well who is amazing to work with and always walks us through the next step effortlessly. I can’t say enough about how amazing this office is!

Kelly and his team were amazing, they helped us navigate through the process of custody. Switching custody from another state which was overwhelming. They guided us through the process and delivered the outcome we were looking for. I would highly recommend them!!!

My wife and I recently worked with Kelly as our attorney to go up against my wife's ex husband in a child custody case, and while we found him to be very knowledgeable, efficient, and emotionally sound, we were disappointed with the outcome and the way the case was handled. Kelly and his team were diligent in understanding our situation, but we felt blindsided the day before mediation when Kelly informed us that he would not be representing us if the case went to litigation in fear of the opposing attorney. He even went as far to request that we not share his reluctance to litigate against the opposing legal counsel as a “personal favor”, which displayed a complete lack of professionalism. This left us feeling disheartened and unsure of our chances in court. Had he informed us months earlier when he knew who the opposing attorney was that he would not litigate against him, it would have been appreciated, and would have resulted in a positive review for his integrity. However, informing us the day before mediation felt very dishonest. I would advise others to make sure they have all their expectations set upfront and understand that if they are looking for an attorney to go the distance, Kelly may not be the best choice depending on the opposing legal counsel. I imagine there will be a response from Kelly’s team stating that our assumptions are incorrect or that we are blaming them for our decision to settle. We made the decision to settle, Kelly did not. However, the actions of our own counsel left us feeling isolated going into mediation knowing he would not be moving forward with our case because it wasn’t “worth the money or time” to go to court against our opposing counsel. During the crucial moment of mediation when we were feeling defeated and our retainer was dwindling, he thought that would be the best time to recommend several skilled attorneys who could take on our opposing counsel and fight for us. Here they are for your reference. Doug Thayer, Cassie Medura, Scott Wiser, and Yaiko Carranza.

I highly recommend Kelly Peterson to take on your divorce case. Salt Lake is filled with a cesspool of highly unethical, rule breaking corrupt attorneys that will do almost anything to bill fees regardless of what the results might be. My experience with Kelly Peterson is he's a ethical straight shooter who takes great pride in the work he does. Kelly is a fighter! He works hard for his clients as well as his dedication to the work itself. He's exceptional at narrowing down the issues and making a plan of action. He's direct and to the point and kept me focused which saves fees. Stay away from attorneys who lack focus on the key issues, it will cost you a ton. Stay away from attorneys who lack credibility with the commissioners and judges. Attorneys who are known for taking short cuts simply lie at hearings and trial. My experience with Kelly and seeing him in the courtroom he shows up prepared and ready to fight on your behalf. Kelly is very organized which will work to your benefit vs attorneys who take on too many cases and have their paralegals working the case. Bottom line Kelly is one of the good guys in a sea of corrupt attorneys practices family law in Salt Lake and Utah Counties. Corrupt attorneys will cost you a fortune in your divorce and your credibility with the commissioners and judges. Kelly Peterson is a solid, respected choice in family law in Utah.
